Ah it wont be for a while (i think March 20), I preordered it from a trunk show at rivet and hide

Oh so it's coming back for SS20, good to know! Cheers.

@Max Power Nice evo pics, creases setting in nicely. Can't wait for my Eric to arrive

Where did you find an Eric? That's the only style of theirs I find interesting.

Fit-pics when you get it, please.

Is it possible to request these be made with the additional half-slips for increased arch-support and as an auxilliary question, do such half-slips actually enhance the arch in a meaningful way?

This style of a shirt would absolutely benefit from side pockets - it's a surprisingly empty niche at the moment.

IHSH-164 was $1650 so if anyone asks, we can claim we are actually saving money by purchasing this.

Aetas, organisys & I all have triple stitched front and back yokes while on Brock's and peregrine's, it looks like 2 rows of stitching similar to the product photos in the store. I have triple stitching also on my 76.

I'm assuming this change was made at some point during the lifespan of the product but which one was the original spec? 177 and 178 have 2 rows of stitching on yokes which makes me guess this is a more recent way of doing it.

@Chap:

Good Morning forum and a great weekend everyone

I like this fit  8), makes me antsy for the Smokejumper-season (which for me is when there's snow on the ground… shouldn't be much longer now...).

I'm the first to admit I can be annoying at (most) times but I'm back to this thread to wonder about sizing. ::) The last pair in stock is the size I would go for in footwear manufactured by other prominent bootmakers in the Pacific North-West and some, like @Chris , wear the same size across different brands… While others have to go up in Wesco. Common sense would dictate that purchasing non-returnable items is not the way to learn your way around an unknown quantity but then again I have been spending nonsensible amounts of money purchasing leather jackets from Japan this autumn, with no prior experience with leather jackets of any kind, so being smart about these things is not a part of my core skillset. ::) But I digress. The 2 reasons I keep coming back to this build are that

• no more IH collab engineers shall be forthcoming, while I think I could use a pair of engineers (never had a pair before)

• this build is by far the best-looking

As these come with removable insoles, would it tell me anything of worth if I asked the good folks of Gosport to measure the insoles of the remaining pair, and go from there? As I haven't worn pull-on boots before I'm not savvy to all the aspects to factor in.

@wunnaz:

Thanks @Crit_Obs, i just grabbed it..
Hope it will fit well as i expected.

Cool beans. You could drop them a message (if you didn’t already), asking them to confirm the measurements before shipping. They are very accommodating and cordial when it comes to such requests.

Or buy from a retailer with the correct size in stock.

@louisbosco:

on another note, is any one here interested in doing fantasy league for shits and gigs? i feel like starting one for this forum just to see how competitive we can get…

Been a rough start to the fpl season but it seems I’m not alone - my 417 points so far are good for overall rank of 2382.

How has the game been treating you?

Lots of excellent fits in this thread, @jstark , @Steve , @Zein1505 and @Yogi217 to name but 4 guys killing it in this jacket… And @Powerband now joining this esteemed bunch with a fit that's just right, short-but-not-too-short and boxy-but-not-too-boxy, and compliments your style just excellently by the looks of it. Well done, sir!

ˆLooking good, masbro rifmas. It’s only one photo but can tell straight away that this jacket suits your style. Wear it in good health!

The new Eagle Rising shacket in black hh is very tempting, as leather shirts with ”handwarmer” pockets are few and far between… On the other hand, I’m not sold on their aesthetic style in general and this particular item seems to fall in a strange no-man’s land between work and western; I’d prefer more of the latter but that’s just me.

Anyone know of other brands making leather shirts with sidepockets, preferably in horsehide? Flathead’s F-HLS001 (catchy name) would be perfect if it had sidepockets.

Good fit. Tapering these tapered jeans further seems like a very bad idea judging by the current fit but YMMV.

ˆActually that’s quite the best possible way to monetize Keanu’s newly re-established coolness. All they need now is a decent script, something they admittedly haven’t had access to since the first episode. ::)

I’m cautiously optimistic about this project.

Got a pair of these around new year and the fit was really badly off from the start, mostly due to the combination of highish rise and large waist for the tag size. I briefly considered my options but quickly faced the facts and ended up doing the only sensible thing.

Looking back, I’m really glad I decided to get (further) out of shape as there’s nothing like a few layers of belly fat to fill up the waistline on highish rise jeans! The fit is now much better and I wear these to work on most days when I can get away with it.

ˆI literally lol’d at that.

That’s a cool idea in general, for a theme-day perhaps: dress as another forum member. I could pull off a mean @AdamJ but that’s about it (plus I’m way less cool).

Regards,

Casual Observer

@AdamJ:

I must mention the idea of a SBG CPO at least one a week in the office. As do I look at the IHSH-08sbg product page hoping it'll re-appear!

Keep fighting the good fight!

@brobles:

Giving the whole thing a pinkish hue.

• Is there a pinkish hue?

• A pinkish hue?

• Yeah, a rosy glow.

• There's a hue.

Good-looking pair of jeans, that.
