Fall/Winter 2016 Pipeline

@riffblaster:

Oh damn. That deck coat.  Any idea what the price will be?

Nope.  H only asked me whether we should make it or not this morning, so it's early days.  If we do it this year (my preference), we'll have to juggle stuff around as we have already have the whipcord being produced…..

Would love to see the short coat in navy or black, but will take olive anytime. Hope there will be enough coming over.

Black please! Awesome looking jacket!!

Ezo with pockets is fantastic news.

If we do the short deck coat this year it will be a bonus.  So it will come in whatever colour we can do.  We have already ordered the whipcord, so our hands are tied.  It'll come in whatever colour we can do, so don't waste your time asking for colours….

That short deck coat looks amazing! Now, if you could just coat it in wax, or Teflon, to make it waterproof, it would be the perfect autumn/winter jacket for the UK & Northern Europe [emoji106][emoji4]

[Giles]

You do you know you can cat it yourself really easily?

[tmg]

Yes, having used Barbour wax dressing to coat my IHM-04, I would agree that it's possible, and whilst technically it's not difficult, it did take longer than I expected, and was very messy. All good reasons for asking if it could be done by professionals [emoji6]

[Giles]

Professionals? 

[tmg]

I use that term loosely to describe anyone that can do the job better than me…...and surely you and H love a challenge?

[pillowPANTS]

I really like that short deck. Looks awesome!

Whipcord, what's the difference between it and the jungle cloth than the originals came with?
Why did H go with that choice of fabric? That could be cool info for IH Deck fans like me

[Giles]

We have always used the same whipcord.  If I ever called it Jungle Cloth, I was wrong…....

@Giles:

Split cowhide…..

You can count me in for one maybe two of these, black and brown.

[Dstauffer]

@Giles That split cowhide jacket looks amazing!

Any idea the body/sleeve length for the looking to be? From the pictures it looks like it may be longer (like the 526L vs the traditional Type III), but its hard to tell for sure due to no frame of reference in the picture.

Also, is tentatively this looking to be more of a Fall or more of a Winter release date?

This looks awesome and I hope to get in one if the sizing works out!

[Giles]

When I get to Japan I will find that sort of info out.  For the moment I am just being sent pretty pictures….......

Sorry for the confusion G.. by 'originals' I meant the USN issued jackets (I'm assuming this is what they used based on all the repros out there, especially RMC)

[Giles]

I bet it's the same or effectively the same stuff, Whipcord, Bedford cord and Jungle cloth seem to be interchangeable terms for a fabric made of hard-twisted yarns with a diagonal cord or rib….
