Well I'll be damned…

Hmmm… «In Haraki-san we trust» I guess...?

[Giles]

Alex and I have not seen it yet.  When H told us yesterday I had to look at my watch to check it was not April 1st.  H says there is a small amount of Lycra in the weft but that the warp is a "normal" IH like indigo yarn.  He says the face of the denim looks just like Iron Heart and he is very pleased with it.  I think we will see it today…

Wow. Christmas came early, this year.

@ROman:

It all looks great. Any word on the IH-527J-SAM Many thanks.

We will ask tomorrow when we meet H&Tom in Shibuya

Thank you Alex and G I appreciate your time and effort.

[Alex]

Sneak peaks…

[Broark]

Blue and white ombré.  ???

[Dstauffer]

So many possibilities in that overview pic….

The two piece immediately peaking my interest are the camo piece on the left and the sweater on the right.

Although, I’m sure as more “sneak peaks” pop up, the items I will be interested in...

Oh man those ombres are amazing …

Blue/ white ombré 
Reindeer sweater 

[dylantbmayes]

From memory all the racking on the right wall is reference material, not product samples.

It's a fun and funny rack to flick through, some very 'interesting' pieces in there haha

Might have to wait for that reindeer sweater, @Seul

[Alex]

Yup, sorry @Seul

Great thread. Stretch denim.. I love anything IH but im
Surprised.

[Megatron1505]

Blue and white hombre and the return of the Freddy Krueger IHTB-01 

[Giles]

The stretch denim is amazing.  It uses the same warp as the 21oz selvedge denim and a weft that is very similar, but a shade lighter.  The end result is a denim that weighs about 19.5oz and looks (on the face) almost exactly the same as our 21oz indigo selvedge denim.

And does it really stretch…?  ???

[Giles]

Yep, there is a small amount of lycra spun into the weft yarns
