IH-2527J - Brown Cotton Duck Riders Jacket

Giles

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

Damn, Haraki-San never ceases to impress me. He's all out for customer-service. He takes it personally when shit goes wrong with his products…Haraki is one in a million !

Seul

Harakisan has a sample in almost same dye

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.

Giles

Dunno - wait for the pics with interest…G

quoted for truth..hell of a customer service ***

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

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…

Giles

Doug, the lengths you go to get a one-off….G

DougNg

You should see my knife collection

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.

Seul

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.

Bad news people. The last 2 of these that I had, sold yesterday. G

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….....

At least now Lando you'll have no guilt with your new super black rider.

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?

Seul

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…
