Is the XH flannel also comming in red G.?
No, just the colour I posted. Though we will prob rerelease the buffalo check in red.
Shame, looked like promising colourway that red…
-
is it wrong i already sent in a form for the Poly Cotton Work Jacket?
No probs. The earlier the better, let's me understand more readily what to put into production…
get on it then boys, the more he knows the less "a fuck it sold out already?" we have to worry about

I love all of this:
Triple Works, 1950's type work shirt in organic/natural indigo chanbray with indigo dyed cat's eye buttons..
TW - natural indigo dyed Tee….
TW labels. Different ones for Cut and Sewn, Bottoms and Shirting…
TW - indigo twill pocket bags…
Great Hachioji news…
- 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
- 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.
(Though Giles knows how I wanted to experiment with the colored weft…)
-
Someone asked about Sweats. 3 types 3 colours (possibly inc Olive), same body shape as current versions, but we will do up to XXL this time….
This is fantastic news, I just hope xxl is longer in the body!!
-
That should be OK as H is only making the XXL for the Western market
sick!
so we're looking at a fall release for these? i was checking out the fabric @ SELA today, well wanted to try on the XL and I'm glad a XXL is being made.
Does this also mean that they Type III's are being made larger as well? That would be amazing news too!
-
The Herringbone (green!) looks so great, I will break my vow not to buy new shirts this year. This i vow. Thanks a lot for all the nice food and clothing pictures!
-
Which Type III?
any of them? I vaguely remember some talk of a type III sized larger than in the past coming up. I'm almost able to wear the sz 46 type IIIs so if there would be a XXXXL made I'd be all over it! or the equivalent there of sized as XXXL. And to think of the possibility of a XXL hoody under a XXXXL Type III - that would be wonderful!

I miss Tokyo, need to find an excuse to live there

I miss Tokyo, need to find an excuse to live there
Mrs Snowy and I would both like to move over there, it's STUPID hard to get a job/visa for there. Only 7 IT jobs in all of Tokyo being advertised, most need a high level of Japanese to even begin applying.

All this news sounds great for IH crew and customers. Did you guys decide on what cut for the sample blue warp/blue weft?
I'll prob do 634S and 666s
Did you and H get as far as deciding on contrast stitching or maybe an equally dark indigo stitching?
That's a long way off.
Got to try and make the denim first…..
