Some sources say that this cartoon created new german slang. It's easy to see why..

Should i attach my keys directly to it or use a split ring ?

At the moment it looks odd, i have my keys attached directly to it.

Old style keyring and modern house keys looks wrong, was thinking of getting some brass keys cut and 'ageing' them.

I'd recommend a split ring, just for practical reasons.  I bent mine pretty badly by putting my car key on it.

I have the same issue with my brass chain setup. I use a cheaper split ring to do the dirty work..

I found a sz 48 Flat head denim shirt..What would that be considered?  Hopefully its a XL or XXL

[Giles]

I wear a 40 in IH and a 44 in TFH…..

[Dirty Denim]

TY G so I might have a chance with this.  Trying to get the guy to give me a fit pic so i can see how big it is

[Finn666]

should be too big for you I think…a 48 in TFH is more like a XXXL in IH!...

[Dirty Denim]

Yea definitely way to big..He measured it and P2P is 25

G.
Do you think it would be possible from a technical standpoint to create a western cut shirt out of the 17oz hickory (I'm thinking of a shirt like IHSH-08)?

[Giles]

Technically possible, though very difficult and thus expensive.

[FurattoHeddo]

Thought so …

Giles any news on the new navy and khaki chinos?

[Giles]

I'm still debating whether to give Haraki the green light…..

[simonc]

Well considering they are the go to pants for men after jeans and no one here has a pair i cannot see how they will not sell out instantly.

[Giles]

For my retailers to make a half decent margin, it looks like I would have to retail them in the region of USD360.  The cost is currently coming very close to the IH-634S.  Personally I have an issue with that as a target price, so unless we can do something about the cost without compromising quality, then I'm going to struggle to justify pulling the trigger.  At USD360, they'll sell, but extremely slowly.  I'd love to be convinced I'm wrong…

[Chris]

I'd say that analysis is spot on.  Personally, I don't think chinos are going to be a strong seller, even at a lower price.

[simonc]

I cannot understand how you can purchase chinos for such a price off the guy you're selling for?

[Giles]

I've actually got the fabric samples out on my desk as I was looking at them earlier.  The fabric is superb, so I am keen to do them.  But unless I can get the cost down (this is the first time I have ever gone to Haraki and said "cost too high, what can we do?), my money is better invested in something that my gut tells me will sell quicker.  I have learnt the hard way, don't let your own taste get in the way of pragmatism…
