IH-526V-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Type III Vest
-
The 20oz IH-SE TypeIII was such a kick in the dick to break in @25oz it's gotta be an exercise in pain. I was recently reminded of this when I washed it for the first time. Thought I'd washed it once before; turns out I had not. Surprise! :o

@tmg:
I know this has been raised multiple times over the years, but given the popularity and availability of this shirt, would you reconsider your position on deposit/pre-orders? I know I'd be happy to pay a significant deposit to secure something I wanted
No.
Here's why.
We ask for pre-orders, we get the following orders:
S - 3
M - 6
L - 8
XL - 8
XXL - 4We make those numbers and the sizing is a size too small.
We can thus fulfil:
XS - 3
S - 6
M - 8
L - 8
XL - 4
XXL - 0So to avoid pissing people off (and I can tell you now, you would be a lot more pissed off with us if you had pre-ordered and then we could not fulfil), we have to over order, to ensure we can fulfil if the sizing comes out too large or too small.
So we get left with stock that we do not want, which means our cost base goes up and puts pressure on our prices across the board.
Anyone who says they can do pre-orders with clothing and not either piss customers off or increase their stock levels is talking through their arse.

Sorry, didn’t mean to create work, I’ve many many IH products and know that I’ve never seen a deposit scheme but was just asking on the off chance as I don’t want to miss out.
Getting in there on drop day is part of the game I reckon. These are seasonal so they will sell out. Watch this space.

I got this patch for the back of the vest. I am also looking into getting a couple thousand pyramid studs made out of brass, or carbon steel so I can blue them with gun blue. I think gun blue colored studs on this epic vest would be pretty sick.

Oh man I hope am I am lucky enough to score it and there's not a feeding frenzy and I miss it. It's so awesome. Thanks @Dion

I also almost forgot about that. I think I need it, even though I will never become a fan of the copper snaps and am not rich enough for good art pimping. Are them snaps now the final choice?

Pointless?
), I'll have to pass, most likely
