      ^Technical difficulties come to mind in the production stage. Fabric didn't come together as expected or of the like.

        @Finn666:

        but how come that you wanted 138 and only get 50? where are the other 88 shirts going to?
        …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.

          Thanks for all your patient responses, G. You're involvement with IH fans really makes me respect the brand even more. It's great to see!

            Makes sense G. Not an easy position to be in.

              Predicting demand is an art not a science.  Every single retailer in the world get's it wrong, the art of being successful is getting wrong less frequently…

                +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.

                Think it, be it.

                      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… 😉

                        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

                            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…

                                    For those of us trying in vain to follow along, is the last season shirt you're referring to the 24?

                                      No, the IHSH-70.  They are currently showing extinct, but Winchy will Phoenix the red ad the grey next week
