@Giles:

If you want these shipped out before we go to Japan, no…..

Doesn't matter to me. I am still undecided. Just looking for a little push.

[Giles]

I'll do the best I can.  But tomorrow we get 3 new shirts in 2 colours each.  We leave for Japan at Sparrows on Saturday.  It is going to be full on mayhem.  And that's if the shipment does not get delayed until Friday (we still have to negotiate Customs).  If there is a delay the next sleep I will get is on the plane…...

So, here is the gig on the fabric.

It is exactly the same weight and construction as last years Ultra Heavy Wight Flannel (IHSH-32).  The only difference between the 2 fabrics is the pattern.  The weight is approx 12oz.

The fabric may feel slightly different as the end result of the weaving is also dependent upon how the loom is behaving on the day the fabric is woven.

People.  These will be live on the website at approx 16:00 GMT.  Emails to those who filled the form out will go out before then.  That applies to the IHSH-52 and 54 too.  G

Might just have to ruin someones day. 

Also, they look really soft like the IHSH-32. Less rigid than the Heavyweights of old. Am I correct G? Based off of you seeing and handling the samples.

@Omega:

Both.

[Omega Man]

Should have asked "If you can only pick one, which colour?"

[J-IV]

Pattern lookin' good.

Seriously, it is an impossible question to answer.  They are both really great, one will appeal to some thh other to others.  Some greedy people will take one of each…...

don't like the new measurements for the IH shirts lately. it's always changing even for shirts of same archetype.

why is the IHSH-51, IHSH-52 and IHSH-32 all completely different measurements?

Well the 51 and 52 are a completely different cut than the 54.  But aside from that, these are not mass produced on cnc cutting and sewing machines in the 1,000's, there will always be some + or - Japanese seamstress variance, even on the jeans…...

i know some may think me insane, but the label-less version is dope.  i'm sure it will be like one of those limited items that is released & then is deemed even more special because of some obscure variation
