Pipeline Triple Works…...

Sweet shit.

Washed it last night so that I can d a shrink test on it….

I'm super pumped for all of the TW lineup this Spring. I'm jumping on a ton of it, as it starts to trickle in. Are all of these TW shirts, the first TW shirts Hararki has released under the TW name?

-As a side note, is there a biography page or something about the master, Haraki-San? And what did Works Inc do prior to IH?  I know they've been around for 25 years and I'd love to see some OG vintage Works Inc gear. I love this brand!!!!

MikeC.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Haraki has made very little of the fabric for most of the first TW shirts, so we have not got enough to make anything over XL (yeah, I'm pissed too..).

The denim western that I specced (pic above) will be going up to XXXL.

Hopefully once the TW line gets moving, then all stuff will come in sizes up to XXXL.

The only other TW shirts I have seen have been samples that never made it into production.

Paula is working on a biography/history at the moment…..

If the XL isn't baby sized, I'd get some shortsleeves, as I'm not going to wear an undershirt. But you really broke my heart with that longsleeve green flannel. I'm half-Korean and all my relatives are similar sized (they are full Korean).  I don't get the whole small Japanese sizing thing. I kind of get the height thing, but not the width thing. I guess I'm just venting….

[Giles]

Vent away….

There are a few old flannels with TW tags running around, I'm not sure if they were production shirts or samples.

I can not wait for the 8 oz denim shirt.  Consider my store credit gone…..

Oh there is.  But please remember when I started bring IH over to the West, XL was the largest size IH did.  I am sure XXL and XXXL will happen with TW soon, but we can't make more fabric than we think we can sell, and it was the larger sizes that took the hit this time…...

[Jii]

I would have totally picked up that light blue oxford but I understand the lack of bigger sizes. I'm really happy that IH provides us bigger folks with superb stuff (and TW in the future I hope), especially after visiting Japan and realizing that not many other brands from over there do.

Based off that photo, a Large is more than big enough. A XL would drown you imho.

[mankarat]

You hear that G.. I'm L in this…

[Giles]

Sorry Mank, it's on my back….
