This new TW stuff is looking really good

@Giles:

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!

[Giles]

Which Type III?

[Max Power]

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!

@Giles:

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!

[Giles]

The 526J will not change in size, nor will it be made in XXXXL.  I am making a leftie trucker in 19oz LHT, that will have longer arms and a longer body that the 526J, but the chest will remain as is.  Sorry.

@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?

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?

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.

That's a long way off.

Got to try and make the denim first…..

My obsession had to ask.  Thanks anyway G

[Giles]

^ Which is a good thing…...

[Finn666]

G. how thick are the new herringbone shirts going to be, compared to the 31? thx

[Giles]

My guess is about 50% thicker - But if anyone has an IHSH-70 - it is the same fabric…./

[MikeC]

I'm with MadMonday on this one, the IHSH-70 is my best fitting shirt. I'm definitely getting the green one when it drops. I'm hoping sizing is exactly the same as the 70.

BAM let´s hope the sizing stays the same as well. green and blue calls my name!

@Finn666:

what type of pants is the big H wearing in the 2nd to last pic?

25oz. 634 if those are the same as these below:

[T-Bone]

Just saw a very similar model at the the 2013 Autuum & Winter collection of Samurai Jeans. I think I like this one better though.

@Giles:

[Giles]
