IHJ-69 - 14W Corduroy Modified Type III - Black, Chocolate and Khaki

[Chris]

After all my years on this forum, I've come to the conclusion that anticipatory excitement has virtually no correlation to sales.

I would not be surprised if most of these ended up in the clearance bin.  Nor would I be surprised if they all sold out in the first 24 hours…

I agree with @gaseousclay and @DrBabyhorse . Given the history of corduroy, I would hate for this to be the final nail in the coffin forever. Plus, who knows what will happen in terms of demand once the measurements are posted…remember the Kanreki and all the demand and "forms filled" and after the measurements were posted, they did not move like the previous interest seemed to indicate they would.

I think if they sell out this time around, it will spawn an extant status and/or other colorways...remember what happened with the 180 and how there are the prospects of some really awesome colorways coming next fall?

Either way, has to be a tricky tightrope to walk for G and the crew in terms of ordering in advance...

Yep. It's easier for us to ask why there isn't more inventory because it's not our money at risk. Giles has to gauge demand, order months in advance and take a financial risk (despite the enthusiasm) which i'm sure is no easy feat. Makes me think of the ihj-61 which got positive responses but hasn't sold out.

Black is definitely my first choice. Just hoping,like everyone else,that the measurements work out for me.

Oookay .. phew … sounds good!

Good to have the retailers as a back-up, seeing as IH have so few.

Always a good thing.

[Jett129]

Also good just in case you need to try one on.

[gaseousclay]

I think @Giles said that SE only picked up black. Dont know about the other retailers

That is a list of all retailers who are taking any IHJ-69, not a list of those taking all of them, no. In fact, I am not sure anyone (apart from us) is taking all three but I cannot remember

@Alex @Giles

Are you still on target for an early March release for the ihj-69?
