Introduce Yourself Here
-
Hey gang. I realized I’ve been on this board for a good few months so far, and have not introduced myself. I got introduced to IH through my friends at Guilty Party, in Atlanta, on a work trip. (Sick name drop, I know). I haven’t made my first purchase yet, because I’m making my first trip to Japan and will be hitting at least the Osaka store, and maybe outside of Tokyo with time permitting.
I’ve been doing tons of research to find what will be the best cut for me, and will be heading home to Atlanta this weekend to hopefully trying a few different cuts at GP. I know the cuts/sizes will be a bit different from those in Japan, but hoping I can get an idea of what will fit my frame (5’8 and +/-155lbs). If there are any threads I should check out to help in my studies, please let me know.
As far as denim goes I’ve had: 14.5 oz Raleigh Denim from Cone Mills (from right here in Greensboro, NC) that lasted the better part of a decade, Wingman 14oz indigo, Levi 501 STF and a few others. But stoked to step to some heavy hitters soon. Really hoping to use this upcoming Japan trip to my advantage for Japanese denim, and hit all the shops I can.
Beyond denim, I’m a photographer (used to do it professionally, now it’s back to being my favorite thing), love lifting, getting tattooed, and traveling with my wife.
Aight. See y’all in the threads.

@alexxedge Welcome aboard. There’s some really cool photography on the Photography thread,especially Street Photography. Check it out.
-
@Jett129 right on. I’ll definitely check it out! Second best thing to shooting photos, is looking at photos.

@alexxedge nice to meet you and welcome among us mates, I'm Luigi

@alexxedge Welcome! Nice intro. Japan is awesome if you’re remotely into denim. Hit Kojima if you have time, but if not, the IH stores will probably be enough.
We came back with copious amounts! Take a spare bag… -
@Mister_Brue It’s my wife and I’s first time. We spent a bit of yesterday planning out the extra bag situation. We’re doing Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto as our mainstays with some day trips planned. I have a banger of a list for shops to check out. Just fingers crossed I’m able to find my size in the cuts I’m looking for. Either way, it’s going to be a blast.
-
@alexxedge Oh, you’ll definitely have a good time; I’m excited for you. We can’t wait to go back. I’d love to hear a bit about how you got on some time.
-
@Mister_Brue oh, I think I’ll have plenty of fun to share. Especially, when I get the film developed. If it’s allowed, I’ll make a Japan post, for sure.
-
@alexxedge Oh, it’s allowed!

@Mister_Brue Thank you, it’s nice to be here. I am 11 pieces of the fine IH clothing in and figured it was time to join the forum as i am sure we are all as passionate about the products as i have become, and find great topics here specific and general to each piece and each new release. Along with it being a very welcoming community with thoughtful and respectful members!

@les-l Truly, you have joined us a long way down the slippery slope.

@Luijim78 Thanks for introducing yourself Luigi, it’s a pleasure to meet you as well

Hi all,
I'm Olli from Helsinki, Finland. Been into the IH-game for a few years now, and slowly fallen in love with the brand and the exquisite products more and more. Have a few nice pieces already and increasing the inventory slowly but steadily!
Finally decided to join the forum, after being an avid reader for a while now. Mostly because I just purchased some UHR for the first time and have some serious questions about the break & wear process of these (but this is a topic for another thread).
Happy to be among you guys and share the love & passion for quality denim & clothing!
-Olli
