I actually did manage to find a couple of good fits with ONI, most recently the 634 in the Secret Denim. But now (in the UK at least) there seems to be a lack of raws for whatever reason and now commonly 'one-wash' seems to be sold.
I'd had three pairs of the ZR (secret denim) from raw and it's fantastic, still have a Type II that's like wearing a soft, cozy denim blanket, however the one-wash version of the ZR is night/day different to the raw. Different hand, different fit, wears totally different over time.
About 5 years ago I had a stunning 22oz natural indigo pair of ONI with kabuki selvedge. Went to buy another pair and just impossible to get.
I hear you on the other brands. I have two pairs of Nudie in the closet, a 'Gritty Jackson' in their 14-15oz 'Dry Ace' selvedge and the 'Tuff Tony' in 17oz heavy selvedge.
Frustratingly the fits are absolutely perfect, like flawless fit. But as you say, hard to love the denim as much when you've been wearing the likes of Iron Heart.

@1981FXe I've only ever had the one wash stuff from Denimio. My double indigo type ii is an absolute beauty though, although the stitching hasn't held up too well... 2x cuff repairs in a year!
I had a pair of skin tight nudies almost 15 years ago, fond memories... My folks threw out the majority of my old denim stash years ago, took me a while to forgive them haha. I remember being unsatisfied with the fades at the time, but look back at photos today, I'd kill for my IHs to get ruffed up that bad!

@Alex Thank you very much!

Are there any changes in the „All Bottoms” section in online store? I see 2 new tabs Slim Tapered Cut and Relaxed Cut. And they are empty and go to the main page. Or am I tired enough for today?

@AdamJ thanx, yesterday I was close to ”I see dead people” mode. But all is ok

@Alex Thank you Alex

@Zee-Boo Complete side-bar, but I said "I see dead people" to a young person (early 20s) in my office the other day. They didn't understand what I was referencing. I think it's now officially a "boomer meme". I felt old before my time.

@EdH its sad and funny simultaneously, isn’t it? 🥸

I heavily favor the look of chinos that have ‘on-seam’ main pockets and have a difficult time sourcing them. Guess it isn’t a popular option. Lately I’m only aware of the RRL officer chino being made/sold. Nothing wrong with the RRLs but I’d be happier if I found an IH-quality/weight chino in that style. Any suggestions?

@Alex - I know the post was almost 6 years ago, but any idea what jeans you’re wearing in the IHTB-BOBRN - Wesco 10'' Brown Domain Boss Boot thread?

@Nik thank you for the above suggestion.
I checked them out online but their style is more refined/dressier than I am looking for. Looking for a more informal look. -
I'll be making my first-ever visit to the UK in May. Is there a process for visiting IHUK in Gosport, or is it walk-in friendly?
