IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[dave]

I'd love to be first, but I don't know if I want to get the first pair Giles tries to hem

[barun]

I can't remember if this was covered on here but was the 25oz denim made just for the VMC annies and the leftover denim has been used for the two XHS cuts or is there still more out there that will be used for other fun things?

[Giles]

The concept was to do the VMC and the XHS plus other stuff (perhaps)…

[jacoavlu]

but probably too heavy to do a jacket no?

[Giles]

correct

@Giles:

These and the IH-666-XHS should be here and ready to ship on 19th September.  Giles

TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 19, are they here yet, are they here yet, are they here yet?

Giles is prob measuring away right now :):):)

[Giles]

I wish I was.  The shipment has become untrackable.  Haraki has shipped it, ever since then I have not been able to track it.  Normally I can track it the moment it is picked up.  I have been unable to do anything about it over the weekend.  Todays top priority is to find 300Kg of jeans and shirts…

fingers crossed, pals

This is part of a devious scheme to make us hold our collective breaths.

Gosh these people at IH are something else when it comes to marketing and buzzing their stuff!

No need for this, we're converts!!!!

More seriously, Giles: I sympathize with you. The other day, the plant had done the same thing to me and I was unable to locate a batch of 1.000 Bitty McLean + Sly & Robbie singles for like 3 or 4 days. Talk about unnecessary headaches.

[Giles]

I think talking to Haraki we may have got caught up in a holiday weekend.  Usually a shipment shows up in UPS tracking within a day or so of it being picked up.  This has been untrackable for days now…...

On a more positive note, UPS have never lost an import so I am not too worried, just pissed off me and Mme B are not on the floor with our measuring tapes.....

kinky

[Giles]

I knew someone was going to come back on that one…..

[georgeel]

I'm worried.
We can't face the incoming winter with these lightweight 21oz jeans…

I woke up at ~2AM (GMT-8) to check the forum to see if the pants were up.  After reading this message I quickly fell back asleep and had bad dreams about these being lost in transit the rest of the night

I know I know, but we need a scapegoat and UPS is the designated victim.
You let us know if we should launch a fatwa on UPS and how lethal that fatwa should be.

[Jsticklee]

Better yet! If they give you any sass give us the guys name and badge number and we'll call about our own pants…

[Giles]

Still untrackable, hoping for something to happen overnight…..On the upside, a delivery that was showing as "not before 20th" turned up today.....

[Paul9221]

These need to come out already.  I'm carrying my laptop and mobile hotspot with me everywhere so that I can pounce on a purchase as soon as they're announced
