SS21 collection: First reactions, top three items….

[neph93]

If people buy it then it gets made and Giles will stock it. They definitely moved slowly last time around, but I do think the growth of the brand in the US over the last few years will be a decisive factor here, so the time seems right to try again.

As for being thankful for IH, I feel you. Yes it costs money, and can be a serious drain on the finances, but I too appreciate being able to buy and wear clothing that works for my climate and lifestyle, that become a fixture in my life. It adds a whole new layer of meaningfulness to the prosaic activity of buying clothes and getting dressed in the morning.

I've just seen this thread now, and my top three are:

• IHJ-99-IND

• IHSW-55-IND

• IHSH-283-WHT

[neph93]

Excellent choices Graeme… not sure how much wear I’d get out of the Boss shirt, but it really is nice.

It was actually a toss up between the Boss shirt and the IHSH-276. But since the latter was getting a lot of love, I thought that I'd be a contrarian.

There are a few other things that I like. The Mountain Parka looks great.

The 888 SST

Of course right after I bought another pair of regular 888 21oz…

I need to go hit the axlotl tanks and grow more clones so I can actually wear all the stuff I want, brb.

[JDelage]

Top two are easy:

• IHSH-284-IND - 6oz Wabash Short Sleeved Work Shirt - Indigo
• IHSH-277-IND - 9oz Selvedge Ombré Check Work Shirt - Indigo

After that there are several contenders for #3…

Had to sleep on this a bit

1. IHJ-97-GRN  Dig the green color a lot.  Looks like a chill piece that could get a lot of wear

2. IHSH-284-IND Wabash is a fever that only more Wabash can cure

3. IH-555-SST We all know H is a genius & I have faith my range of motion will be restored

I may need to use that in the future…. genius.

As for the SST... keep the faith alive and it will be repaid.

@neph93:

The SS21 collection has been revealed and it is big and bold. Lots to choose from, including a slew of new items, and reconfigured classics.

What are your reactions to the collection as a whole? If you could only choose three items what would they be?

My top three:
1. IH-666-SST

The idea of having the 666 in the dimensions intended and actually being able to get into them makes me so very happy.

2. IHV-40-BRN

I have the IHV-08 beach vest and it is one of my favourite pieces of all time. Pimping it with leather patch pockets makes buying another one an easy choice.

3. IHSH-276-IND

Just brilliant. A beautiful, beautiful shirt.

So I ended up not buying any of these The 276 went too quickly, the IHV-40 and the IH-666-SST are both still very real possibilities however. Bought a load of other stuff too 🥰

New thread for the F/W going up shortly.
