IHSH-48 - Smokey Flannel Work Shirts

[madmonday]

once it's named smokey it has to be good 

amazing the way it changed from the one we saw being worn to what is going to be here for the choosen few to purchase.

have to love the process

[Giles]

Yes.  It is a double edged sword showing you guys the process/transformation.

The good news is you get to see as much of the process as poss, which I think is very interesting.

The bad news is that you see stuff before we finalise on colours/cuts/details etc, so you may not like something that we're going to change anyway because we thought we could improve…..

[madmonday]

yeah, you are dealing with a picky bunch.

good thing it's just clothes . . . . HAhahahHAHAhAha

Being disappointed by the outcome of the design process is cool. My favorite part about IH (besides the insanity and attention to quality) is the interaction between the creators and the customers.  I feel like I'm buying into something instead of just buying something… of course that could just be the result of a highly effective psychological marketing technique

Interestingly enough, I was having just this discussion with Haraki over dinner.  Haraki's response "I hide nothing"….

Dave, I am with you on that one. I like the interaction there is here, I like the service and all the info one gets. So yes it is business but at the end of the day we all need to make a living out of something and I am glad this way of doing it exists (also that I found it in this jungle).

This red ihsh48 looks great. I first thought of the grey but the red… Any news on the waffle weave by triple works?

Have fun at the party!

I'm talking TW today…..G

All 3 are amazing. Leaning towards grey I think.

@Giles:

Looking at this shirt again (form sent to know when it arrives :-)) I am wondering if the pockets have been made smaller.
It looks great with small pockets! Ok, I do not have an iphone so the big pockets are just big to me, but nonetheless I find the small pockets nicer like on my FH CO-03W.

Are the pockets smaller than say on the IHSH35, or should I go to the ophtalmologist?

[Giles]

^^, I will measure when they arrive.  I did not notice on the samples - and remember, samples not necessarily exactly the same as the production items…

[Hipporaven]

All right! Fingers crossed for small pockets then! Thanks!

[SimonQ.]

gosh, so lucky that i hate those buttons soooooo much. otherwise id have to sell stuff id really like..

[crisone]

I just hope they don't slip out like the buttons on my 53 (currently looking for 12-13mm to replace).

red  w isn't needed, but not soooo bad on ol' smokey.

i'm liking the blue, too bad smokey isn't in the budget 

[crisone]

^ My budget's been screaming, "Release me!!!!!  I need some Smokey!!!!!", haha.
