@JCar2666:

All this news sounds great for IH crew and customers.  Did you guys decide on what cut for the sample blue warp/blue weft?

I'll prob do 634S and 666s

Music to my ears (634 that is).  Best news this week.  Waiting patiently….

So hard to pick the winner out of all the great things we've seen these last few days. I'm probably partial to the new TW stuff. I am on-board for a pair of these new 634s, though.

No tw flannels this year. Yet?

[JCar2666]

A long shot but would I would take a blue buffalo check it ever done again…

[Qinhan]

^  Yes!  Please, oh pretty please.  Revisit the cookie monster G and H:  Me want cookie!

[mclaincausey]

I think an indigo/cream buff check would rock

[Jordan23]

Cookie!

[Finn666]

please don´t kill the exclusivity!

[seanocono]

Selfish, Rafa.

[Finn666]

was just f…ing with y´all sean. it´s all good

maybe mikec wanna step into the ring?

[seanocono]

Haha. Yeah, I wasn't serious, either.

I know MikeC has something to say about this.

[seanocono]

G, can you make a 1/1, organic cotton, buffalo check flannel with two different shades of green so we can watch MikeC's head explode?

[Seul]

In size XS.

[Giles]

Better if we did it in a fucked up size XL

[Giles]

We are home.  Winchy is cooking roast beef supper.  Sure it was not part of his job spec (but it is now)…...

[JCar2666]

Glad to see G and P are back safe and sound

@Giles:

@FurattoHeddo:

Is the XH flannel also comming in red G.?

No, just the colour I posted.  Though we will prob rerelease the buffalo check in red.

Shame, looked like promising colourway that red…

I read most of this thread on the Tube yesterday. I looked up and saw this advert.

Obviously a sign. :o

[patch]

So much good stuff coming..

@natehate:

is it wrong i already sent in a form for the Poly Cotton Work Jacket?

No probs.  The earlier the better, let's me understand more readily what to put into production…

get on it then boys, the more he knows the less "a fuck it sold out already?" we have to worry about

I love all of this:

Triple Works, 1950's type work shirt in organic/natural indigo chanbray with indigo dyed cat's eye buttons..

TW - natural indigo dyed Tee….

TW labels.  Different ones for Cut and Sewn, Bottoms and Shirting…

TW - indigo twill pocket bags…

Great Hachioji news…

1. Haraki liked my idea of a blue weft/blue warp denim.  We agreed to sample the 18oz raw but replace the off-white weft with rope dyed indigo
2. Haraki is well on the way to buying a Union Special jeans production line (well, the one we make out jeans in now).  Over time he will migrate that to his own factory.  This is brilliant in so many ways, I do not know where to start.  I offered to invest, we'll talk when he comes to Europe.  This (in typical Haraki fashion) is a well considered long term plan, we expect to have complete control of the line in 2 years and in our own factory in 5.

(Though Giles knows how I wanted to experiment with the colored weft…)
