2012 Printed Short Sleeved Tee's

[Madame Buttonfly]

@Giles:

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

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)

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

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.

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.......

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

Anything outside of 1207 in black… Sorry for the trouble.

SESF comes up trumps, now if only LA would hurry things along.

Better pics tomorrow

I hate to be that guy, but what's the best guess on when they'll be available?

I know, I know- IWHWIH…;)

[Giles]

Haraki reckons he will be able to give me final colour/design specs next week.  then we go into pre-order, then about 4 weeks…..

[Chris]

So end of June-ish?  Cool.

And follow up annoying question- any chance the new red tees will be part of this batch?

[Giles]

Mr Chris - Please go straight to the top of the class…....

[J-IV]

Yes…
