I’ve gotten to the point where I wear almost all IH jeans — I still have a few other pairs that I find interesting and cool (RMC, Momotaro, Samurai, Ooe) but frankly I don’t think I’ll buy many (if any) other brands of jeans from here on out. I just like IH’s stuff infinitely more.
With shirts and tees etc, it’s a much more mixed bag. I’ve got a bunch of Merz stuff, I+W and Buck Mason tees that I’ve worn into the ground, plus I wear a lot of Oxford type shirts like Gitman Vintage etc. I really like Seuvas too.
I don’t think I could ever go one brand — some days I feel like being a decked out IH guy, but probably more often than not I like to mix and match.

@Tago-Mago an IH wool sweater would be fantastic. Heimat’s currently my favorite go-to for that. Andersen is cool but I def find it a bit itchy.
Overbuilt, heavy IH crewneck sweater tho? Yes please.

@popvulture Agreed, either shetland or merino would be fantastic. Polos without branding would also be great. Professional attire is one area where IH obviously isn't particularly well represented in my wardrobe with the exception of one pair of chinos
-
@popvulture it would have to be 100% wool to get my attention and about 95% of all "wool" includes some form of poly now such that the quality isn't as good as decades ago. I think it would be hard for them to get the quality they want. Even Real McCoys is using poly in their wool sweaters.

I'm about 90% IH myself in non beach/ out in the heat clothing. Have a couple jackets and Tees that aren't IH...
Sometimes I'm curious about another t shirt or maybe a Dehen wool sweater...
Hot ass summer and outside....I find Freenote shorts and linen shirts to be on point!

@Oaktavia It happend to me as well. But my approach is less about brand and more about best of breed.
Materials and construction will always be the deciding factors. And since Iron Heart is Iron Heart, inevitably my wardrobe is becoming 85% IH dominant. But i.e. on the loopwheel front I just like MbS way more (plus it's made in EU and I want to support local production). On the knitting front Dehen seems to rule the world for me in fashion and I have Swedish Woolpower brand for technical stuff. -

I have found myself totally converting my wardrobe over the last couple of years.
Bottoms, full IH. Flannels and shirts in general as well.
A far as 'quality' clothing is concerned, there's the occasional Merz tee and Andersen wool sweater, but that's about it. Oh and, jackets from other brands of course.In the 'cheap' category nothing will replace my music/automotive t-shirts, though.

I do plan on picking up a sweater when my wife and I head to Iceland this summer before Gosport. So there is that...maybe I'll get one with a puffin on it. The extras in a few Sigur Ros videos make me green with envy with sweater envy.

@Jett129 said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:
I’m also at about 90% all IH all the time. Just a smattering of items from other brands that ,as time goes on,get worn less and less.
About sums me up as well

@Oaktavia I’m about the same as @goosehd it took me about two years to replace 90-95% of my wardrobe with IH. I have only IH jeans, shirts, shorts and jackets.. still have yet to submit to IH t-shirts, I love my UES slub tees and can’t see those going anywhere. I am about to order my first IH tee though so that could change
-
@sabergirl this is where I’m at too. I like my graphic tees for chopper and bmx brands. They’re all such small companies, gotta support them too. But tees to me are practically underwear too. So aside from tees, undies, and socks, all IH. Oh and my leather jacket. Still waiting for the IHxSB that’s gonna dethrone that….
