That blue/white ombre

If you need a guinea pig for the women’s slim cut, I’m certain Lori would love to try them out and provide feedback. [emoji13]

Thank you for your kind offer @Lori

Awesome news about IH Racing. Can't wait to see what y'all come up with. As for the stretch denim, I'm through the roof. Eagerly awaiting the new cut, too. I'm skeptical of "women's" cuts, for the most part, as they are almost never available in my size, or inseam, but a big western girl can dream.

@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.

Hey, @Giles , a heavy weight Stretch denim but with old school look and fit will be really amazing. I did suggest something like that a few months back. I am sure you will be making slim and skinny fits with that kind of cloth, but if are making straight fits like 634 or beatle busters it will be really cool.

I am also hoping that the stretch factor would be just a little bit to make the denim even more comfortable but not too much.

@Giles:

It will be a Joint Venture between IHJP and IHUK and HQ'd somewhere approx equidistant between Japan and UK  :-X.

Huh.  I wouldn't have expected Norilsk, Russia to be the ideal spot, but what do I know?

The blue ombre looks great. Is it uhf or medium weight?

@tokyoGringo took us to a rubbish sashimi restaurant last night

[Giles]

That platter was USD20 - can you believe that?  The restaurant is 4 minutes walk from the Airbnb that we are in and will 100% most definitely be revisited….

[Chris]

That was twenty bucks?  Damn.

Which denim is Haraki-San wearing there? He favors the 634 right?

He is wearing the "Boss Cut" made from 21oz indigo selvedge denim. This is a pair he made for himself years ago and are his favoured jeans to wear with sneakers. They are a mild bootcut but based on the 634S with selvedge outseam detailing.  We will release them as a standard production jean next year…
