Things That Make People Stop and Ask

Getting slagged for spending a chunk of change on jeans is quite vexatious really. I mean, the same person dissing you for frivolous denim purchases probably wont think twice about spending the same on: bullshit car modifications/nose candy/shoes made from string and chinese childrens tears/lifestyle groceries - delete as applicable.
As they say around these parts - jog on tosser.

My apologies for "forking", as they say in Computer Science (starting a new topic within a topic). But hectic, I so-o agree with you. I don't even bother responding to these nay-sayers. I don't spend $$ on vacations (the London/Paris trip was a gift from Mom), eating out, drinking, facials, spas, makeup, redecorating, cars, bikes, etc…You get the idea. Aside from IH, I live a pretty humble life !

Almost always it's one of my many jackets that draw the comments mostly good, a minimal number of times ridicule and quite often awe.

People have been proposing marriage over my new IHSH-08 Black Denim Western Shirt and IHSH-17 Lined Chambray Western Shirt. Seriously, I'm complimented constantly when I wear these [and I've been wearing NOTHING BUT these 2 shirts since I've received them….I alternate between them, day in, day out -- this is ridiculous so I bought two more IH shirts yesterday] ! People always stop to touch and feel the shirts. It's a bit awkward at times but these shirts are so striking that people can't help but notice ! A colleague of mine started "feeling me" in the middle of the company cafeteria yesterday, like, in front of the executives – it was totally innocent but his hands couldn't help it, he wasn't even aware he was doing it ! He was ooh-ing and aah-ing over the IHSH-08 Black Western shirt ! Guess who this guy was ? "Greg" of dragginjeans lore ! I told him, Greg, if you want this quality and beauty on YOUR body, you gotta pay for it man !

I get a lot of questions and comments when I whip out my 12 yr old S.T. DUPON 'FIDELIO' fountain pen. Bought it for ~100 € when a local store went out of biz. It's worth about 350-450 €… Getting a new point for this (just the golden tip of the pen), costs 190 €... I had to get a new ink pump for it as my original one started leaking, but since then I just started using cartridges again. Much safer at work. I absolutely love it. Black ink btw, of course.

Just received a compliment on my IHW-01 while I was procuring medicine at the local dispensary. They guy who complimented it said "Man, I didn't know Iron Heart made Wool?"
I believe Giles said no more runs of the superblack western shirts. Bummer ! I know lots of customers would grab em if another run were available. Giles, can you convince Haraki San ?
