Introduce Yourself Here

@jdwaid welcome brother

@Mizmazzle genuine question, is 'lower education' the actual term used to describe the demographic that you teach?
“𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

@T4920 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_education I guess that is referring to the age group he's teaching.
-
@tody I teach students pursuing graduate degrees. All are adult learners.

@Mizmazzle about 10 years now, 8 of those years full time.
-
@Mizmazzle @jdwaid one of the benefits of teaching undergrads, for me at least, was being able to tell them that they were all there of their own free will and could always just leave if they didn't want to be there. Shut them up most of the time. But I guess that's not an option for you guys
-
@Tago-Mago best I can do is try and help them see how lucky they are to be in school. Which for many of them goes over like a lead balloon.

Call me Ishmael.
No, hang on, just being facetious.
So hello everyone, happy to be here, but in truth not, since I don't actually own a pair of IHs.
Working on remedying that.

Are these IH kosher? 634z? Never heard of them. I know the 634s.
Google only shows the eBay listings for this mysterious 634z...prices range from USD 199 to USD 205 +.
Again, are these authentic? No selvedge. Zip fly. Leather patch looks ok, but who can tell these days?
P S In a previous life I ran web/software firm, among our services were managing online forums. It always galled me where sites/forums did not update something as simple as a date. This forum's date is 2022. Does anybody care?

@Amko This is the link to the 634z thread: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/5371/ih-634z-21oz-denim-straight-cut-jeans-indigo?_=1711458468881

IH-634Z are Kosher, we used to stock them but people who apparently cant read would buy them and then return them because they were not selvedge. The denim also does not have as much character as the selvedge 21oz, but the cut is arguably better because the pattern is not constrained by having to have parallel outseams.
Is the copyright date date not when a significant new version is released? If so, 2022 is accurate.

@Goosehd: Thank you for the link. Checked out the page and I was happy to note this:
I would absolutely rock these-I prefer button flys but I am less and less concerned about that or selvedge anymore. I'd get them hemmed no cuff right to the floor. 21oz is just a bit heavy for these humid Philly summers I'd be all in. - StarsSuck
I have enough selvedge from Japan by now and that is all I have been using. Perhaps a non-selvedge, with a great non-parallel cut as Giles says, and wind-proof, ideal for the bike, might be a welcome change.
I will allow myself to be guided by you (both) - and of course @Haraki-san - in this matter.
Oh, another thing: from my time in the States - just outside Daytona Beach, Orlando Fl. - I've lost track of the amount of times I've inadvertently scorched my jeans on the Harley. Hopefully a 21 oz. will mitigate my bad riding.
Giles: I'll let you know re: the 634z. Thanks!

Greetings, Giles!
Got my first IH-666s Devil's Fit jean: IH-666s-21 oz. in indigo.
And here is my current ride.
-
@Amko Great pair of jeans and hope you enjoy them! Love to hear your thoughts and some fit pics when you get them.
Just to let you know I moved your post here to the introduce yourself thread. Once you get your jeans I can move those posts to the 21-666 thread and if you have some more pics of your bike, can move those to the motorcycles thread.
Edit: Hope you don’t mind me moving your thread with your previous experience managing online forums. Where did you work or what forums did you manage?

@Amko welcome here!
) I really do love it. How long have you been teaching college aged people?
