Japan November 2017 - Alex and Giles

[Chap]

@Giles:

We are sampling a new slim fit ladies cut in 21oz indigo…..

Mrs Chap is interested. Her favorite boots are engineers but she wants to wear her jeans stuffed in so needs a very tapered cut with a tight hem.

[Chap]

@Giles:

Yep, that's clotted cream…..

…and was the reason why the three of us had a fitting problem when we returned from the UK last time

[Dstauffer]

This thing just went from my “maybe” column to my “definitely” column

[Giles]

People who have visited Japan will know just how easy it is to accumulate large amounts of shrapnel.

Sorted…..

[dylantbmayes]

You're collecting them now? Doesn't seem practical when out and about

[Giles]

I've always got my rucsac with me….

[Giles]

In any other (bad) news…...We have managed to stave off price rises for ages, expect to see some price re-adjustments as we sort out SS18 pricing....

[Manticore]

Halfway between Japan and the UK for Iron Heart Racing? LA is a good fit for that… call me if you need a guy on the ground...

[Giles]

Thank you Manticore….

Looks a very similar ombre pattern and fabric to the outer layer of the IHSH-105. Very nice.

[neph93]

Having said that, I'll correct myself as I've just seen this on the boss's FB and while the pattern is similar, the fabric seems to have more character. It's lovely whatever…

^ nice shirt

[Giles]

Both the light blue and the dark blue yarns are indigo dyed.

[Giles]

Did I hear someone say indigo dyed linen/cotton herringbone twill sawtooth?

I don’t think anyone did, but you could hear me shout «WOW» about five doors down when I saw this [emoji7] (Also love the stitched W).

@Giles:

Both the light blue and the dark blue yarns are indigo dyed.

That would explain the frankly very sexy looking texture.

I can tell that today is going to be awesome and intimidating in equal measure…

The OG blue hombres had a heavily brushed texture, these look unbrushed.

I'm guessing that brushing indigo dyed flannel fabric probably isn't a great idea if you want the indigo to stick around?

[Max Power]

Also I think it's great to have some unbrushed Shirts, like the SH 38 and the 170.

I like the red W better than the IH tag on shirts.

[neph93]

Not sure the red W works on everything and the tag is a tasteful bit of branding imho, but when the red W works on a shirt (as it does here) it’s bloody beautiful.
