IH-526L - 19oz Unsanforised Left Hand Twill Trucker. The Lefty Trucker

[superfuzz]

Amen, Urbanwoodsman!

[Giles]

As Urbs says, we do a load of Type III's without pockets - and specifically the IH-526J, if you want one without pockets buy one of them, do not bitch that I have decided to broaden the range….

[Giles]

Upon further reflection, this is a perfect example of not being able to please everyone all of the time.

For years people have been asking me to do a modified Type III, that is longer in the body (and in this case arms) and with hand warmer pockets.  I refused, because imo a classic Type III is short in the body and doesn't have hand warmer pockets.

I caved in eventually and made the Brown and Black Duck Type III's with side pockets (I pathetically reasoned with myself that a Duck Type III was not really a Type III anyway).  I actually and surprisingly liked them a lot and wear the Brown Duck regularly.

When Haraki and I discussed what we should make with the 19oz LHT, apart from the obvious (666 and 634 cuts), I decided to do something quite different, hence the Lefty Trucker.

I know it isn't everyones cup of tea, but nothing ever is.

And remember, we are not a repro company, we reinterpret.

Sorry if I sounded like I was griping, absolutely not the intent. Just sharing an unsolicited opinion.

[Giles]

I did not take it as griping, fear not.  But it did lead me to think about the vagaries of our own personal opinions.  It's all good.  And it that was a gripe, please continue….

…and there is probably a pocketed Sonny Barger in my future, to give an inkling of the strength of this conviction

I do have another denim jacket in the works.  Not saying anything about it until I have seen the first sample…....

[hajduk]

please, say something…

[Giles]

101

[hajduk]

bingo!
lined or not?

[Seul]

Blanket lined, is my guess then…

[Giles]

101 is all you are getting…..

[Giles]

And you know what?  I can't even remember what denim I specced, but I am not going to look because I like surprises too…...

[mclaincausey]

I was just fantasizing about an IH 101 with sawtooth contrast stitching on the placket last night…

[Giles]

What else you dreamt about?

[mclaincausey]

@Giles:

What else you dreamt about?

This is a public forum unfortunately

[simonc]

Hmm a 21oz blanket lined 101 - two words - ding dong!

[mclaincausey]

Maybe a broken twill just to be crazy…
