The IHSH-53 looks hot as fuck. I need that shit…..

[MikeC]

What is left right twill, broken twill?  Are they all Sanforized?

[Giles]

My typo,  I have corrected it.
All sanforised.

[MikeC]

Haraki-San is really selling me on that new vest.  I like how he rocks it.

what's underneath the 33/71?

[Chris]

What are the weft colors?

Iron buttons look cool, too.  Be interesting to see them after a few washes and rust sets in.

From a luggage perspective.  I sent Chapman leather 2 Horse Hides and asked them to make a couple of samples.  Haraki and I will start tweaking the design tomorrow…..MikeC saw my sample.....

Oh shit!

[Giles]

Went to The Flat Head Show this afternoon with The Swiss Family Hatt and Danny from Rivet and Hide.  I only took 2 pics and they are both for Finn…

[Giles]

Just off to the bar to meet up with everyone, Tom and Sarina are joining us for the evening, there will be 12 of us.  Then it is off to a new Mexican just up the road.  JPY3,500 (about USD45) per head for a decent meal and all you can drink (of just about anything) for 2 and a half hours.  Have a strong feeling they will be filing for bankruptcy tomorrow…..

Now that sounds like a quality evening, have fun guys 

[seawolf]

G, if that's the bag you showed me, wow!

[Finn666]

thanks for the flicks G. much appreciated…the new IH joints aren't too shabby either ...

new 53 - noice, though I'd maybe you some thicker (looking) thread. looks a bit "thin" for my liking and imo it isn't that "visible"!

new iron buttons - yessir! love those, but I think the old ones are better working on a shirt! those remind me a lot of the ones used on a type III or on the jeans (not as tough though!)

12 new denims - you guys are crazy really looking forward to new products/product ideas.

hickory - is there another/a new sample of a hickory shirt on the ground? the one showing the new buttons I mean...

new 33 (?) - looks like a new version of the 33 as well (far in the back of the denim sample pic)...or is it just a sample with the new ihjp stamped buttons?

new jacket - looking forward to what that is (bottom left side in the funky chicks pic)

I think that work shirt looks great.  Be nice to see it on someone.

[Sugar Mountain]

Re the new 53 Finn, I think people were put off by how visible and high-contrast the white stitching on the old version was. I prefer this revision.

The details on those denims samples have me drooling…
