Noob question…...If i knew, you would.......

[pookguy]

loopwheeled too? ohhhhh snap!

[Giles]

Yes

[Madame Buttonfly]

We have one IHPT-01 in grey size L available, if interested please PM me 

[crankyfart]

would the previous batches of designs be also made available in this pre-order?

[Giles]

No, there are so few left in japan it just becomes a logistical nightmare….

@Giles:

makes sense. so you guys do not have a medium IHTP-01 in grey lying around?

or black in medium size for IHT-1201, IHT-1204, IHT-1205 and IHT-1206?

would grab these all 5 if you have them. 

[Madame Buttonfly]

The only printed tees we have here are 2 x Large IHT-1206, 1 black and 1 white:  when these arrived we discovered the print was sparkly metallic (gold on the black and navy blue on the white).  This was quite different from expected so we ended up with a couple not picked up.  We found it impossible to capture the sparkly print in photos, best we could do:

If you’re interested, please PM me.

To explain a bit further:  there are so many of these printed tees (models x colours x sizes) and limited demand (they are pricey), so we don’t currently order them as stock items, but of course offer them to Forum members for pre-order.

After we place our order with Haraki, we always get some additional requests which sometimes he is unable or unwilling to fulfil, totally understandable as he would have to take these out of his own stock allocation and risk disappointing his own regular local customers with lack of availability  :(.

However, after some time has passed and initial demand has been met, then of course we can go back and see what if any printed tees are still available in Japan.  Giles will be taking a look when he’s out in Hachioji next week and will see if he can snag a few (no guarantee)

Most welcome, MM - and happy Friday to you 

[crankyfart]

thanks alot for explaining. it makes absolute sense and im just gonna keep my fingers crossed and hope G would manage to snag some back.

anyway i dropped by Tuckshop and grabbed both the "black & orange working class hero" and another of the "pride of japan shirts" (so i now have both the one with the face and the one with the man on a bike). still, i am interested in the rest. 

honestly, the shirts can be considered pricey but the quality justify the price tag!

Great clarification Madame Buttonfly.  Waiting patiently on new printed T's

Same! My fingers are already on stand-by…..

[Dirty Denim]

Are there any V-Neck tee's on the horizon?  I'm a sucker for anything Vneck

[Madame Buttonfly]

Quick update, G has confirmed directly from The Works in Hachioji that he’s unable to grab more printed t-shirts (the few still available are all sizes XS and S). 

Sorry for any disappointment, but another round of printed tees is due soon. 

[Morose_Penguin]

Damn, could he not "borrow" a couple of smalls?? Or does Haraki-San need them all?  Any would do

[Giles]

Any colour/model?  I will see what I can do

[Giles]

I have the designs for the next batch of printed tee's…...5 or 6 colours/5 designs.  But he is only printing 1500.......

[Dirty Denim]

Summer is near so the tee's are a hot commodity.  Cant wait for the new tee's
