2015 Fall/Winter Pipeline

[Dion]

I know I've asked some time ago about an updated 634: any plans on a 634S-21 and 634S-18 (without P)?

[Giles]

No current plans to update the 634S.  I asked retailers if they wanted IH-634S-18 - I got zero response, so I dropped the idea…...

[Dion]

OK, thanks, I just saw the 634-Paraffin-versions (18 and 21 oz) on the release timetable (https://www.dropbox.com/s/q1ygzvk408t9dg6/FW15 FF.xlsx?dl=0), which look updated, and hoped therefore for non-Paraffin-editions :D.

[Giles]

Not that I know of…...

What do you mean by updated?  Is the cut of the 634 being updated or something?

[Giles]

No, but people would like to see it with more selvedge detail and sewn in belt loops…...If we updated the cut it would get a new Lot Number....

Ah..I see.  Thanks.

Back pocket linings would also be a nice standard feature.

I'm so not bothered whether we update the 634S though.  It is what H dreamed up 12 years ago and deserves to stay what it is…....It aint really a bad jean......

Not disagreeing with you at all.  I have the 21oz Indigo selvedge in the 634 cut, perfect straight leg fit IMO.

It absolutely deserves to stay the same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Can anyone shed some light on the Parrafin coating for the jeans please?  I saw white jeans that had it on, but none others and was curious what this offered and how common a practice it is?

I guess it adds a little waterproofing and dirt resistance, and maybe makes them more rigid? Quite like the look of the denim with it applied.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

It is merely a paraffin wax coating.  It offers water resistance and dirt resistance, it also makes the jean more rigid  (so I have told you nothing you did not know yet).

It will wear off/out with time.

I do not know if they will be extant.  And I will only stock them to specific request, I took the view that they were too specialised for my market…

Quick question.  Will the snaps on the Maroon/Cream western flannel be pimpable?

[Giles]

Quick answer.  No…....

Thanks @Chris

[manufc10]

Guys I was just being a smart ass, but thanks @Chris.  I was half expecting @Giles to reply that "the long answer is…..No."

But thanks for the links actually.  I learned something today

[BloodnThunder]

Probably nope.
