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

            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

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

                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...

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

                                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!

                                    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  😉

                                          Giles is acting in a very rational business mind. I have full understanding for that. I'm not so disappointed, either, because I really dislike short sleeve shirts. To me they always look half dressed and have a redneck image. One of the worst vestimentary images is the bank teller person with a short sleeve shirt, a tie and a jacket that is too big. Of course, no sleeves showing under the jacket sleeves, either. Yikes!

                                          I really can see a short sleeve only for a certain look and style. For example, bermuda shorts and a Hawai shirt for an island vacation, with some long pants and a Guayabera in Latin America or for a Cowboy look with some toned arms and great tattoos (like DChill); all of these are pretty awesome in my book. For the other situations my understanding is limited.

                                          A co-op between IH and Aero leather or between IH and Alden would be something I'd rather see energy spent on. 😉

                                            ….wait so I look like a cowboy?  Damn that's totally not the look I was goin' for.
