IHSH-25 - Short Sleeved Mechanics Shirts

[Giles]

16oz.  That is a standard IH fabric, anything else we have to back to the mills…G

[Dchill]

hell yeah, can't wait.

16oz or more… "Anything less would be uncivilized!"

[Beatle]

Beatle is sad. Not enough people showed interest. Giles couldn´t justify ordering them….no super black short sleeves...

[Dchill]

dammit!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I might have to buy another one now to make into a SS??? You gotta do what you gotta do…

[Giles]

Sorry folks.  Some of my retailers were interested and obviously some of you guys were stoked.  But the bottom line was that I was going to have to commit to a load of shirts that I was not 100% sure I could shift.  I'd rather invest in stuff that I know will move.  I can still do this, but I need more upfront interest…G

Not your fault at all. I for one and am sure I can speak for everyone else regarding this topic that we really appreciate you trying to make it happen for us!!!!!!!!

Beats, we might have to start a "Save the SuperBlack SS!!!"…

[Dchill]

That makes sense G, we will just have to keep recruiting new IHF members and make this s/s thing happen.

I'll be honest Giles. I've said it before and I was very honest about the Forum T-Shirt being boxy and not the right cut for me.  A short-sleeve Super Black seems oxymoronic and awkward to me. Most customers, if presented with a long-sleeve and short-sleeve Super Black, will go for the long-sleeve.

Shubs - no offense..but the short sleeve shirt has a long tradition - just think of the bowling shirt. it is a fine piece of garment that will actually get a lot of attention in the near future. I predict a short sleeve trend in the fashion industry. Why not make a trend instead of just following it ?

Absolutely none taken (offense). But Beatle…the question to ask is -- are you in the majority or minority ? If you're in the minority, then it's not a good biz decision for Giles. I don't really know the answer to that question -- but my hunch is that you are in the minority in preferring a short-sleeved SuperBlack shirt. My theory is, if customers can only buy ONE and are posed with both -- they're gonna choose the long-sleeve. And most people will choose only one SuperBlack shirt. Just my hunch, that's all...

The magic of fashion industry is to create a demand.

Don't convince me Beats. Convince the G-Meister.

It´s not so important that it happens right now…there´s a lot of stuff going on at the moment. One day ..I´m sure it will happen...

[deadendpro]

Giles could be safe and do a pre-order? or do sticks on the order from Haraki-San.

[Giles]

Let's wait for the SS thing to take off.  Doing a pre-order does not help greatly, I have a pretty good idea how many I would get orders for, doing a pre-order won't change the demand…G

It will happen. It just has to be the right time. Although I would love to have it sooner than later, I can wait for such a great item!

[Seul]

I would rather take a s/s superblack than a l/s but that's just me. I'll certainly buy the l/s, though. I would in fact have bought both.

Here's to hoping it indeed will happen one day.

Also: fashion?.. Trends?.. Not feeling those words lads and lasses

let me rephrase that "extra heavy denim wear new styles research and product development"
