Doesn't get any better than XHS armour! Enjoy!

Very nice pics! I must admit it took me too long to realize the flag in the last pic says simply EXTRA HEAVY DENIM. I thought it was some sort of anagram first.

Many nails have been disappearing towards the end but big Congrats to Norwich! And @Winchy ;)!

I also like the J1 Chicago Low. Classy footwear.

They are definitely keepers. The duck can be beaten into submission but it will take a while. Wear and washes will help making them settle.

Amazing how Pokemon is still a thing after so many years. When I was a young kid at school we also traded cards. It was the first generation, though, with the first 150 (?) Pokemons. Don't know a thing about what came after but I've seen they've been adding more and more monsters every time. They're really milking this franchise for sure.

@Seul:

Looks like an Australian prison walking court…

The Gosport Redemption

Have fun everyone!

This year's iPhones feel like another S-update with some improvements but with the same design overall. Not bad but also nothing special. Next year will be pretty interesting because Apple will (most likely) adopt 5G, USB-C, a new design and new form factors. Should be a neat package.

Thanks, @AdamJ! Excellent timing 8).

@gaseousclay I was surprised, too, but I applied it on all my leather shoes/sneakers/belts etc. and didn't spare anything. So even the 16 oz bottle was empty pretty quickly. The stuff is that amazing! I then bought the 8 oz bottle but it's aleady hollow so I will need a refill soon.

@Max:

Let's just use the (red or other coloured) w on the pockets, like on the SH-38

Great idea! The red W is a far better and subtle branding detail on the shirts than the tag. It is unique to IH and it would look not only great but also distinct it from everyone else who uses a tag on their shirts (e.g. two other companies that start with an L). Red W instead of the tag has definitely my vote.

It was the Beeswax version and I gave up on it and ordered a suede one (Cola). The quality is much better than on the previous shoes, not amazingly great as there are some minor scuffs here and there but definitely worth keeping them. I've also snagged them for a good price so I'm sticking with them and will look out for suede ones only in the future. Regarding sizing I'm usually a US10.5 (EUR44) and googled how to size on them. The guys at Snake Oil Provisions stock them and recommend a half size down or the same size as one would wear in Converse. Since I'm a US10 in my Converse 70s I went for the US10 in the Wallabees and they fit like a glove.

IH-GARY killin' it the whole week!

Darn it! I missed the last bottle! Do we know when the restock will happen?

One more vote for lowering the rear rise on the 888.

Stunning stuff (esp. the Type IIIs)!

I personally prefer loopwheeled stuff without any side seams as it adds to the aesthetics of any item and also to the comfort. Not many do loopwheeled stuff but everyone does side seams, so I'm also not a fan of loopwheeled items that do have side seams like everything else despite being made in the difficult manufacturing process. The fabric might be nice but deprived of one of its biggest benefits: the tubular construction.
I also tried this jumper in grey and although the fit was pretty decent and the fabric nice I wasn't feeling it overall (especially the seams - not only on the sides). It was an XXL and at that time I had another heavy loopwheeled sweater from SDA in XL to compare against. The XL had bigger measurements (chest, length etc.), a softer yet heavier feel and no side seams. EDIT: There was the IHSW-06 once which was made of the heavy Wakayama loopwheeled fleece and it went up to XL with no side seams.
Another point is that there have been already quite heavy 5,5 oz Triple Works T-Shirts that went up to XXL and had no side seams in all sizes (e.g. TWT-1401, TWT-1402 & TWT-1403). Would've loved to have the IHT-1610 without any side seams in every size (although I'm wearing an L that has no side seams in them).

It's like a new Freelander but with a different name. I think the old Defenders will skyrocket in value now.

@Giles:

This will be a constant product.

This is very good news! The mills will be happy, too.

Damn, that's fast! If the Westerns arrive this soon as well I will have to pass on this year's buffalo stampede…
