2016 - Spring/Summer Pipeline

Wish the workshirts hadn't been scrapped!

We have an issue with the shuttle loom woven skew.  We have had to remake all the westerns, so disguise the skew.  It was impossible with the work shirts.

This is what the westerns look like, not really noticeable when you are wearing it, but it will put some people off…..

Total non-issue for me. Still want it.

Yep, not surprised at all that some IH customers would notice that and freak out about it.

[Omega Man]

Didn't even notice it.  Thanks for pointing it out and be transparent about it.

I really like the looks of that shirt!

[organisys]

Overdye it/them!

[Giles]

That was an option I Haraki and I considered and then rejected….

[organisys]

I guess you might still see the skew in the weave…...?

[Giles]

You'll see the skew whatever, and overdying (which we tested), just suppressed the beauty of the fabric….

Never heard about a RAW and SKEWING shirt, rawdenim-heads will love it I hope.

[organisys]

Well, skewing on denim jeans occurs with wear and washing I believe, its related to the nature of the weave of denim and i suppose how tight the weave is?

The skew on these shirts I suppose actually occured on the loom?

….and yeah, i'd still buy one, but i can also understand why they may not go on sale.

New products are always between wish and hope.
I like the fabric!
Some brands call there shirts fancy, IH can call it "shuttle loom woven skew".
Look of expectancy to the outcome product.
@Giles:

Haraki has been looking for really great fabrics made by tiny little mills.  One or 2 people and a couple of looms, often in a shed/building attached to the house but always somewhere on the property.  These are known as House Factory's.  The fruits of these efforts thus far, has been the fabric for IH-711, IH-712, IHSH-119, IHSH-129 and IHSH-134.  I don't know much else, but will do visiting as many of these place when I go to Japan….

Aww skew it and just sell em already

@organisys:

Incorrect.  Skew is caused in all twill weaves during the weaving process.  It is caused by the inherent uneven tension created with a twill weaving process.

[organisys]

Ah! Thanks Giles.

Jesus feck! Come end of April I'm gonna be skint!  ::)

[Jordonf9]

I'll post some fit picks when I get my 129 in red/blue 

Been waiting for this since it was teased!

[Max Power]

Sorry if I missed it - is there an (estimated)  release schedule for the spring gear?

[Giles]

There is no published release schedule.  Just some dates in the product pdfs further up this thread…
