      A possibility….

      if you guys want to experiment, I can send you back mine to use! I'd love to be participating, however modestly, in such an experiment

      Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
      Renault: The waters? What waters? We’re in the desert.

              I don't want to speculate too much, but I imagine there'll be a restock in these before the season's over.

                    I can't restock what does not exist.  The ONLY way I will get any more is if I can force a run into an already maxed out factory - and I seriously do not know if that is possible…..G

                      I'd be curious to know more about the annual "industrial" capacity of the factory(ies) used to manufacture IH products:

                      pants: 634S, 634SR, other models
                      shirts
                      jackets

                      same question with TW

                      What are the most constraining factors:
                      lack of fabric deemed adequate for the IH high quality standards
                      lack of human resources to churn out products

                      How are those constraints addressed?
                      can looms be found and started or do those not exist any more and the modern ones are inadequate?
                      and how much does equipment cost to buy and operate
                      and how long does it take to train somebody to manufacture IH garment, are there shortages of qualified people and are other brands competing for skilled labor, etc…

                      questions questions
                      sorry to bug you Giles but those are very interesting (at least to me)

                                We dont want to expand and expand.  If we do, we will alienate the very people who have contributed to our success.  BUT, this is not a topic for the Melton thread

                                  I'm with making this material into a real jacket. I think a garage jacket in this material would be beautiful

                                  I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                      I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought about was this shirt, and I got this idea:

                                      cut and saw the bottom of the shirt so it looks like a jacket, not a shirt and you got the ultimate jacket.

                                      What do you powers that be think of this?

                                      Not a fan of this. I love the "Short quality of this piece and fitted nature. And isn't the IHW-02 almost here? There is enough Melton Wool going on at the moment. Just my opinion…

                                        Got mine today.  If a tank were a shirt, this would be it.  Glad I went with a large for layering…
