@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.

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 …

Reindeer sweater

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.

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

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

[UnTucked]

Will there be a new "skinnier" cut to maximize this denim?

I really need to get Maddy in some IH, and get stipulations were "stretch" and "skinny/sex

Also, even if that exact sweater isn't in the lineup, I'm excited. I've been asking for IH knitwear for at least 2 years

So, here is the gig with the stretch denim.  We are starting a new brand/business, working name - Iron Heart Racing.  It will be aimed at the new generation of sportier Harley (and of course, other) riders.  It will launch some time H1 2018.  It will be a Joint Venture between IHJP and IHUK and HQ'd somewhere approx equidistant between Japan and UK  :-X.  This denim and other amazing new fabrics will initially be used in the new range….

Paula, Haraki and I started talking about this 6 months ago, when H was in the UK for my Kanreki, we moved discussions forward, Alex, Haraki and I fleshed it out today...

Excited Moi?
