    I have been having some weird things happen when I click a thread, where I have "take me to latest comment." A while ago, I could choose how many posts I could view PER page in the setting page. I changed a few threads, and when I click those threads, it always takes me to the second to last page. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to go back to default. When I get +rep in those pages, it never takes me to the post but takes me to the page before.

    I've had this issue with certain threads,  not all since before the upgrade 

  2. They are a hard brand to defend /support over the last few years but I still have a spot for them. Never owned a pair of their jeans  but have always considered a pair just to scratch the itch.  Their sweats, ts and jackets are great IMO. 

    I'm popping into R&H in a week or so , might close my eyes really tight and ignore the fact everyone has warned against the jeans and try a pair on!🙈

  3. So after waiting @ 15 years for Nike to re-release the original Air Max 1 in the original  colourway I instantly copped them on release. (After boring the wife about them for years I had to)

    I actually had a pair stashed in a box for a rainy day but took them out around 8 years ago and the suede had literally rotted off....

    Anyway , when they arrived  loved them but could have swore they had a red section on the front grip...blamed it on memory fade.

    Turns out they did on the pair released a few weeks later!

    Cue 2nd pair purchased in a month.

    Freewheelers definitely produce in smaller quantities than say Warehouse, but I’m not sure there’s an ‘exclusivity’ factor being applied - although I think you might be (partially) correct on the pricing aspect - it seems to me (some) retailers outside of Japan are buying at Japanese retail prices ie the price we would pay … and then adding their markups 

    I was thinking more along of how well known they are outside of Japan or by fans of clothing from Japan. WH, Resolute, SDA etc have quite a wide range of stockists whereas FW have fewer therefore may be marketed as more exclusive /premium. 

     

  5. Sort of agree with Julian that IH do set themselves up for this kinda comparison. 

    I own a couple IH pieces, (bought below UK retail)  happy with them,  but their prices do prevent me even really browsing the site.

    I mean how good can 1 flannel shirt get after a certain point?? ( we had a similar discussion on tshirts)

    TBF jeans wise the UK pricing isn't to far from other MIJ brands brought here so if the fit worked (and could live with the arcs) they would be an option
