Japan - May 2015.

@Giles:

I probably don't have to say this because it is superfluous (see what I did there?) ;), but the collection is simply amazing.  The breadth and depth is something I have not seen from the gang before.  If there is not something for everyone there I'll eat my hat (oh, damn no hats…... :D).  The guys must have been working there little socks off.

I will start documenting the stuff tomorrow and if I run out of time will spend some of Friday taking pics too.

@Giles:

One of 2 new indigo selvedge heavyweight flannel shirts…..

IH-UltraHeavyEvolutionSelvedgeFlannel … IH-UHESF

G, did you notice any pattern differences between the new grey flannel and the old grey 20?

[Aetas]

Or IH-Ultra Heavy Indigo Flannel
Doesn´t matter.
Great fabric!

No, but I did not have the old grey to compare with.  We did all agree though, that the hue of this one is a little browner…..

@JCar2666:

I still think you'll have a hard time selling the updated TW.  It still looks like TW branding.  You need to put a normal IH badge on there in my opinion.  Not hating.

I won't have a hard time selling updated TW.  I have retailer orders for over 1,500 jeans in the 17oz NI.  That is a lot.

But I 100% agree with you re: the patch.  I was not happy when I saw it, but we have made a few hundred.  Once we have exhausted those, we will change it…..

I stand corrected.  I figured that was why you had a hard time selling them.  Because they didn't have the IH branding.  Glad to see that does not matter any more.

[Giles]

I perhaps did not make myself clear enough….

The 1,500 orders were for the iron Heart version of the jean (OK it's the TWish patch, but they are Iron Heart).  Once we have used the current Iron Heart patch (which is really just the TW patch), we'll update the patch to be more Iron Hearty....

The Works Dinner…..

Don't like this silver W - too flashy … but whatever

The indigo heavy flannels and the ombres       

[NorthernVictory]

IIRC the indigo flannels are not ultra heavy. Doesn't mean anything though.

And the ombres are cool.

What is the 8th shirt in the picture? Looks like indigo and yellow/gold threads.
