Finally got the motivation to grab my camera and light to take a self portrait. The IHSH-348-GRN definitely added the color I was looking for. Yes, it's summer. Yes, the A/C was on

This is what I get for browsing the outlet . Sometimes you can escape unscathed. Other times... This

Between seeing japanalogue's posts on Instagram and @roxrocks86's nudging, I finally pulled the trigger.

It definitely got my attention when it was first released. I just couldn't at the time. But the more I saw it, the more I couldn't escape!

Can't wait to break it in while I can, before it really gets hot.

Didn't hurt that I had Mikey's patches stacked either!

Just wanted to give a quick update on my pair.

After the Y2 Indigo Invitational, this has gotten some wear here and there.

Love the reminder from @denim-dawg on IG!

around 100 days left, give or take.

I'm currently using this Tanner Goods card holder. I can keep it in my front pocket and not worry about where it is.

Now this wallet... I love it, but sometimes it's a bit much to use. The Tanuki Shell Cordovan long wallet.

If I sit for a long period of time, I have to remove it from the back pocket.

I don't see myself ever getting rid of it. It's pretty rare you see a wallet made of shell cordovan inside and outside.

Despite what I've said about my long wallet, I have my eye on a Redmoon long wallet . Something to go along with my Y4 indigo invitational denim.

Mail call was definitely good today. This came as part of my stacked order.

These were awesome and I just couldn't pass them up.

The black patch will be for a future IH type II jacket.

Had to get the bibs patch. Never say never. If the day ever comes that I get bibs, I'll be happy to put the patch on!

Until then, a Mickey's or an awesome beer for Mike

I'm not sure if this is remotely feasible, or even talked about... but how about 21oz slub denim?

Favorite shirt: Has to be the IHSH-335-BLK. I saw a preview of it when Giles, Alex, and company were at Good Art early in 2022. That fabric was love at first sight and feel.

The weather has cooled and I'm glad to be wearing it every chance I get . It's such a great, and substantial, feeling flannel.

Favorite denim: At the moment, has to be my Y2 invititional pair, the PIH10ANS. I basically took over that thread with monthly updates.

Love how they've faded and I still wear them fairly often. Heck, I just got them back from repair. I believe @JoshC handled my repairs, so thank you!!! Nicely done, especially the front pocket

This was a fun and informative listen. Heard of the brand, but never about the person behind it. Would definitely like to try and own a pair of their denim one of these days.

@Jett129 Probably Chris Cole.

One of my icons, Mr Chris "Cobra" Cole:

Shoot, I need to dust mine off

@Danimal506 that's a beer I haven't had in ages.

@WhiskeySandwich Heck yes!!!! It's super similar to the one Tanner Goods sold once upon a time. I kind of want another one

But I love that nonetheless!

@scooter I figured I'd just sign up for the league anyways. If it happens, great! If not, oh darn.

@T4920 same for the bibs! I don't have any practical need for one, but they are intriguing and more of a want.

This is too good man!
