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…

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!..

Giles

I did, but I am not a man to bear a grudge - well not much anyway, "Mrs G, pass me the wax effigy of Seul and the pins please"…;D

Seul

Oh but I remember I converted the price in Yen on the tag to $ and it was exactly what I had paid (portpid, though), so…

My karma is still at peace

@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. "

Any update?..

DougNg

I sent the jacket to Giles last week so he can send it to tokyo for the overdye

Beatle

this should be one insane jacket *so nice of Haraki-san to do that

Dchill

Man, that is some serious customer service right there!^^

Beatle

yes, really amazing. I can' think of any other company that would do that..

Seul

Some random pics, and evo pics. Click away!..
