Corduroy

[injunjack]

personally…I don't like corduroy. Might be something that'll sell. Or then not. Some folks on the board will def.want these.

i love corduroys, theyre super soft & comfy and get fades just like denim over time.
personally, not a fan of cargo pockets or doubleknee, but it seems like the mantra of IH in Japan. thumbs up for straight cut

Love those cargo pants.

i love corduroy but real good quality ones are hard to come by, i am sure these would be up there with the best.

not so keen on the cargos myself. super dense soft fabric in a worker double knee design just dont make sense to me.

All i want to know is when as i'm a matter of days away from scratching the itch with some EG's.

[Giles]

About 3-4 weeks

Ohhhh can i wait, can i wait…..........what's the folding(cost) on them likely to be G?

[Giles]

About USD400.  Spenny, but the double weave is super expensive to make…....

[Heavy Duty]

Eeek :o. Comfortably more expensive than the EG's then, would need to decide if i could afford/want to drop something else in order to pick these up instead :-\

[Giles]

Sorry, the cost of the cord is WAAAAY more than the 21oz selvage denim.  A pisser, but true…

[Giles]

Actually, just redone the sums, we can do USD375…...

Strange that G well to me it at this moment anyhoo. So how comes that's the case?

[Giles]

Because a double wave fabric is more complicated to weave than a single weave.  And we make miles of 21oz denim,  we effectively have one loom running full time doing it, it is a known quantity, and we do it well and relatively easily.  The cord is a new fabric that has taken a lot of experimentation to create and we are doing it in small batches…

Ahh yes double face of course i should have saw that coming. Anyway if all goes well do you think it will join the line up on a permanent basis?
