Thanks @neph93. That seems like a good suggestion. I don’t really want to get rid of the Momotaro 10th anniversary jeans or the Roy Peanut jeans. These also happen to be cuts with a generous top block which means I just need to reduce the waist.

Good day all,

I find myself in a situation that maybe some of you are or were in. The work from home/lockdown year has added some pounds back that I had lost about seven years ago and I find myself with several pairs of jeans in my closet that no longer fit (some only by a little and some by a lot). I am working on losing the pounds again but I’m not sure it will get me back into the jeans. It seems that the weight was added in my hips, thighs, and love handles, which might be hard for me to target and are the areas most crucial when it comes to jeans fitting comfortably. So, do I keep the jeans (a mix of IH, PBJ, Momotaro, Naked & Famous, JB, and Gustin with some being limited production or anniversary make ups) and see where I am at in six months or sell them. If I sell them would the forum be a good place? eBay? Someplace else?

I know I am not a frequent poster but I have lurked for quite a while. I appreciate any thoughts or experiences folks are willing to share.

Cheers.

I’m considering getting one of these in olive. I’m curious to see how they age. A quick glance didn’t seem to give any progression photos. What does it look like after two or three years of wear and say 15-20 washes? I’ve got a couple of vintage authentic military issue M65 jackets off ebay and really love how they have aged and would hope these age well.

@madmonday:

@jbreitenbucher you have sold me on this hoodie, i admire your fit

Thanks. Love it more each time I wear it.

Anyone have a guess on how sizing compares to Alden Truebalance? I wear a 9.5 in the Indy and am between a 10D and 10.5D on  Brannock. I’ve never really owned any boots in a style like this.

Will do. Thanks.

What sizing recommendation for someone between a 34 and 36 with a waist closer to 35?

Thanks for the confirmation.

Just got mine. Went with a M. What do we think? Stay with M or go L? The sleeves hit right at the base of my thumb, the length hits right at the top of the front and back pockets, and it doesn’t feel tight anywhere (maybe just snug in the shoulders and neck opening when slipping it over my mellon).

Paired here with my IH-666S-18

Thanks @neph93 and @Giles I didn't know if members really wanted try and keep the sales to primarily denim and IH. I'll get organized and post things.

Hello all,

I'm new to IH but not raw denim and menswear. I'm looking for some advice on the best place to sell menswear (Harris Tweed sportcoats, vintage leather jackets, Gustin jeans, RW Beckman, Barbour jackets) online. I don't have a lot, maybe 10-12 items. I'm not so fortunate to have a menswear consignment shop near me here in rural Ohio. Also happy for any advice experienced sellers want to offer. Thanks.

Hello. Just received my first pair of IH. With the help of Sam I ended up with a pair of 666S-18. I think the fit is great…

Congratulations, welcome and hell yes, that's a great fit. Also good luck with new denim and white Chucks [emoji28]

Haha, yeah, these are my dirty Chucks for wearing with jeans that I don't cuff above the ankle.
