@shubharamani:

Phew ! Or I was gonna be homeless next month ! We'll see. 16oz or heavier is very respectable though.

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Tried what ? Being homeless or 16-oz IH denim ? Heee heee. That's my lame attempt at being funny. I'm sure 16-oz is plenty heavy LandoCal. No doubt about it. I need to get over that prejudice I have against lighter weight IH jeans.

double knee ? so u better hope it´s "only" 16oz…

[Giles]

Well, here are some more images  Haraki says 10.25oz, available beginning of May, designed primarily as a light weight pair of Summer work pants:

That herringbone sure is cool!  Hopefully it makes it into a shirt or two…

[Giles]

Nice idea - on the case….

These are up on the Japanese site:

As well as the hickory logger:

Giles, didn't you also say that these will also be produced without the double knee?

[Giles]

I did, but I got so few +ve enquiries, I decided not to give Haraki the extra hassle - sorry (& now I'm about to be hated by those of you who wanted them).

I may stock  few of the double-legs, but safer to PM me if you want a pair.  G

I've not been on a Lathe since 1986!

if these are IH-803, then they should be herringbone loggers

not that it's a big deal, it has the same measurements as IH-802 in hickory.
personally i'm liking this more than the hickory. the faded blue in herringbone works so much better in bootcut than the monochromatic hickory.

[Giles]

Fobsquad, you're right.  My fingers did not follow my brain when typing the title.  Have changed it.  Thanks for noticing…G

1987 for me.

i might want to grab a pair of these.

[Beatle]

I have no doubts that Peter could pull these off * If you do, make sure they get dirty *

Giles, is the sample of the workshirt or western variety?

[Giles]

Workshirt.  I wanted to keep the construction more simple than a western, I was worried about how the Herringbone pattern may clash with itself on, for instance, the pocket flaps and front yoke…G
