Very cool.

Always loved the look of Converse but never got on with them because relatively wide feet means artificially long shoes that end up looking like clowns shoes on my stumpy legs. Hopefully that won’t be an issue here.

Either way they look great. Really like the ribbed rubber around the sole and the branding on the heel.

EDIT: apologies for writing “ribbed rubber” so early in the morning. What is that really called?

Going by your vast amount of offspring, you definitely do not know the word for it, neither in English nor Norwegian…

I washed it at 60C, Alex said he had never seen so much indigo in the washing machine…..

I saw this shirt quite a bit, and it is BEAUTIFUL! The fabric is so dark, and it feels great to the hand. The double elbows are perfectly executed as well. Definitely hope to see more pieces constructed like this in the future.

*How will these be named, (not that it matters)? Just "Double Elbow Workshirts"?

*Sorry for quoting the pic… But, I felt it was necessary since I'm replying about it so late......

Any better suggestions?

I think that is exactly when pic quoting isn’t just ok, but actually a good thing.

Nope, lol! I was just wondering, that's all.

Any better suggestions?

Does the sleeve design have any provenance or heritage from a trade or practical application, or is it just double tough?

[Giles]

Certainly featured on some early 20th century (possibly late 19th century) shirts.  We did the same design on the IHSH-30 which did not sell very well, but I always liked the feature…..

[neph93]

I think it looks great and generally like the work shirt variations (single pocket, military stylings etc.) which seem easier to iterate than than western variations. I’ll do a google and see what I can find. Would be cool to give it an appropriate name.

I'd love double elbows on a hoodie.

^+1 here…American Giant does a double reinforced elbow hoodie and I really like those...

Re: IH sneakers

Any idea on the largest size for these?  I'm a UK12/US13, so I know to contain any excitement for now.

[Sage954]

Hell yes. I'm with @Joule  Please make a US13.

[Giles]

Haraki is only going up to 10 in Japan, he says that I may be able to go up to 11 or higher, but that really depends on what interest I get from retailers when I go for orders…..

I promise I will do what I can, but it may not happen....

@Sage954:

Hell yes. I'm with @Joule  Please make a US13.

[UnTucked]

Am I the only person who thought that these would look less cool than they actually do?

Seriously, the super black ones look better than Converse. Now, I've just gotta wait on a pair with black soles and duck uppers…..

one step after the other….
