Some bad news for the fans of red Ws - despite the sample having a red one, and us requesting that the production run keeps that, the factory got confused and moved the red W back to black (as it was on the original IH-526-SBG). Clearly, it's not worth the cost and environmental impact to send these all the way back to Japan to be restitched, so we will have to live with the black W on this run, and adjust on future runs...

Sorry guys

I am watching the show "blue eyed samurai" on Netflix right now. There's a swordsmith who said "an impurity in the right place is a quality" and I thought about the black W instead of a red one.. anyway I like black on black more

A Red W enamel pin would be cool and that way anyone who wants a Red W on their jacket could have one.

@pacreamer

Stockists will be posted when they land here once all numbers have been confirmed and each stockist order is guaranteed to be fulfilled.

Please forgive me if it’s not appropriate to ask, but could you say approximately when this might be at Self Edge (or at any stockists in the USA)? Would we be talking weeks or months?

Thank you. It looks absolutely stunning, especially with this limited edition Black W. I have a pair of 8301 SBG and I took a black sharpie to the Red W. (Please don’t excommunicate me.) The idea of a rare Black W on a Type III in this dream fabric is simply irresistible.

@denimdad in a week or two..

OK, So more bad news (for some) and good news for others. After some investigation, I have worked out why the red W was omitted...

Unfortunately, despite us specifically making a new sample (pictured in OP), requesting size changes from the previous jacket (IH-526-SBG), and adding the red W (per sample in OP), somewhere in Japan a mistake was made, and the old IH-526-SBG was rerun exactly as it was. This means that the run that has been recently delivered is not like the sample in the OP at all, and is infact just a rerun of this old product:

As such, I will lock this thread for a period of time. We will 'restock' the old jacket next week, but we will be pushing another run of this model, with the adjusted fit, red W etc through as fast as possible for those of you who prefer a longer body.

Sorry about this guys, but for those of you who like shorted T3s, and pockets, you may have hit gold...
