Japan trip May 2010

[madmonday]

somehow i missed the side pockets. . . what's the chance of the side posckects being removed so that they are just work pants?

work pants i'm willing to purchase. . . cargos are a no go for me.

[Giles]

Probably not, I've got to be really careful about the number of xspecials I ask Haraki to do.

[madmonday]

understood, thanks for the quick response.  when are more flicks going up of all this stuff:

[Giles]

I do not have samples here yet and do not know whether I will until I see production shirts.  I have asked that in the future, I get one sample of every new top when the first samples are created.  G

[Giles]

I do have some small swatches here.  When I h=get a min, I will try and take accurate pix.  G

[madmonday]

k, i'll back off, u know how some of us get -meaning me- when we see new product 

[Giles]

You're not alone…G

I must say I completely agree with this. But not every item is for everyone and I respect that Haraki and Giles will come up with tons more stuff that most will like but some will not. Personally, if I obtain onther pair of pants I might have to be committed…

seconded

[madmonday]

wait, so u all agree that the pockets should be lost or that every item shouldn't be changed to fit the whim of every whinny customer  ::) ::) ::)

i kid, i kid

[madmonday]

back to Japan flick inspections:

can u tell us about these. . . lookslike a slim straight, but of course your word is golden. . .or in this case indigo 

[Giles]

They are a collab I am doing for DC4, I will sell them too.  Slimmish, 21oz selvedge, lots of cool detailing.  Final sample in the works right now.  G

[madmonday]

i see. . . very nice alternative to 634s while staying true to the ethos.

can only imagine the devil's fit & beat busters, this is going to be a long summer

[Seul]

Gonna have a hard time deciding whether to get those collabs or the Devil's Fit…  ???

[Giles]

Deliberately different in many respects.  G
