There's no Such Thing as a Stupid Question

[Giles]

Most collabs are my idea.

Criteria:

Company has integrity
Company has similar ethos
Company has a product or could have a product that marries well with our product range
I can deal with the actual person who makes the decisions
We both benefit equally from the relationship

Yes we have been approached by companies who I have turned down.

And, Haraki has asked me to sort out collabs with companies and I have refused because I felt for whatever reason, it was not a good idea.  Haraki is happy to leave the decisions up to me…..

@Alex:

Which colour 162?

The indigo 162. Sorry. It’s the whitish stitching I’m referring to. It seems a bit Silverish as well. Thanks alex

[Alex]

Do you mean the 62? The wabash western? The 162 is a black or olive CPO

[Matty123]

Yes, sorry I don’t know how that 1 got in there. I

You

[Matty123]

Thanks Al. Have a good night bud. Apparently there is such a thing as a stupid question

[gaseousclay]

here's a daft question, for overdyed product is the fabric dyed first and then sewn, or is it sewn first and then given an overdye bath? I'm assuming it's the latter.

Made into a garment and then dunked.  That is why the hardware looks so beaten up….

Wasnt there something like an annual winter sale between Christmas and New Year or did that just happen in my imagination?

It’s happened once or twice that a load of gear has been placed on “Special” at this time, but Specials don’t happen anymore and it was never a permanent thing.

With the Outlet closed throughout December and re-opening early in January you can probably expect some good deals then.

[Giles]

Everything we do happens in your and our imagination.  When you (or we) can predict what we are going to do, we've failed….

[Steffen]

That sounds so magical, love you guys.

Didn’t want to derail the exciting sneakers announcement on the samples thread, so I’ll ask here… Are 888XHS a distant pipe dream?

[Giles]

We may do at some point, but I have a load of stuff going on with new denims at the moment….

Where is this sneaker convo? I checked samples and planned products and didn’t see it…
