IH-2527J - Brown Cotton Duck Riders Jacket

(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 ***

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

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….....

ditto for me!

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…

Um Seul, IH-9527J…

Seul

Is that the same fabric?.. I'm thinking of having mine overdyed to black anyway… I love the brown colour, but black is more my style...

Edit: it's just weird that the superblack is 500 $ whereas brown duck was 'bout 350 I think... So I assumed there was a difference in fabric...
