@FurattoHeddo:

Been processing the list of upcoming gear as well as I can and I'm most excited to see the cord storm rider, anyone else?

If I didn't already have the cord Type III, I would be giddy as hell.

So much great stuff on the list. Mega.

[Giles]

Ah, much better…..

[FurattoHeddo]

Well deserved drink that…

Would the denim storm rider be a reincarnation of IH-7526J, but this time with cord collar?

[Giles]

Not sure about the collar…..But effectively yes....

[MikeC]

Double weave needlecord collar would be unreal.  I was just thinking about houndstooth today too, IH version will be next level….

Expect to be annoyed about the wool work vest too.....

[Giles]

The houndstooth will be TW…

@hajduk:

g, pics tomorrow! okay:)
sleep well!

Depends what time I wake up….I have meetings starting at 11:00 and finishing about 03:00 - well Ok, the last few hours will be partying with Kiya.  But that is part of the Tokyo road trip drill.....

[hajduk]

my last for today, any news from H about the black jersey shirt?

[Giles]

No.  But in general, if it was Spring Summer stuff (which includes the Harrington), we did not discuss….....

[zhivago]

Whatever it takes G$

[hajduk]

i see. thanks.

[mankarat]

Cant wait to see the devils duck.. I remember you said it goes straight into production.. So could we expect to get it soon since you already had one right?

[emceeQ]

@Giles:

And guess what, in a little over a week, you can touchy feely the actual swatches…..

Didn't see this post earlier, now I'm even more excited.

[Giles]

No.  I asked for them to go straight into production.  But some of the threads sizes we really need to have access to, to construct the jeans, are not available in the colour we required.  So Haraki (being Haraki), decided that it would be safer to see how the jeans looked made up with slightly different thread sizes than normal.  Needless to say, when he explained and painstakingly pointed out the differences, all I saw was perfection…..

[mankarat]

Thats a good news because we get a perfect Harakified construction. But means we have to wait several months for it again. No worries, will surely grab this when its available…

The houndstooth is at the top of my list.

I hope the N1 is also coming in black or grey.
