No way…
Did you actually do that!? :o

You better fucking believe it. Nothing I cannot repair but needless to say I am not too happy with myself. I will throw up a photo later today when I get home. Luckily for me it wasn't my girls new coat which was sitting right next to mine…

Shit Lando.  This will at least give me a slight indication of repairs on Melton.  Can I make the request of you posting what it looks like after repairs, and maybe the process of doing it (like some of the other fine posts on repairing the jeans).  I can see a weak spot forming on the armpit of my 01, and I think I may need to reenforce it some time soon.

T, not a problem. I actually plan on doing the repair myself and will make sure to document it for you. I as well have some weakening of the Melton on my older 01's under the armpits as well. Most likely it is a different fix for that area, but I will post it none the less. Hope it helps. Pretty sure you can have the melton repaired by any good tailor.

Feck….sharp knife!  Luckily, no one got hurt.  A tailor should be able to fix it in no time.

It was a pair of shitty scissors. I was tired, not feeling well, and not paying attention. I am just going to sew it up myself. No need to waste my money on a tailor for this.

sucks, but that should be a easy job to fix, thought it would look way worse…

[PETEROCK1]

Damn Lando, that sucks!

[J-IV]

Not as bad as I thought it would be. I thought you cut it right off…

Looking forward to the damage control pics.

Wait, how does that one have quilted lining?  Want!

Because it's an IHW-03 

They made the checked ones in Japan, but Giles did not order any as he still had stock of the checked 02's.

Well there you go. Thanks Mega. Dumb me. I will merge these comments into the correct thread momentarily.

EDIT: Merged

I did get some of the plain black IHW-03's and they sold super fast…...

I'm sweating just looking at that outfit 

[thomasnunnally]

Great combo!

[Anesthetist]

I'm green with envy looking at that outfit!

[Qinhan]

Great photos Lando, although I think I prefer you in the red/black version.

I'm itching for the new CPO's to drop.

What are the differences between IHW-03 and IHW-06?

[MikeC]

Not much.
