IH-703 - 22oz Extra Heavy Serge Cargo Pocket Pants
-
OK all you 703 lusters. Wax models of me and various large pins will be available in store later…...
We have had serious problems with these......
Quote from an email from Haraki:
_I tried every test/solution that I can expect to fix the problem, I did re-dye, re-wash and so on. But we couldn't reach the quality and the product spec that I expect/need for Iron Heart.
So I decided not to sell the 200 pairs that I have already made. I will over-dye them black and sell them as black cargo pants. I will make another 200 pairs with a new fabric and sell them as 703._
I do not yet know whether Haraki will let me buy any of the black versions or whether he will restrict sales to in-Hachioji-store customers…....

Well if he does allow it, I would definitely do a pair of OD Cargos!

if folks read between the lines they will understand that G's post is actually the mark of an incredible operation. I mean to eat the cost of that many pairs being made because they weren't up to your crazy standards. the Boss could have just sold them as is (factory 2nds or whatever) but instead wrings his hands & says, "f^ck that, these aren't good enough to bear my name . . . i'll over dye them cause i can't stand the fabric & basically give them away at what they cost to make so i don't take a sh!t bath" all paraphrasing of course
great stuff & sorry for folks that were waiting for these. i do understand your pain

Love the translation Monday, it's pretty damn spot on I'd say. That Haraki, he rad!
-
Just heard from Haraki. He has not yet seen the overdyed sample. If he feels it is good enough, he will let me take them. He will also give me inseam, I'm worried that the OD process will shorten them, perhaps too much. G
Sounds promising and I'm looking forward to see some first pics of these being overdied (if H.will show!)
