I feel the same way. Any chance of this rising from the dead (in beige)?

Unlikely - I Had to reduce them to shift the last few and H had to do the same….

Add hand warmers and they will fly off the shelves!

It's just not that simple.  Virtually every fabric we use is made from first principles.  That means for a fabric like this double weave cord, we need to make 1200 meters, that is a shit load of jackets…......

Reading through the thread, what superfuzz mentions (no pockets) seems to be a common occurrence. Do you think that had to do with them not selling as planned?

[Giles]

Possibly

[DrBabyhorse]

So nice! I'm going to get my hands on one of these someday.

I left mine in in a hotel (The Hotel) in Alderney, they promised to send it back three weeks ago, still no sign

[Qinhan]

^ Damn.  I'd definitely call them to check up on it.

How are these bad boys evolving? Share the love.

Edit: Damn, confused it with my Duck Typ III.

@DrBabyhorse  Evo? I'll try…

I bought my jacket in March 2012 and wore it a lot for the first 16 months. Then I moved to a hot climate and it gets the odd day out from time to time. The cord has become really soft and shaped to my frame. I totally love how the buttons have turned the surrounding material rust-coloured and you can see the same copper shade on the elbow on the left sleeve. So much depth in the fabric that is really hard to capture with a phone cam…

Never washed this one btw.

Well shit….now I want one.

[DrBabyhorse]

Thanks for sharing. That looks awesome SM. I'm still hoping to get my hands on one some day.

Pleasure. This is my favourite piece from IH and would recommend it to anyone - well worth hunting down. I always think it has a bit of a Neil Young 1970s vibe to it!

@Sugar Mountain your images are pretty awesome.  The Olive colorway is great.  What's that red sploosh on the elbow?

here's the khaki in action

@madmonday Just caught your post… The red mark on the elbow I think is a discolouration of the fabric from wear rather than a mark caused by anything external. No idea how it happened though.
