Hey G, I know it's a ways off but any rumblings from H about shorts for S/S. Mine are going to be shot by the end of this season and I'm trying to decide if I should pick up some end of season deals now or wait for an IH in the spring.

No rumbles from Hachioji, I'll ask H when he is here next week….

[Dstauffer]

Thank you, much appreciated.

He posted these back at the end of July

Those were a Japanese only release. We were using up some sub standard denim. It was easier to make shorts from it than trousers….

[Dstauffer]

I am more curious as to non-denim material…

Have you considered chicken-legging some 814's. They make amazing shorts.

[Dstauffer]

I have but no patterns/colors im thrilled about…push comes to shove I'll likely take this route though

Wondering if 21oz jeans can be force stretched 3 inches or so in the waist ?

[BloodnThunder]

I feel like I've seen someone attempt to do this on these boards before.  I would imagine 3" is venturing into the realm of permanently damaging the fabric to get that much stretch though.

[Giles]

I would think that would be a recipe for disaster….

And it does actual not make any sense at all. There are a bunch of different cuts to choose from, to find one without the need to try this… what I'm sure as well, will end with a disaster...

^that too.  They would definitely be nut pinchers.

Is there any timeframe for the 888S od available yet?

[Giles]

None whatsoever…..Have not given it a seconds thought.....They will happen, but not for months...

[Jett129]

Just curious any Katherine Ryan fans. She's my new favorite female comedian. She'll be in Portsmouth in November.

I've been wearing the 888S for a few weeks and love the new cut. I sized up slightly (size 36) for a more relaxed fit, but a size 35 would have been more TTS. Will the upcoming restock include the "unusual" size 35 or will the size 35 go away after the initial stock is sold out? Thanks.

[Giles]

We will def continue making the 35's….
