Gang, I have seen the light. Day 1 in the 634s 21oz. I have never felt a better feeling denim.

Happy new year, everyone! Let’s go!

This is the best first post I could think to make for this thread. I’m having myself a great day! Picked up my first two pairs today. The guys at the Osaka store are incredibly nice, and so helpful.

The nickname “Black Armor” for the 9634 is legit. Just walked the dog out in the mid 30s(F) and the wind was not getting through this denim.

TS - indigo twill
634s 21oz

Long time listener. First time caller. First wear of one of my Japan pick ups.

21oz 9634z - they aren’t kidding when they call this “black armor”. Forgive the work from home slippers. lol.

Still warm t-shirt weather in NC, despite what the foliage says. Loving these 634s even more every day.

Got the black armor 9364z on in prep for this pending “snow storm” that is headed our way in NC.

Currently two sessions in with Steve Zimonvan (Remember Me Tattoo) on my back. So stoked with how it’s looking.

Figured this 1994 unissued Romanian fleck field shirt would pair well with the 9634. Unfortunately, it’s almost too warm here to wear it today.

Yesterday we went to a temple, in Kyoto, that was built in 731 with a beautiful moss garden. One of the highlights of the trip so far, and so incredibly peaceful. They limit the number of guests per day, and are only open for 2 hours to ensure its condition.

@weftyarn I’ll definitely keep trying to post. I’ll fully post when I get back and get my film scanned. Here’s a couple from Kyoto and Mt. Fuji from the Shinkansen ride from Tokyo to Kyoto.

I feel like I have to share our Christmas tradition. When my sister graduated high school and was off to college, my dad decided he no longer needed to do his traditional Christmas morning breakfast for us. He thought it would be better for us to hit up…you guessed it Waffle House. He passed away in 2009, 9 years after started doing that. Here I am prepping for my 24th Christmas breakfast at the WaHo. My wife said it’s the best tradition she could have ever imagined marrying into. It’s my favorite holiday tradition, for sure.

Finally got some recent-ish rolls back and scanned. This weekend the photo group I’m apart of did a field trip via Amtrak to Durham, NC for the day. Stoked to get the roll back from that. But, for now, here’s some fall goodness including a day trip down to north GA to see my best friend compete in a power lifting event. Color photos shot in the Leica M5 with Gold 200, and the b/w was on my Nikon point and shoot with Rollei RPX 400

First stop of the Japan trip was to this spot I’ve been dying to shoot. Shot with multiple cameras, just to make sure. Analog shot with Leica M5 and Cinestill 800t will have to wait until I process and scan, so here’s the one from my X100s.

Next session down on my back. Finished the snake today.

Here’s some of my favorites so far, that are on phone! All shot on my M5 with various film stocks including: Cinestill 400D, Fuji Xtra 400, Lomo 800, Kodak Gold 200

New bag day. Just poured my first cup with this and it’s great. My coffee subscription is quite possibly my favorite one.

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.

Here’s some recent favorites shot on a Leica M5 on various film stocks.
