Samples - New Products We Are Working On

[Giles]

@awalden:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is Self Edge not the primary retailer of IH goods?

If you mean largest, yes, you're wrong

@awalden:

I emailed Kiya specifically asking about the 25oz. double indigo denim and if SE would carry it. The response was that it was too rigid and heavy to be worn.

Kiya's wrong (but I am sure he prefaced his statement with "in my view"), once broken in it is one of the most comfortable denims we make.  After the 21oz the 25oz is easily the second best seller…

@Fadez:

SE is a big retailer but also DC4, B&S, R&H, and Pronto. I'm sure there are different tastes across the globe. But if it happens in the 633. This dude is gonna flip out.

And VMC.  VMC have been retailing in this space for at least 15 years longer than any other retailer we supply.  We originally developed the 25oz denim to celebrate their 25th anniversary…..

When I pitched the idea to Haraki, he thought I was completely mad.  Now he wears 25oz and it is a big seller in Japan too.....

…and this year they are celebrating their 30th anniversary ;).

Ah, thanks for the info. As a young blooded denim newbie, the culture and devotion behind this brand never ceases to amaze me. I was thinking of pulling the trigger on some 633SII's for fall but I will definitely be awaiting this upcoming 25oz monster.

[Fadez]

I can personally attest to how comfortable the 25oz. Had them in the 634. Just got too big to wear them. That's why I'm so stoked on this. I want another 25 oz and indigo x indigo. And Giles forgive me for missing VMC!

@awalden I have both the 25oz and SII denim, you want both for sure[emoji6]

You also missed Vater & Sohn and a few others…...

Word! So the 40 pairs of each cut, are they only going to be accessible from the said retailer? Or are they getting their own shipment and you're claiming 40 of each cut for IHUK? Just wondering if we're all gonna have a chance at them or if they're gonna be super limited.

[Giles]

I'm taking 40 or 50 of each cut….

Hey Giles, can you give a very rough estimate as to when the 777od will become a finished product?
Are we talking weeks/ months?

Thanks 

[Giles]

The IH-777s14-od - Months.  Possibly this year, but probably early next

[Mario3309]

Thanks!

[Giles]

One of the 25oz I/I cuts will be the 666

[Tidal]

Sorry, more questions….

I'm sure this must have been asked already, but will the 25oz ii have tonal stitching (or is that something for the shop to announce when ready)?

Also, on a sort of related note, when jeans are overdyed do they get released as the same size they went in the vat as?  Eg does a 32" 777 become a 32" 777 od?

Thanks!

[Giles]

I think that I can say non-tonal - but we are still sampling….....

and

Yes, sometimes......   depends what we think will happen to the denim in the vat

[Dion]

Tonal would be a dream 8).

[xtcclassic]

Tonal stitching in the 25oz double indigo denim in the 666 cut would be a NIGHTMARE… for my wallet  :o

I know I am only speculating (it's late here in Alabama and I'm been drinking wine haha), but since I believe (i'm probably wrong, but I'll pretend I'm smart for a minute) the first real Indigo/Indigo release in the West from IH was the Leathersoul X SE X IH collab, I wonder if the 25oz I/I is also being released with some limited edition footwear.. perhaps it's a V&S collab and The Bootery will be releasing some badass boots to go with them.  None the less, a pair of beeswax colored rough out short shaft Boss Boots with natural single stack soles and indigo welt stitching would look great with these…just saying

[xtcclassic]

I have that denim, it's not indigo/indigo, it just looks like it because it's such a tight weave and the indigo is soooo dark. Great denim regardless, fades beautifully.

Yes they would, great suggestion [emoji106]
