      On second thought: How about a co-op IHxJS between IH from Japan and John Smedley from England for an Indigo dyed Sea Island cotton polo perhaps with jeans buttons or chain stitch detail on the sleeves?

            You mean the polo, right? Well maybe. But these polos by JS are so extremely comfortable and nice to touch that even the most die-hard denim devil would love them. And the contrast of the soft Sea island cotton to the Zimbabwe heavy cotton would be very interesting.

            Seul, I wear polos in the winter, too. I just wear them under a crew neck sweater. The sweater looks better with a collar under it but it is almost a waste to wear a long sleeve shirt under it. So polo is the solution for me.

              Cuss me if this is repeat, but is there any plans for a polo shirt variant?

              I currently buy them by the lorry load in semi-disposable fashion from American Apparel and it would be nice to have higher quality item. Perhaps using that loopwheeled(?) sweat fabric?

              H

              I agree a Polo would be nice. I wear those a lot. I doubt it will fit in the biker philosophy of the brand, though. For the best quality polos there are two easy and two not so easy to find answers.

              The easy ones are Lacoste and Ralph Lauren Polo. Both have very good quality and a Polo shirt should be good for five to ten years depending on how often you wear it.

              In the not so easy to find category are Cerruti and John Smedley. The Cerruti is in the same price category as the above. They make polos in mercerized cotton that are wonderful. Mercerized cotton looks like silk (shiny and fine but thicker than silk) and is very long living. John Smedley is from England and costs a fortune. I had this shop in Switzerland where the stuff was kind of affordable (say $100 instead of $220 retail in US). Unfortunately, I don't get to go there anymore. I still have more than a dozen of their polos, though. Some have holes under the arms just from friction. I need to take care of those. Others have a tiny hole where the belt buckle rubs. The long staple Sea Island cotton is the most luxurious of all cottons but this stuff is so fine that it is not really hard wearing. If Giles were able to source these at a good price and sell them under the table, I'd gladly buy some because they look great with jeans for the non-biker.

              Till

              You should check out Victorinox, BBC and BAPE if you like your polos

                  HD, thanks for the tip. I will look that up.

                  Giles, so that is near your place? Then why not talk Haraki-san into a Brit-Jap co-op on some Indigo dyed John Smedley polos. I am sure they would sell super well. It would be probably the most special polo shirt on earth. I could imagine orange accent stitching on the button placket for example.

                    On my wishlist: One of the shirts i find myself return to and use freqeuntly is the regular flannel IH-10. I think the flanell fabric is perfect in thickness and just fells great wearing. Personally I find the heavy flannel a bit too thick so to me this is perfect. So for the next fall/winter season a new run of shirts in this type of fabric would be great. Otherwise, really looking forward to the chambray workshirt and of course the first short sleeve IH.

                      Here's something that I'm pretty sure will never be done, but I think would be pretty rockin': a 21 oz. white vest.

                        On my wishlist:

                        Henleys with IH-quality!

                        An M65 jacket (military field jacket) in 22oz OLIVE DRAB denim (perhaps with a quilted/flannel lined zip-out liner?)

                        A parka in the same material

                        Cargo pants/fatigue pants in 16oz denim (for the hungover days when a three pound jeans is too much…)

                        Underwear and socks, preferably made in merino wool (ultra-lasting and comfortable as with all IH´s products - a couple of six-packs of these and I wouldn´t need to worry about buying clothes for a long time...)

                        besides the aforementioned black 22oz MC chaps and sweatshirts

                            I'm throwing this out there: a purple heavy chambray shirt- like the same sort of color as the Ombre.

                              Since there is a lot of love for the hickory stripe, hows about some inside out denim?

                                  Good call.  I got an old Carrhart one from the Union Made label days and it's clubbed rather than beat down over the years but it's still better than most hoodies out there on the market today. Think it's original weight was 13/5 oz 95/5 cotton/polyester.

                                        I can get one two to special order, but I don't carry them as the norm.  I have to retail them for $150 given shipping,texes etc
