          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 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…

                                          Another idea for this outstanding piece of art: quilt line it so it can be used as a rider's jacket in the winter. By winter, I mean wimpy winter in Paris, not winter in Chicago!

                                            I think for riding you would want a zip.  You could consider the IHW-02 (not quilt lined) in the wool version:
