2016 - Spring/Summer Pipeline

[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.

[Aetas]

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

[Giles]

@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…

This is pure dopeness

Oh yea.  Love this.  I don't own any IH shirts yet.  This might have to be #1.

@Giles please convince Haraki to make boatloads of these ^^^^.  These look amazing, tons of people want them, and I don't want to miss out on one

[Giles]

Pre-orders went in ages ago.  What will get made is what pre-ordered.  That includes the fabric.  If we sell out of the shirts fast, we can't make any more unless we make more fabric, which'll be months and honestly unlikely to happen.  And if you are an XXL or an XXXL you're in more trouble, because H probably won't make anything over XL for Japanese stock.

So if I have under-ordered, then there is a chance of picking up the smaller sizes, but virtually no chance of picking up XXL and XXXL.
