RE: SaturdayTypeFever - Sashiko Blazer - Indigo
I recently bought a fixer-upper house in Sydney and nearly all my budget is going into doing the renovation the right way. Haven't bought anything beyond a couple tees in the last 8 months or so because my closet is already so full of amazing IH pieces. But, I saw this in my inbox this morning and it was 100% me, so I grabbed one. Guess I can save money on lighting somewhere to justify it.

RE: IHSH-33-T - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt With Tonal Stitching - Indigo
Why isn't this shirt more popular? I don't think there's even competition for me that this is my favorite IH denim shirt. I wore it hiking Angel's Landing today with my 18 oz 555s. Sorry, the ensemble didn't make it up Observation Point as well, as that was more of a speed-oriented running outing.

Oops. Never posted pics. Really like this one:
Bonus cat to match the cat hat (he has a movement disorder, hence the odd looking leg stance):

RE: SaturdayTypeFever - Sashiko Blazer - Indigo
Got it; love it. Pics to come. This will work well for me to dress up what is frequently perhaps an overly casual look while working at a university in a hot, very humid environment (a lot of 6.5 and 7.5 oz tees with shorts).

RE: IHJ-75-KHA - Primaloft® Gold and eVent® Mountain Parka - Khaki
Just grabbed the last small and quite like it. The primary use aside from a warm winter jacket will be high altitude winter camping, and I wanted a jacket that will function but also look good. I'm curious about the fabric though. Pertex and eVent are competing brands, but both are stated. It appears to be eVent based on tags, but Pertex Shield is named in a few places. My impression is that IH switched from Pertex Shield to of of the event DV fabrics (my older IHJ-11, for example, has a Pertex Shield tag where this has the eVent waterproof tag). Am I misunderstanding something? Which specific eVent one is it this, btw?
Cheesing it up:

I've had this for ~3 1/2 years now. It's probably been worn about 150-175 times in that time and hasn't been washed yet. Looks good so far, but still has a looooong way to go!

Cool, thanks. It looks like the fabric section online still says Pertex, btw.

Wore this to Oktoberfest today. Don't worry; some poor-quality lederhosen are coming tomorrow.

Saw this one in the catalogue today when receiving my indigo sashiko blazer. Beautiful! This is my favourite of the upcoming season!

RE: IHM-35-ODG - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket - Olive
Just grabbed one of these from SE when they added a bit more stock online and happy with it. Had previously sold a navy N1 when moving down under, but I realised that was a mistake and it would have been the perfect jacket for mild winters here (but nice when often in areas without heating at a fairly cold temperature for a long period of time). Navy wasn't really the right colour for me, having pets, but the olive is terrific. Compared to my older navy (2018 IHM-29), it seems that the same size has slightly longer sleeves and a slightly shorter but slightly looser body. Quite happy with it, particularly the longer sleeves. Will take a pic with it whenever I remember.

RE: Random questions to which you seek an answer
It just came to my attention that there's an "Iron Heart Canning" company that cans beers and often leaves off the "Canning" portion of the name. I realize that IH wasn't the first use of the name (there's a 1992 movie), but with Marvel and a beer company both using the same name, is that a concern to the IH brand?

RE: IH-777S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
Picked up a pair at SENY recently. Wife and I will be moving somewhere quite a bit more humid in ~6 months, and I found 25 oz denim rather unpleasantly sweaty while visiting, so bought something much lighter.
A sharp new pair of jeans really pairs well with my color 2 wing tip Aldens. I definitely new yellow shirting to go with my Phin /Ebbets Ukraine colors cap.

RE: IH-729-OLV - Cotton Easy Shorts - Olive
Regarding sizing, are the measurements taken with or without the waistband stretched?

Thanks! She's really great! She probably has 30 pieces of her own, and I'm up to maybe 5 for me.
