I haven’t been around here much recently, but thought I’d post these since I think they’re ready for retirement (the repairs have repairs, which also have repairs). Particularly love the roping on these. Hope everyone is well!

Oops

@CosmoSix5 do indigo stains make them any cooler? I think crocs are the footwear of equivalent of crack - absolutely repugnant if you’ve never tried it, but once you give it a go…

@chillmonroe I’ve been playing for about 20 years, mostly metal. I’ve recently gotten into bluegrass (hence the D-28) and have been working on Tony Rice’s version of Church Street Blues for the last couple of days. Bluegrass is hard

@goosehd

This just landed, too busy playing it to take loads of pictures. Might get some better shots later. It sounds amazing

Couple more snaps of the Adi top and EIR back

I’ll be on the domestic naughty list when that shows up

@seawolf

That’s my pair, think Giles has the same ones. Filthy introduced me to them I think

Hi all

New here from the Peak District just outside Manchester in the UK. Great to be here 

First pickup for ages, love it. Destined to be a battle vest

Yeah man typical for every top pretty much.

Ha! I feel ya man, gonna be very warm in my new jacket, but also potentially very hungry in a few weeks 

@Oaktavia thanks man, they look epicccc 

Sorry for the partial cross post, but this thing is badass

Amen dude, and hey it’s not about the gross cost it’s about value - and IH represents great value for me

Nice Steven! They’re looking great. I don’t know about you but I’ve found my pair really easy to break in compared to regular XHS, and already got a few ashy spots starting to show

@ARNC Lovely story Andrew and no doubt your Grandad would very much approve. I’m sure if anything (and especially being indigo dyed) yours will improve with age.

@Joberwocky Jason mate you know you want both. I thought I wanted the khaki but when I had a think about versatility, it had to be black. I’ll be honest, I didn’t do any measuring, just went with the XL. Hoping it works out a treat. I did refrain from GA pimping in case the sizing isn’t right, but may revisit that.

The 19 lefty shrinks like crazy too dude, so hopefully they turn out spot on. The comparison with XHS fills me with joy. Glad you like them!

EDIT - I AM WRONG 

This thing is the definition of luxury 

@Oaktavia hey Stevie

I’m about a month into a pair off 888-XHS. I’ve been following your XHSib/UHR project, very cool ‍

@Joberwocky:

@LewisStonehouse  looks GREAT man, fit appears to be spot on!  Jealous friend, jealous….

I take it your pleased with the length and layer-ability (technical term)?  Looks right to me

Thanks you dude. Yeah super pleased with the fit, works with a hoody or UHF underneath or with just a tee. Absolutely top tier bit of kit
