      I still cannot believe you put that in the washing machine… I hope you do not ever use that thing again with any of your denim!

        I have not had a chance to speak to DougNg about this.  But I sent the images to Haraki.  This is his response (through Ayumi):

        "That looks like a fade when you machine wash without letting material wet enough.
        Haraki San can ask factory to overdye the jacket but dyeing in same brown colour is impossible. Black is possible, but you will get fade slightly during dyeing process anyway. Harakisan has a sample in almost same dye so he will send you the photo upon his return to Tokyo(in Okayama now). If he likes the result, Haraki san can overdye the jacket for him. "

          (in Okayama now)

          Off topic I know, but being in Okayama means he's checking out new stuff in the work-shops and mills…..G

              He means in black, or a brown close the duck brown?.. Would love to see pics either way. Hopefully he can work this out for DougNg.

                    Yeah, I can't wait to see what the overdye looks like. I might just send it in sight unseen because I'm sure it's going to be awesome

                    I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                      Wow what an offer from "The Boss" himself! I would just send it in and trust that it is going to come out better than it looks now. The overdye weather it is Brown or Black, sounds great! I would go for it bu am interested to see the flicks as well. Good luck with it. I wouldn't worry too much now…

                            In retrospect, it's probably my washing machine. I'm just pissed off with myself that I let this happen. I've put other denim in there, but I think it has to do with the extra stiffness of the fabric that's messing it up. I did actually presoak the jacket before tossing it into the machine, so it was plenty wet.

                              I'm hoping - as a fellow owner of this jacket - that you'll get this worked out. I've never felt so strongly about a piece of clothing from the get-go. It didn't need a single second to grown on me - I just instantly fell in love with it.  😘 😘 😘

                                  It would have only been bad news if one of those had been a L or XL, otherwise I am glad to see them done and gone! At least this way I know that there is no possibility of the S or M growing into a size that would work for me. THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY….....

                                        Bummer… A day too late to snag that M. Hopeful that IH will come up with a new brown/tan jacket down the road.

                                          So G I have a question. Why can't this jacket be made? I remember you saying something about Haraki-San not being able to source the material anymore but then what about the IH-801? Is the material different?

                                            Have been thinking the same. If Haraki could make a rider's jacket in black out of this material, I'd def buy that as well…
