but, I would hold out on RC because they can always be had on sale. I don't think I paid full price for any of my RC stuff Great advice, thank you. I remember seeing them on sale online at the end of 15AW. Which size did you go with for the your sweatshirts from Reigning Champ?

Zipper?! They're not that heavy, what gives? These are very rigid vs their flagship 21 selvedge--maybe that was the thought process? my newb self probably didn't even notice they even had a Zipper when I bought 'em

Headed to B. Owl now to check out some stuff in person. Tanuki OutClass Reigning Champ Anything catch your guys' eyes let me know and I'll do some recon! Feel free to compare the VP flesh out and regular horse hide wallets for me. Also a general sense of how neppy the Tanuki idid are would be great. Damn, I forgot all about the wallets. That flesh out looks bad ass, too(online). Tanuki IxI is textured like a mofo. The sales associate was wearing a pair only 5 weeks out, that showed some high contrast, blatant fades already forming. Bumpy with visualized texture--great color. Reigning Champ Tiger fleece hoodie is super soft brushed on the inside. The Charcoal speckled one is on my short list. Fills a gap between my two 3sixteen heavy weights--black and grey Wings + Horns charcoal low tops are stellar looking--super clean lines

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.

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? It was 24,300 yen, so ~$235. 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. Thanks. 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.

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.

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.

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 Cool, man.

This will probably be the last of my purchases for this year based on what I can remember is coming down the pipeline. I might pick up a solid UHF...but can't think of anything I want until the new 129 comes. that being said there are some shirts I still want to get that have already been dropped....like that damn IndigoxIndigo 10oz western...can't remember the designation... IHSH-159 is the 10oz IxI 4 XL's left: www.ironheart.co.uk/shirting/ihsh-159.html

Size Ten for Vans and Adidas. These feel like 10.5 or 11 in Adidas.

The Rakuten prices for the 155 don't seem that great. I've had IH shirts for $150 from RB, which I thought was a decent deal. At $216 plus the $30 for shipping, it gets to be less of a good deal. UHF are on the pricier side of IH's shirts. RB still has IH shirts below $150 USD. I don't think the UHFs were ever much under $190 These shirts are under-priced, in my mind, for the quality/value you get. Style/Fit/Construction/Material on all 4 of those ^^ areas, IH is unmatched (in my mind)

oh that black M65 with the double zipper is a pretty little fella. It's a beast of a jacket, with a proper fit to back it up. I've seen a lot of M65's popping up on peoples backs around the city, but these stand out.

Yes, the black does have a washed muted tone to it, which immediately caught my eye too. This shirt looks way better than I was imagining. The red is as vibrant as it comes and blue has a great tone to its color. Awesome. So are you keeping all three? Yes, but if down the road they don't fit into the rotation I may let em go. The fit is spot on and they are very different than the other IH flannels but time always tells.

disheveled they look awesome. Blue looks as good as I imagined and actually the red looks better than I thought. Black looks great too...actually looks more like a charcoal???

The crazy checks came in.
Black is my favorite, the other two are dope, just a little more vibrant than the classic black.
Green and Purple buffalo checks are my two favorite UHFs released this fall-with purple taking the cake! Never would have thought either of those two colors would have worked for me. Happy to be wrong on that one

RB takes VAT out so it about covers shipping. So what does the final price usually end up being for an IH flannel to the US? $220 sounds about right.

That was before brexit, no? I've been looking at it this way, the going price for tops from US makers tends to be between $200-220, often for pieces that have crappy fits or whatever, so all of a sudden $250 for an IH flannel doesn't seem so bad RB takes VAT out so it about covers shipping.

Could you measure the bottom of the sole from tip to bottom in centimeters? Just under the sneakers and it will gimme an initial idea. Just over 30cm

Cool, man. I'm not sure, but it sounds like it could be today. It should be signature required, in case you didn't know. Please, do post your thoughts/pics when it does arrive. Signature required? Really? That's a pain. Is there a way to tell for sure on the tracking page? Not sure how to confirm that yours will be, but 100% of mine from Japan/RodeoBros have been. USPS leaves the orange slip and I go the next day to Pick Up

No update on my EMS--containing my 155s--since 10/30, when it departed Toyko. I was hoping they'd show up today, but we may be looking at Fri at this point. Anyone get theirs, yet? Any real world photos out there? My shirt went through Chicago customs on 10/29 and as of this morning is in good ol' St. Paul. The tracking page says its in transit to destination, but I don't know if that means delivery today or tomorrow. Cool, man. I'm not sure, but it sounds like it could be today.
