Japan November 2017 - Alex and Giles

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

[Dion]

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.

@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…

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

I quite like the shirt pocket “w”

@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....

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...

[Dstauffer]

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.

Go to the top of the class….

[Broark]

That indigo cotton/linen sawtooth has me drooling.  ???

[steelworker]

@Giles:

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

Me! Me! That was me!!! 

[Dstauffer]

Right on. Thanks again for bringing this back in a modified version. Here’s hoping it sells better than last time…which I think it will

There’s certainly a lot of momentum on here. Lots of people calling out for it, myself included, for the past year or two.

Our flight home leavea Haneda at 2:45am (yes you read that right)…..

Worked until late and then went to meet @obbigood for beer and yakitori.  I'm not a great one for food photos (especially not around Johnny who said to me years ago "taking fucking photos of food - it's the new way of saying Grace".

But I did…..

Can you make an omelette with this many perfect layers?

Scotch egg tokyo Styley….

[Giles]

@Dstauffer:

Between 0 and 10, most will be sub 5

[Giles]

I picked up the tab after the 3 of us had eaten enough to render us virtually immobile and enough to drink to take the edge off 6 hour wait for the flight.

USD80 the lot

Who says Tokyo is expensive?  You could not eat shite in Gospit for twice that…..

[Seul]

Cheap as effin chips… That omelette alone is worth 80$... 

[David_pll]

Craving a scotch egg right now, very jealous!

[Giles]

[Matty123]

Have a safe flight gles. Great thread.

….Hope you don’t have to use the airplane toilet after that meal
