IH-2527J - Brown Cotton Duck Riders Jacket

[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

@shabooba:

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 !

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

[LandoCal126 0]

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

[DougNg]

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.

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...

[Giles]

There is.  The 9527J is super heavy and a) the fabric is super expensive and b) due to the weight and complexity of construction it is the hardest thing to put together that we make and c) I screwed up with the $350

[Seul]

Hahah Giles man you practically gàve this jacket to me 

I promise to make lotsa purchases in 2k10 to make up for it though!..
