Just for research purposes, what color solid UHF's are coming? Charcoal and Maroon, both in CPOs and Westerns. They'll be Giles exclusives so no Rakuten unless you work a little Mihara magic.   |

how long did it take for yours to reach MN? I placed the order midday on October 27. I got an email from Mihara that evening around 9:00 confirming the order and making sure I was OK with the ~$30 shipping. They got to Chicago customs October 29 and there was an attempted delivery to my house yesterday (November 1). You have to sign for it and I wasn't home, so I picked it up at the post office this morning (November 2). So, 5-6 days. Not too shabby. Really glad you are happy with your purchase. It's tough buying a shirt this pricey from overseas with no chance at returns! What was the total price to the door? |

Given its heft, I think that's a very reasonable price. I wouldn't hesitate to spend that on a jacket and this definitely is on that spectrum. Really glad I got it. The sizing thing was a little nervewracking, but it worked out great. |

I answered Gaseous's question halfway guessing--having bundled and used points--so I wanted to double check how off base my $220 answer was. |

SE has 9 XL's in stock. same price too. But, I know Ickes had previously had a so-so experience with SE in the past. On a side note, I caved and ordered the 130 grey/black ombre from RB thanks to you enabling bastards  you can't go wrong with that shirt, you will love it. Great choice. |

I picked up my black 155 this morning from the post office. My first IH piece. OK. Now I get it. These shirts are over the top in every way. The color, more of a charcoal, is great. The fabric is super burly, but super soft, especially on the inside. The fit is outstanding. Clearly, I don't have any other shirts that are as heavy, but even those in the 5-7 oz. range (what I would have called heavy before I got this shirt) don't fit me nearly as well. I'm at work now, looking forward to getting home so I can put it on. What I am not entirely sure of is how much more IH stuff I'll buy. As I said, most IH stuff is not something I could wear to work, so this shirt will fill a very particular niche for me (weekends in fall/winter/spring). I don't have that collector spirit as much as some others on this forum, but we'll see. The 129 could sway me. Either way, thanks to all who brought this brand to my attention. I'm very happy I picked it up. Awesome man. Glad it worked out for you. Enjoy it. |

Cool, man. Let us know what your first impressions are--fit, material, construction--then when you're done placing your next order for the 127v2 in purple, let us know if the hype was warranted i'll chime in with fit/material/construction feedback once it arrives. I have yet to read any negative reviews of IH shirts, so this will all be new to me. If everything checks out I think this will be the start of a new addiction and it may be difficult for me to try other brands. as for the 127vs in purple, I honestly don't know if I can do purple, but that's because I live in Minnesota and purple is associated with the MN Vikings and Prince. I really do like the 129 in both colorways. I could be swayed to buy one of them if SE has another sale. The 129's ARE that good. If not purple, then GREEN it is! (jk) But in all seriousness the buffalo check is MANLY as feck, so bold at times, it comes across as gaudy. They are attention grabbers without straying too far from tradition. |

I like both colorways on SE. Interesting that self edge doesn't mention the skewed fabric in the description. |

I like both colorways on SE. They are both great. I opted for the green when I bought mine but I'm still looking to get the blue |

The 155's have landed and they are great. IH kills it once again. I like the black much better in person as its more of a charcoal as others have said and the green is just subtle enough to notice but not a real bright lime green like some the pics look. The blue is awesome as well and just as expected although it has a little more of a subtle, washed out, vintage look than I was anticipating.
The fit on these are damn near perfect. I went with my usual XL and it's spot on. If you're on the fence I wouldn't hesitate to snag one off of RB. Great price for the amount of shirt you are getting.
IH is killing it this season.
