Things That Make People Stop and Ask

Heavy Duty

@tfar:

I know but they kept the flag label and design philosophy.

True and also the English made and designed inner label confusingly.

Oh, I never checked. My Belstaff is from 05 or 06. I will look when I'm back home.

As of late, it's been my Flat Head, Type II jacket or my IHSH-22

Bump to the top for the new members

i get a bunch of comments on my -16 and -08 because they look tough as nails
dita grandmaster iis get a lot too, normally because they absolutely dominate my face (and thus conversation - normally kickstarts another round of everyone trying them on*)
the jackets i got from landon - especially the lambskin one, mainly because of the intoxicating aroma
the other week i had my saddleback out at a bar, and a couple of girls were poking fun at me for having such a heavy bag and scrawny shoulders that couldn't support it. i wasn't going down that easy so i fireman carried them both outside to the smoking section

*when your script is as strong as mine, this can spawn new games in themselves. one night a bunch of people played the "wear steve's glasses down a set of stairs without breaking your ankle" game. everyone won, but there were some bruised butts

Most recently for me it was my Ande Whall Cougars

I've seen many folks looking at my BB-ODs as black jeans are a bit more rare but nobody has asked anything yet. Maybe after they start fading to indiglo

madmonday

been wearing my 526J the past couple of days & have been stopped by folks that wanted to have a better look at it & ask a few questions.

guess they have good taste

I was asked about some Samurai's I had on once…..apart from that only my Supreme box logo hoody and duffle bag

My 666ODs get compliments all the time and asked what type of jeans I am wearing. They voted me best dressed at work :D. I just say Iron heart when they ask for the price I tend to change topics :-X.

Other than that people have asked what Red wings I have and a pair of Nudies I used to wear.

Thought I would revive this thread.

My IH-811's - Wabash painter pants…......It may be because people are stunned to see me not wearing indigo jeans, but get positive comments every time I wear them

IHD-01od - another banker for a positive comment....

Just_KC

IHSH-27BK. no contest. followed by IHSH-34. chicks seem to dig it. shrugs

My IHW-01's get compliments every time I wear them. Specifically the Charcoal because it stands out a bit more than the other two.

zhivago

People do seem to notice the W-01 a bunch when I wear mine as well, I've been wearing one a bunch lately. Now that I think about it, I have gotten a compliment on the charcoal one most every time I have had it on.

32 red seems to be a close runner up.

I've had people call them "special" or "crazy" not entirely sure if those were meant as compliments though …

^same here on heavy denim. Most people can't believe that these jeans are wearable.

jacoavlu

I think the only piece I own that I've received random compliments from strangers about is my TWHRII jacket.

Jestre

A new part-timer at work once asked to me, "Are you wearing selvedge jeans?" as I crossed the main office. When I happily replied "yes!" she said, "You don't see those much in Berks County." The county I live in has an interesting populace comprised of old school Pennsylvania Dutch on one side & one of the poorest & most crime-ridden cities in the States on the other side. With a little bit of Jestre in the middle It still shocks me to this day that someone actually recognized a quality piece of denim.
