Yes agreed, I like to know why things are happening when it comes to these clothes and their characteristics.

I had never heard of the indigo bonding poorly to cotton and that's what's creates fades and then also gets the transfer dye out easier.

I usually take a deep dive on new hobbies so this is all great knowledge.

Next purchase is a wabash vest so I'm currently reading through that thread!

I'm just starting to see the light blue peaking through in in some areas. Looking for excuses to wear it around work!

@Oaktavia Those pics have inspired me to dig mine out and start wearing it hard tomorrow! Its been in the closet way too long this year!

Great looking boots @Lowlander. Love the "lace to toe" look. I have a pair coming from Indonesia I'm hoping they look half this good!

The Denim is great too, looking forward to getting some wear on mine now the temperature has dropped a good bit here.

Hi guys so I'd like this to be one of my next purchases from IH.

I wear a medium in IH shirts and I'm thinking I should get a medium in this vest. For reference I'm 5'7" and about 160lbs.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Thanks for those videos @pechelman. Its gives a great view of the fit.

I'm on the hunt for an IH vest but of course where I was just interested in one… now I'm well down the rabbit hole and looking at many more!

I don't think the 20 post limit is too much and I am pretty new here. I have bought about 6 shirts and a Jacket, I am actually finding myself looking forward to posting some fade or even fit pics in the future.

This really is a great forum for advice and even "window shopping" to name but a few things.

The small post limit to access the Marketplace ain't that bad in the grand scheme of things.

Thanks man, this is all great info that I will put to use.

Thanks for the replies!

Oh that's good to know about the wash. Do you just do a cold wash with mild detergent or pre treat with something?

Luckily our couch is a denim blue type color!

I was aware of the crocking on boots, that doesn't bother me at all really, In fact the next boot to go on under these is the Muleskinner Iron Rangers so I'm sure the crocking on those will get crazy.

Ok understood! I'll just have to be more conscious of what I wear them with, I made the mistake of wearing them with my IH white wabash shirt over the weekend, I don't know what I was thinking on that one! Lesson learned!
(It did look good though).
