        @Dstauffer:

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

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

          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…

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

                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?

                        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.

                            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.

                              Looks really similar at the 38! Brilliant! Classy checks[emoji1305]

                                  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....

                                  Any idea of the percentage hike? It almost doesn’t matter, I’m hooked…at this point I’m committed to two corduroy jackets, an indigo 16 (possibly a natural, but I have messy kids so that might be a pass for me given the process of keeping it clean), and an indigo ombré...

                                    G, any idea of the quantity you will be taking of the corduroy jackets?

                                    I know in some of the circles I talk with here on the forum, there is excitement/interest in this release, but that may not be indicative of your broader customer base.

                                    I guess I am trying to prepare myself for a possible bun fight and for this thing and the prospect of missing out on it due to quantity vs demand…

                                      We wont work out our order numbers until we have spoken to the retailers, who will have until the end of the month to indicate their interest.
