I'm enjoying a Mocha Java this morning. 85% Yemen 15% Java. I own and operate a very small roasting business. I bought an Aillio Bullet roaster a few years ago and I've been having a blast with it. I have over 2000 roasts on it now and it's hard for me to drink coffee from anyone else now. Fresh coffee makes all the difference...cheers.

RE: IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo PREVIOUSLY IH-555-01
Received them today and couldn't be happier...love this cut. Slim but not skinny and will make a fantastic option along with my 17oz 888 natural indigo. Anyone on the fence about these because they are listed as a "super slim" need not worry, these aren't skinny jeans. I'm assuming that most of us who are dropping $350+ on a pair of jeans are old enough to be at a point in their lives where that cost wont wreck our finances. Which also means...especially for us Americans...our skinny body days are a distant memory. lol I am in my mid 50's and I'm 6' tall and weight 200-205lbs. These 36" size fit perfectly, plenty of room in the top with a narrow leg that looks perfectly natural and not skinny. I hope this helps anyone on the fence for this cut. Now I'm off to decide which cut to get my black jeans in...lol

RE: Pictures of your Wescos!
Custom Johannes in desert rough out leather with platinum stitching. I got these for a steal a few years ago in their discount section. IIRC the were around $350. I contacted Wesco to inquire as to why they were in the discount section of their website and the guy on the phone was stunned when he couldn't find anything wrong with them. They are the finest stitched boots I've ever seen and I get compliments on them all the time.

RE: Sugar Cane
Big fan of Sugar Cane shirts. I don't have any of their bottoms so cannot comment on those, but their shirts are outstanding and are a solid value for their price. Here are three examples. The two short sleeve shirts are a tribute to the old uniforms that workers at Coca-cola used to wear. They are nice and roomy, which my 6' 200lb dad bod frame enjoys. lol The fabric is herringbone with nice texture. The long sleeve is a nice linen shirt with some very cool texture and variation in color.

RE: Samurai Jeans
Grabbed this today and also have my first IH flannel arriving via DHL later. This is their heavyweight flannel and it’s really nice. Not sure of the specifics of the weight…feels like 14oz give or take, it’s hefty but because it isn’t brushed doesn’t feel quite as heavy as my Freenote Bensons. The details are impressive and the finish is flawless. Really digging the colors as well.

RE: IH-888N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Natural Indigo
Just ordered a pair...this will be my first pair of IH jeans. Ordered a shirt and a pair of the ripstop cargos and was blown away by the quality and customer service. The shirt was just stunning in both looks and quality. The cargos were fantastic but my dumb ass got so excited when ordering that I forgot to add the hemming service...lol CS said no problem and sent me a return label and are currently hemming them for me. Kudos...you now have a customer for life.
I've been hesitant to order a pair of jeans because I'm in my mid 50's and I'm a school teacher. So breaking these in will be a bizarre experience for me. I also think the 17oz is a great option because the 21oz will just be too heavy for my lifestyle.

RE: Freenote Cloth
I'm a huge fan of Freenote Cloth shirts. I don't own any of their pants but their heavy flannels are fantastic. The Benson I have is really heavy and warm. They can be picked up on sale quite often which makes them a steal. They are an excellent value at full price but IIRC I picked this up for under $200 USD.... This pic was taken on a cold day here in Pennsylvania US and I was perfectly comfortable all day, even when riding horses.

RE: Fall / Winter 2024 - Pre Release Detail Videos
Bummer, I was hoping for a green flannel workshirt, the Ombre and/or Western cut just doesn't work for me. That darker, slubby looks nice though.

RE: IHSH-349-IND - 9oz Selvedge Ombré Check Work Shirt - Indigo
Got it today…yeah, this is sweet. Perfect fit, a tad long in the arms but nothing noticeable. Perfect everywhere else. I can definitely see what all the hype is around the IH flannel. Can’t wait for the weather to get a little colder so I can start wearing my flannels.

RE: UES Clothing MFG .CO.
Looks like the Amundsen is currently in stock and the Tri is due to restock at the end of Sept. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these but I hesitate because of my size. I have an Indigo heavy flannel in size 5 that fits perfectly fine but it looks like these are cut quite a bit trimmer. Anyone have any insight on this? Damn...it sucks to be a fat American. rofl

RE: IHSH-349-IND - 9oz Selvedge Ombré Check Work Shirt - Indigo
@Mister_Brue LOL Yeah...I know. But I'm not in a financial place where I can drop upwards of $400 on shirts so I have to wait and pick them up when they go on sale. And IH stuff rarely goes on significant sale like this...I paid about $275usd for this. which is also a stretch but wont get me murdered by my wife. lol I love all my other IH stuff so I'm sure this will be amazing.
As a funny note....I'm a teacher and one of my students liked a shirt I was wearing so they decided to look up Iron Heart when they say the IH badge on the shirt pocket. Needless to say, the class freaked out when they found out what I pay for my clothes. rofl.

RE: IHSH-349-IND - 9oz Selvedge Ombré Check Work Shirt - Indigo
Just picked this up on sale from Rivet and Hide, it's my first IH flannel. I have a bunch of other IH shirts, jeans, pants and a hoodie but for some reason the flannels have escaped me. I'm excited to see what the flannels offer, I'm sure it will be stunning like all their other stuff.

RE: IHSH-399-ORA - 12oz Slubby Heavy Flannel Check Western Shirt - Orange
I wish I could wear one of these Western flannels. They fit fine around the chest area but by the time they get to my waistline I look like 10lbs of potatoes in a 5lb sack. lol This is a killer color though.

RE: UES Clothing MFG .CO.
I grabbed a 14.5oz Indigo flannel from them last week. Wow...I was shocked at how nice it was. I'm a bigger guy 6' 205lb and the size 5 fits perfect with plenty of room like I prefer. 14.5oz is a really heavy fabric but it moves well and is extremely comfortable. I have plenty of IH gear but a heavy flannel has escaped me thus far so I can't give a direct apples to apples comparison between the two products. But I do have several heavy flannels from Freenote Cloth, Indigofera and Naked and Famous and I can say that it stacks up perfectly with FNC, IF and wipes the floor with Naked and Famous. For the price they cannot be beat and if you are fortunate enough to grab one on sale you would be foolish not to pick one up.
I did read in an earlier post that there was a concern with the length of their offerings. Again, I'm 6' tall and the size 5 has plenty of length for me and I prefer my flannels to be a bit oversized. YMMV
