Yessir….

@Giles In the original thread(Black 101J) you had mentioned having enough of this denim to make some pants as well as jackets. Are you still going to be making pants? If yes have you decided on a cut?

[Giles]

I only have enough for 150 "things", so it depends on how popular the jacket proves to be…..

[Max Power]

How does this 21 oz black denim feel - stiff like the non-selvedge superblack denim or more like the SBG denim? Hoping for the latter. this jacket will be so great, just hope for slimmer arms compared to the Indigo 101J.

[Giles]

I have agreed with Tom san that the arms will be slimmer…..

Ask @riffblaster general  about the stiffness, it's no longer here…..

[rocket]

great call, will look so much better…

[Max Power]

Perfect, I think I'll have to have it then.

@Giles:

I have just received the first sample of the overdyed 14oz indigo selvedge M65.  Photos will follow later, but suffice to say, this is a semi inducing piece of kit.  The sample aint going anywhere…...

Hi, any ETA for this and how much it is going to cost? Might have to sell an organ.

[Giles]

No ETA and no price yet.  When I do, I'll announce…..

[Miiks]

Ok, thanks!

It arrived today and it's a BEAST.  I don't feel that this denim is as stubborn as the normal superblack or even the sbg for that matter.  it's pretty hot here right now so i probably won't be wearing this much for the next few months but when the cool weather starts to hit this is going to see alot of mileage.  I never tried the other 101J on but I really have no problem with the arm hole size on this one.  I'll get pictures for everyone this week.

@Giles:

And the next sample….. the IH-101J-BLK (The Nate Newton Edition)........The "W" will be red in the production version.  Please note that this is hitherto unreleased selvedge 21oz Superblack denim (so non-fade, selvedge)....

Complete the form if you want an email when they hit…Please use IH-101J-BLK as "Item or Model Number"

This jacket is at risk.  Virtually no interest from retailers.  I'm gob-smacked…..

[Dion]

Dammit :(! Even if it was SBG instead of SB?

[Giles]

I don't know.  But I do know that if I have this little interest from retailers then I'd rather use this super special denim for something else….

[neph93]

Fark. I love everything about this. The cut, the hardware, the super black… I would have thought V&S at would have been all over it at the very least. I've actually put off buying other stuff because this was in the pipeline.

[Giles]

It may still be, but I am very on the fence atm….

[Max Power]

Would be a shame, it's a great jacket. Retailers are not always right

[Dion]

There are lots of SB-denim bottoms but only one jacket. Another one would be great… and an SBG-option in the future as well.

[Giles]

@Max:

Retailers are not always right

Exactly, but if they don't take many, then I have to take the balance of the minimum run of 60.  On a jacket that I have got 7 expressions of interest and grand total of 2 jackets ordered from retailers, I'd be pretty feckin crazy to go ahead.  I'm not saying I won't, but it's anything but a done deal….

[Jett129]

Also sorry/disappointed to hear that. Maybe the Lee jackets aren't as well known or appreciated as much as their Levis counterparts.
