Great Hachioji news…

1. Haraki liked my idea of a blue weft/blue warp denim.  We agreed to sample the 18oz raw but replace the off-white weft with rope dyed indigo
2. Haraki is well on the way to buying a Union Special jeans production line (well, the one we make out jeans in now).  Over time he will migrate that to his own factory.  This is brilliant in so many ways, I do not know where to start.  I offered to invest, we'll talk when he comes to Europe.  This (in typical Haraki fashion) is a well considered long term plan, we expect to have complete control of the line in 2 years and in our own factory in 5.
3. The 666S, the IHXB01 and the IH-666-XHS (maybe other models too), will become regular production models, this should reduce the length of time we are out of stock of sizes in these.

I'm really liking the new Triple Works range. It seems to have got a much more distinct identity now.

Good news on the production line too. Glad things are going well.

Any news on the TW waffle shirt?.. What, I'm Belgian, I like waffles…

[Giles]

I saw it again and pushed it under Haraki's nose when he was talking to Roger about something else.  I am going to have to do some arm-twisting on him.  He has something against it…...Sarina and I don't know what, but we will find out.....

[Seul]

Promise him Belgian choc and beer…

[davito]

Thanks G for all the insight and info. Gotta love that m65 denim wow, will be on hunting position, really really nice. 

[JCar2666]

All this news sounds great for IH crew and customers.  Did you guys decide on what cut for the sample blue warp/blue weft?

[MikeC]

I'm super looking forward to a natural indigo dyed TW tee. That's fucking amazing.
