I have to mention in light of above responses, that I am not self-sabotaged the way some of you guys are, in that I need no beach clothing, nor do I need to differentiate between casual and professional attire

[goosehd]

…also, IH is sorely lacking in sleepwear. @endo Wouldn’t you agree

[neph93]

I'm getting older but not so old that I am willing to wear anything more than boxers to bed.

[endo]

I would @goosehd but since I spoke to H in Hamburg about this and he pretty clearly said ‚no‘ I‘m not so optimistic anymore. But you know … gotta fight for your right … for a decent PJ.

I think the inclusion of sweat shorts and pants in the offerings is about as close as you’ll ever get to pjs. I might add I think those are pretty good options for that purpose as long as you keep the ac cranked up in the summer.

I still HAVE clothes from other brands. But I don’t wear any of ‘em. Except for tee shirts, I pretty much exclusively wear IH at this point.

I have found myself totally converting my wardrobe over the last couple of years.
Bottoms, full IH. Flannels and shirts in general as well.
A far as 'quality' clothing is concerned, there's the occasional Merz tee and Andersen wool sweater, but that's about it. Oh and, jackets from other brands of course.

In the 'cheap' category nothing will replace my music/automotive t-shirts, though.

I’m also at about 90% all IH all the time. Just a smattering of items from other brands that ,as time goes on,get worn less and less.

I do plan on picking up a sweater when my wife and I head to Iceland this summer before Gosport. So there is that...maybe I'll get one with a puffin on it. The extras in a few Sigur Ros videos make me green with envy with sweater envy.

About sums me up as well

@Oaktavia I’m about the same as @goosehd it took me about two years to replace 90-95% of my wardrobe with IH. I have only IH jeans, shirts, shorts and jackets.. still have yet to submit to IH t-shirts, I love my UES slub tees and can’t see those going anywhere. I am about to order my first IH tee though so that could change

[WhiskeySandwich]

@sabergirl this is where I’m at too. I like my graphic tees for chopper and bmx brands. They’re all such small companies, gotta support them too. But tees to me are practically underwear too. So aside from tees, undies, and socks, all IH. Oh and my leather jacket. Still waiting for the IHxSB that’s gonna dethrone that….

and socks

You're definitely missing something there….

[WhiskeySandwich]

@tody I’d love to try some IH socks, but I go thru some socks bro. Dickies work socks only. lol.

[neph93]

@Oaktavia https://norlender.no/herrekolleksjon/island

This is the one.

[Oaktavia]

@DeeDee85 which shirts you lookin at? 6oz vs 7.5oz vs 11oz all quite different.

@neph93 those look so nice. I am really looking forward to choosing one in person.

[bluemantra]

@WhiskeySandwich I just got a pair of IH engineer socks and was really happy with the quality. I generally wear Darn Tough socks, but iron heart socks are just as if not better IMO.

[cityofdelusion]

Anyone who tried to starch soft denim (specifically: Sashiko) to make it stiff(er) and can share some instructions and insights based on their experience? I've read some of the relevant posts on the forum already, but I'm wondering if there are any specific/recent/easier/better methods without having to reinvent the wheel and possibly mess up something irreversibly.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@bluemantra ooh really?

[DeeDee85]

@Oaktavia I’m thinking the 6.5oz longer body cut in a navy and a dark grey to start with… I love the look of the 11oz but always feel it looks a little short in the body. Guess I need to try one on and find out?
