2013 Autumn/Winter Pipeline

Not too sure; logically, a centimetre should be a hundred metres.
Based on this, the 666S-19L will have an inseam of around 8800 metres, or roughly 26,500 ft. Fuck, I'll need to get them hemmed.
TMT will be happy.
26.5 feet is perfect. Ill get some sweet stacks!

Im pretty sure i filled one out G. But didnt put the code u suggested (noticed it late). Used my own description tho. Hope it made it in and in timely fashion
I have you…...
Awesome!!
-
Yes, but again, not many. I wanted a total of 138, I think in total I'll get about 50
Another question. Is the supply for this shirt as a whole short or is Haraki-san reserving them for his Japanese retailers (and not releasing much to us western folks)?
-
but how come that you wanted 138 and only get 50? where are the other 88 shirts going to?
…not getting it, sry :-\looks like you guys just need to do a shitload of the next HF/UHF you're coming out with, just to be sure that you'll have enough in the shelves when shit hits the fan...I'd rather have a few shirts too many that will sell slowly in the end, than having too less and not being able to feed the demand!
I know that you only can "guess" the numbers what and how much people are going to order from a certain item, but same happened to the IHSH-51, 50, 70, 72 and 80 if I'm not totally mistaken (if so I do apologize!)...
and o/course I know you guys are thinking your asses off on how to deal with this problem and also the risk of losing money is also involved when "over ordering", I know...shit ain't easy to control and if I'd have a solution for this dilemma, you'd already know...gonna keep on thinking though!

…not getting it, sry :-\Erm, Japan. We do have a presence there too.
The deal I struck with H was to take every single Herringbone he is making (That is now 288 shirts, as we managed to get a few more cut from the fabric than we thought we would), but I had to take less UHF than I wanted. Given where we were, this was the best compromise I could reach.
This was a particularly painful fuck up and I will be sitting down with Haraki to discuss and work out a better process when I am in Thailand. Just believe me, that me knowing how to fix this (and I do) is only part of the path to a solution.
I have said this before, but it bears repeating. Making too many of an item, so that I fulfil demand is not a good solution. It appears to be in the short term (at least from your pov), but if I get left with stock, I am tying up capital (which means I can't invest in other stuff - which you will as sure as hell want) and at some point I have to reduce the price to shift the stuff, thus my margins fall, so I have to increase the price of future stuff.

+1, I (and I think we) know you're trying your best to satisfy demanding hordes, and are doing a better job than I could ever do.

-
G, do you have any full shirt pics of the Herringbones?
This
This +1.
No idea where I am in the UHF email pecking order, but the clamour has me thinking I'm going to pass it up regardless - partly because I want as many people who love it to get one (it does look sweet), but mainly because I want this one real bad…
-
G, do you have any full shirt pics of the Herringbones?
If I did, they'd have been posted already.
1) I do my best to withhold nothing
2) I seriously need to divert some love away from the UHF and towards the herringbone -
Personally I
the herringbone and regret not grabbing one of each last year… Won't make the mistake again -
More love for the herringboners? If I would still love them more, then I would have sex with them.

Actually as part of the discussions with H, he said that I could relieve him of more of last seasons herringbones that he had in the stores, so I have more the red and the grey coming in next week…
