@andersos:

Is the olive of the N1 different than last year? Looks darker to me in those pics.

I believe the same…

^where does that quote come from again?

"Unloveable"

It's either a prototype or a new Workshirt, but the new prison stripe fabric is in a Workshirt with snaps on the IH JP Facebook page. Snaps on a Workshirt, the impossible may be happening.

What then, a buttoned Western yokes shirt?  A world gone mad

[tatmantall]

I may have to breakdown and get a Facebook page just to see that.

Here ya go

IHSH-91

So about a month ago, H said "I am releasing a new western in a new striped fabric, just for the japanese market".  He's still a bit irritated that I took all of the herringboners, so he is scurrying around trying to make shirts for the Japanese market to fill the void.

Needless to say, I applied a little bit of pressure and he said I could have a few.  So I have 15 inbound.

He just told me that "when I said western, I meant work"….......

You know the form, complete the form if you want an email when they hit…

Good stuff. I was sad I couldn't get the short-sleeved hickory this summer, this looks like a good compensation

@Giles:

so he is scurrying around trying to make shirts for the Japanese market to fill the void.

On that note, you may see some new shirts that he is releasing only in Japan, so I will not be getting them over here.  He is rebranding some TW as IH to sell to the domestic market.

[mclaincausey]

Is TW international only?

[Giles]

He sells TW at the works, but nowhere else.

The new Indigo range coming out soon, will be International only, at  least for the time being.

[mclaincausey]

Interesting–thanks!

I seem to recall products under the TW brand didn't move as well, but they are made no more different than the products under the IH brand.  Rebranding some TW while limiting distribution may be the only way.  Just saw a couple of pics under Boss Talk, the previous TWSH-09 is now an IH shirt!

[Guest]

Keep in my that a lot of the TW releases have been sized differently too.  The last runs were really long.  IMO most of the goods (both IH and TW) that don't sell well have various sizing issues, otherwise they would likely fly off the shelves…like the 2012 indigo forum tee and the TWSH-05,6,7, etc.

[Giles]

Totally agree that the indigo forum tee was seriously challenged from a sizing POV.  However, with the TW shirts we purposely changed the sizing/body shape a little from Iron Heart for a slightly different fit and look, and perhaps to suit other body types.  No one shape of shirt will fit/suit everyone, so we tried to ring the changes.

I don't think it was sizing that stalled TW shirts sales, I think it was a mixture of our inability to articulate the differences and some prejudice against TW as it was not IH.  I firmly believe that the current sale of TW shirts has succeeded in opening a lot of peoples' eyes to how good the shirts really are, and out of the (shit) load we have sold in the last 2 weeks, we have thus far only had a couple of problems with sizing.
