RE: Under The Radar Classics
I'm putting my vote in for the IH-803-WH. I'm guessing they're considered under since I've read that white (in general, minus tees) don't usually sell terribly great. Well I love there's pants! The double knee gives them a subtle difference from regular pants. And the color with generous fit makes them good for warmer weather: twas 98 in Seattle on Sunday (which is HOT for us! Broke a record) and these performed fine.

RE: IHJ-32 - 17oz Brown Cotton Duck Type II Jacket
Update on my Grailed IHJ-32: I would say quite a success and I'm very happy! As I said above, this should fill a good hole (which I didn't know existed until I saw this coat lol) in my jacket collection. Arm cuff openings are a tad on the larger side, but I can get around that. I do like the smaller waist opening tho, as I always keep the bottom button undone, even if I have the other done. Condition is great; as you can see from pics there was some honey combing on the arms. I cold washed/medium heat dryed this since it was preowned and I think that gave some of the stress points (see pocket pic) a tab more of a "fade". Not sure how long the previous owner had it but they didn't wear it out by any means, it's aged great and has loads more life (of course). Cheers!

RE: IHSH-07-IND - Hickory Stripe Western Shirt - Navy
Thanks @Alex : so same material, just different proportions of blue to white? Yea, I see that the 91 is extinct BUT that workshirt w/ snaps is soooo unique! Bring it back?

RE: IHSH-07-IND - Hickory Stripe Western Shirt - Navy
Q for those that have both or have handled both: this versus IHSH-91?

RE: IHJ-32 - 17oz Brown Cotton Duck Type II Jacket
Got it off of Grailed. Guy selling it said he really liked it but rarely wore it due to being too small. Wasn't necessarily in the market, but couldn't resist the more I thought about it.

RE: IHJ-32 - 17oz Brown Cotton Duck Type II Jacket
How does the tag size correlate to the size chart? Is a tagged 36 an XS and then goes from there 38 S, 40 M, etc?

RE: WAKE UP AND COFFEE
Do you have a favorite coffee roaster/supplier?
Well roaster in Seattle: I love Cafe Vita and Umbria. And honestly being in the home of Sbux we usually get all the test stores and their higher end stores have some great and interesting roasts/coffees. More regional PNW I really enjoy Stumptown. Whenever my wife and I travel we drink/try lots of coffee and one that I always think about is Flat Track in Austin, TX. They had this amazing blond/light roast when we went. They can also pull a mean shot.
But with being WFH for months now I definitely am going through more of my personal coffee real quick. So I am taking advantage of large Sbux bags from Costco. I would go broke buying 10oz artisan bags only lol. -

RE: PS-RKK - GOOD ART HLYWD Rosette Knick Knack - Sterling Silver
Very good "pendant", especially if you aren't really into dangley pendants. I do prefer mine on a #3 chain.

RE: Introduce Yourself Here
Hi All!
Lurked around for a minute after my first IH purchase a few months back and decided to introduce myself. I live in Seattle w/ my wife and pup and I do taxes (I know, I know…) for a large local company. I grew up a military brat, but WA state has been home for some time and I'm sure I'll die here.
My journey to IH: after college, maybe around 2008ish, (Go Cougs!) I set out to intentionally buy made in USA clothes, whenever I could. This kind of led me to heritage/workwear inspired brands. But back then I also had a lot of American Apparel clothes lol. I eventually heard the saying "Japan does America better than America". I was intrigued and started perusing the Japanese fashion mags at Kinokuniya bookstore here for more made in USA brands, oddly enough.... I was also led to the book Ametora, which is a great read. A few years back I got into Japanese brands finally. Now that I'm in a better financial situation I've been slowly (granted, much more fast during lockdown) replacing any fast fashion, cheap, etc with higher quality, longer lasting items.
I have a few IH pieces now and I know my collection will grow. I also love Freenote, Filson (duh, being in Seattle), Merz and other Japanese brands for loopwheel. Quick, crappy pic below is me in my lovely ihsw-41 and my AMAZING ih-803-wh. I love these pants! When not in my house slippers I'm usually rocking Birks, Vans or RWs. I also just picked up a fantastic pair of lefty 634s from the outlet. So another thing that brought me to IH was the abundance of wider fits. I love my heavy tapers (Freenote!) for my big thighs but I just want some wide fits also! And while my Dickies 874s are great, they don't age particularly well and can get a little stale looking in my wardrobe. Phew, sorry for the life story...but excited to be here and to have this forum as an excellent resource!
Thanks all! -Kenny
