IH Messenger Bags (IHE-01, IHE-02, IHE-05, IHE-07)

[LandoCal126 0]

Right on. I thought they looked a bit bigger and lighter. So the IHE-02 is not Selvedge correct, or is it? I will be getting the IHE-01 because I cannot get my hands on the IHE-07. Maybe I will cut it in half and have it sewn into two IHE-07's…

The Super Black is the IHE-01 and the Indigo is the IHE-02 (and yes, not selvedge).  I need to update the website…G

Will there be any IHE-05 coming in? And is it the same size as the IHE-01 and IHE-02?

[LandoCal126 0]

If I am correct, the IHE-01 & IHE02 > IHE-05 > IHE-07…

[Monstarice]

I couldn't help but pull the trigger on the Indigo one, Looking forward to delivery

[Giles]

The IHE-01 and 02 are exactly the same in all respects to the IHE-05.  The only difference between the 02 and the 05 is that the 05 uses 21oz selvedge denim whereas the 02 is 21oz non-selvedge.  G

G, can we get some measurements for the IHE-01 and IHE-02?

[Giles]

Do ya?

[ronaldlsh]

Thanks Giles, I've recieved the messenger. Delivery was really quick!

[DougNg]

Giles, I haven't forgotten to get back you on those measurements, I've just been super busy and can't find a #$%%&$'n ruler…

thax G!

So I finally got around to measuring my IHE-05 as I was skeptical that it was the same size as the newer IHE-01 and IHE-02. Low and behold, I was correct. Here are my measurements of my unwashed/ unsoaked IHE-05…

Width: 16.25"
Height: 14.25"
Depth: 8"

Looks like I may need an IHE-01 (SuperBlack) in my pile...

man these look awesome, gotta get one!

[Mich]

I received my messenger bag today along with the tee i ordered.
Thanks for the very quick service G!

I'm genuinely impressed by the bag, i expected something good but this thing is just so freakin' great!!
The denim feels incredibly nice and thick and i love the understated design and attention to details.
I oiled the patch with some Obenauf's LP and now it's good to go, tomorrow will be the first of a lot of wearing days.
I decided not to soak or wash it first, i really like the look and feel of raw unwashed denim, and since shrinking is not an issue with a bag i will wash it for the first time when it's dirty enough.
I made some detail pics which i will post later this week.

The fit of the tee is really spot on too, this is the first Japanese tee of which i really like the fit, it won't be my last IH tee for sure!

@simon626:

Mich will you please take a picture of yourself with your new IH messenger's bag?

I've been meaning to get one but i'm not sure if it'd look overly bulky

No problem, will ask the wife to do so this weekend.
It's actually perfectly sized imo, not bulky at all but big enough to carry lots of stuff.

[Mich]

Here you go Simon

Congrats on your purchase Mich! Can't wait to pick up another one for myself!
