Ordered! I have a strong feeling that it’ll be too warm for the next few months, but I think it’ll be a great alternative to a flannel in the fall and winter.
And it’ll probably be good for cool summer evenings as well.

I bought these last year. I think I posted about the West Point shorts, but honestly, these are even better. Best shorts ever - the fit is very good for me, and the pockets are brilliant.
I especially like the large hip pockets. They hold a lot, which is particularly useful on vacations - I have children, they always want me to care their stuff around - yet when empty they lie fairly flat, meaning the shorts still look nice.
I really look forward to warmer weather.
So I’ve been using these for a few weeks now, and they live up to my expectations. Great chinos.
My only worry is that bicycling (which is how I get to work) seems to put a lot of strain on the crotch area. I guess it is inevitable given the tight fit and the lack of stretch in the fabric. I’ll probably wait before picking up another pair until I see if these blow up prematurely.
Unless of course they make a pair in burgundy. I’d buy those straight away.
I picked up a pair at Brund yesterday. I have an obsession with khaki chinos - I wear them to work quite a lot, and have about four pairs in use already.
I sized up from my usual size 34, and the fit seems spot on. I’ll obviously need to get them hemmed, though.
First impression is that the fabric is very good - should last I lot longer than the other ones I have (all different brands). At the same time they aren’t a lot heavier, and they are definitely “smart” enough for my needs.
If they hold up as expected I could see IH chinos gradually replacing all the others.
My first Relove.
Great shirt. I like the UHF a little better when it comes to fit (they are al little bit shorter), but the measurements on this one were close to perfect, and I really like the looks and the feel of the fabric.
Thanks to whoever broke it in for me.
Brilliant, Graeme. They have the slightly more rugged look I was after.
Thanks!
Great suggestions. Thanks. The Isofrane is really functional, which I like. The Seiko one is more subdued, which could also work.
It’s a bit of a jungle, a lot of producers give very little information about the rubber they use.
Ok, so I found the right thread.
I just received my first diver:
I think it is a beautiful watch, and based on the first 24 hours I’ve been
reasonably lucky with precision as well.
I haven’t had luck with straps though. I think the stock bracelet is ok, but I’m looking for a good rubber strap and a nato/zulu as well. I have a couple of natos from a Danish website, they are a little disappointing. They are comfortable enough, but the nylon is very shiny, I think I would prefer something a bit more textured.
Any recommendations for straps? Preferably from an EU vendor, but I’m willing to compromise if I can get better options outside the EU.
These are great! They (obviously) feel sturdy, but are definitely lightweight. They wear like proper pants. The stuff in the pockets stay in the pockets and they are quite long, so they don’t make you look like you’re on camping.
Only (very minor) gripe is that they seem to attract cat hair. But that’s manageable.
Thanks. It turns out my app only converts the whole number (Converting 30 inches instead of 30.7).
The measurements seem a bit long - and it seems that the length measurements differ in inches and centimeters (see the XXL), at least if my converter app is correct?
Apart from the leather is this different from the calf folding wallet? Based on the pictures the designs look similar.
Does anyone know if there is a restock coming? These are sold out in 34, and I would really like to get my hands on a pair.
Granted. It is indeed a unique design.
But thanks for pointing me towards the 634. I did some more snooping around, and I actually think the 633 may be what I’m looking for. Unfortunately it is sold out from Selfedge.
I’m thinking 555, but I can’t really figure out how much the narrow thighs change the feel of the top block?
777. The work pant top block is based on the 634 and the 777 top block is much closer to the 634 than the 555.
Sorry, I missed the reply, Neph.
Now that is a surprise - when looking at the numbers I thought front and back rises were a lot closer to the 555. My problem is that I don’t have the opportunity to try on the 555. I love the look of the 777, and I have two pairs, but these get more wear, simply because I have more mobility in them, partly due to the low back rise, partly because of the more restrictive top block.
Picked this up yesterday at Brund in Copenhagen. It is my first heavy flannel, and actually my first shirt ever in this style.
While my wife is very sceptical of the “lumberjack-look” - saying that it reminds her of her brother being grunge in the nineties - she did reluctantly admit that it could be worse, and the fabric seems nice.
I knew she’d say that, and I’m just a really happy about look, fit and feel. I think it’ll get a lot of wear as a top layer during the summer (especially in the evenings), less hot and more wind resistant than a wool sweater, and way better looking than a technical fleece.
Thanks. I went with something else (Carhartt WIP), but I might go for these well. Decions….
These have become my go-to jeans. They are just extraordinarily comfortable and very hard wearing as well.
Ideally I’d like a pair of jeans with a similar top block, but tighter legs - especially below the knee. But if the top block is the most important part which IH cut would be the closest one? I’m thinking 555, but I can’t really figure out how much the narrow thighs change the feel of the top block?
Any idea about when these will restock in 35?
