@Kasi Thanks for the shout-out and pat on the back! Thanks for having me signed up. You're the first step towards my IH journey! #Gratitude #Support #Journey #Milestone

My first RB pair ever .. RB 3025 Polarized // 5514 // Gunmetal // blue //

@Mizmazzle thanks for having me here.
I believe God has been kind to me all day. First, he sent @Kasi in my life. GOD did not stop there, he sent an IH 777-XHS 25 oz[can u imagine being it your ist pair of IH, i wouldn't in a million years) in my way and guess who had it?
U r right, it was @Kasi. He sold me and helped me buy a great pair of IH at a great price. He threw in some "heavy-extras" in and after the deal to sweaten it outta his heart. He is at pro level. I need not only unlimited years, plus one more life to even match him. Thanks to him, I know about Haraki, Giles and Shane .. All in one day. May God bless him with health and wealth. He has been patient with me all day.

@T4920 I do wanna say we met on tinder where he swiped-right on me. I dont know right jargon these days. Or what gen z and alpha call it.
All jokes aside, he was a God-send. I had posted on a fb group where I wanted to buy a pair of IH jeans. Since they are costly and I don't earn in dollars or Sterling pounds, so used one was a great option for me. LIKE rest of the protein-dudes, I fell for my passion. He texted me on Fb saying he had a pair he wanted to sell. One thing led to another like normally it happens in life or somewhere else, not sure !! :), we got to talking, he turned out to be my part country-fellow, somewhat city fellow as well from Pakistan. He might not be expecting a random Pakistani guy into IH JEANS AND OH boy, the balls on him .. he did politely ask me about it like how I knew IH. I told him there was more to me than met the eye. He was kind enough to.play along. When a man like him hangs out with Harashi (brand owner), Giles[ brit owner] and Shane [ German owner], u don't let that guy go. U stick to him or Even by him.
Anyhow, along our chatting, i got to offend him, as a gentleman he his, he let that slide and understood well.
So, we talked and talked, he told and showed me his experiences, his journey and all the perks along the ride. He still did not tell me.what he do for a living and how is he in the same room as those Japanese denim brand owners. I m sure does well what he does.
So in inclusion, i bought my first pair off him. He was kind enough to sort out shipping and payment details.

Though I live in Pakistan, like every tragic movie, the lady runs off to Canada and then comes to u
So my pair from the Brexit-clad-UK is bound for Canada and then to Pakistan to her ultimate lover. Let's see how, long it takes from C to P.
I don't know how it got so long. It's worth telling.
PS: he did not ask me to write all this...


PSS: take jokes as jokes, y'all !!

Let’s take it back to the roots with a modern twist: Ray-Ban & B&L

Drop your RB shades—modern era or timeless classics. I’ll start with the Lenny Kravitz x Aviator Reverse RBR0101S 002/GR 59-11. Unlike traditional convex lenses, this design flips the game with concave lenses, hence the name "Aviator Reverse."

We’ve all seen Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986) rocking Levi’s jeans and Ray-Ban RB3025 Gold/Green Aviators—and let’s be honest, he looked damn good. Whether it was the iconic shirtless beach volleyball scene or tearing down the highway on his bike, those shades became a piece of cinematic history. And guess what? That legacy still lives on today.

PS: This is a subjective discussion—Mind over Matter! !

@Kasi i am speechless.. i don't know what to say.
Congrats, keep rocking and keep surprising us ..
It's mouton collar is worth 2-IH JEANS FOR ME, LET ALone buy this piece of craftsmanship.
BRAVO, GOOD LUCK explaining this splurge to the wife. It's worse than cheating

@Kasi Thanks for your kind words and sheer-confidence in me.

@Kasi u won't stop even after TFH TYPE 3 .. THIS POISON feeds on keep buying stuff .. at some.point, it comes down to following reasons:
" i had to",
' if I won't buy, who.will? "
" this bady-baby needs a new home '
" price was a bit steep, but nothing I can't afford '
" ladies deserve some eye-candy"
" I am getting old, if not NOW, when the hell when"
" my kidz moved out .. this will stay with me forever "
" I m keeping small-businesses alive "
" cars need/have more horses than jackets "
" my family forgot my birthday, I m just gonna treat myself"
Best reason " I can and I want to "
2nd best " screw logic, I ain't gonna live forever "

@labrat thanks gentleman!! I feel honored to be here.

Midnight blue or blueish-black, I hope the the camera does justice in capturing the color of blue in the light, and dark in no light ..
[Cheap] Copied Tom Cruise's look from MI: 4 or around that time ..

I believe i still have the Tux resting in my wardrobe .. not bad after 13 years and counting .. I guess I have all the suits with me. The grey one was bought in 2022. For me, years matter as I develop a materialistic-co-ordinate covalent bond with my items .. hard to give them away especially when they still fit ..

In formal suits over the years ..
Looks don't stay forever..
Black tux from 2012 ..
Copied Brad Pitt look from 2012 Golden globes ..
It was supposed to be a one-button jacket like Brad's, but the tailor gifted me with two, and one broke on the event day! Had to sew it up with a friend's help and then attended. #Jacket #Tailor #Event #Friends #FashionFail

The other black 2-piece suit is from Next. Bought in 2012. Still has it ..
Worn again in 2022 on an event, as seen in the last pictures with white shirt.

@DeeDee85 your avid-curiosity is much h appreciated. I can't thank everyone enough for their zealous support, spoken or behind-the-scenes ..
#MuchAppreciated

@northsouthdenimguy said in Ray-Ban Owners Club: Flex Your Frames :

I imagine I’m not alone…This is probably one of my favorite topics/almost daily photo journal

thanks for your appreciation and moral support .. it's not all about me. I wanna see yours and anyone else who is gracing this thread.

Little insight ..
TomCruise is why I fell in love with Levi's in 2007 when I saw him wear Levi's Jeans in Risky Business (1983) and then RB Aviator in Top Gun (1986).

I feel the need… the need for speed!
Son, your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash.
It seems to me that if there were any logic to our language, trust would be a four-letter word.

not as good as him .. but still ..
If it’s good enough for Top Gun, it’s good enough for me. ️ #MaverickVibes

I m.not comparing IH and N&F .. IH IS TOP-notch, best of the best ..
The thing i love about them is that they experiment with fabric and dyeing a lot.
They wanna be creative, innovative, and do what no one has done it. I like such traits about them. They put a lot of effort in R&D, keeping traditional methods alive with modern touch.

You don't have to like them.

WHEN Japanese take on a trade, they master it. no one beats them to craftsmanship and passion for producing jeans. Thanks to them, we get to wear selvedge jeans still in 2025 and many more years to come.

ALL HAVE CONTRIBUTED A LOT IN THIS INDUSTRY AND keeping sub-culture of selvedge denim alive.

#Respect

@Kasi .. today marks one month of joining this forum ..
All credit goes to you. Here, I feel more inclusive than anywhere. ️🫂

James bond wore a N&F pair in one of the movies .. no time to die (2021) ..
Stretch selvedge [most probably] or dirty fade selvedge.
They deserve some credit.
Mo, u hate everything which is not IH, FC, TFH and Buco and GAH ..
