Touché

Let me specify - “how does the IH brown duck canvas appear once dipped in indigo?” [emoji12]

Wondering if it actually turns blue or has more of a persimmon appearance. My IHJ-46 is fading so nicely in the creases, I’m intrigued by how an indigo dipped version would look..

Gustin did some indigo dyed persimmon a while back. Here’s a link.

Anyone from the US willing to help me (and my boss) out?.. Preferably in CA… It involves (baby) palmtrees... Receiving and shipping them to me... My boss found a place but they don't ship to €urope... I would say with good reason, cause how is a small plant going to survive the trip, but hey... 

[ROman]

Not sure if this is possible. I know when I travel over the pond, on the custom forms they ask if you are carrying anything probably produce, not sure about a small tree. I know on numerous occasions I have carried plants to South America, probably illegally.

[Seul]

I thought they were small plants - they are not… He was talking 120lbs trees... I provided him with the intel that USPS wouldn't do that, but UPS would for a cool 500€ (I really did look it up)...

He then responded "he would probably find them in €urope"...  ::)

[rocket]

yeah I am sure he can buy them here, lol

[Seul]

For 500€ I can get him a toe… Or a plant... Whatever...

You want a toe? I can get you a toe dude.

Not sure there is enough correlative data to really say (Or if you guys are even at the liberty of saying), but I would love to know what the best selling (In terms of Volume) Iron Heart was in 2017.

Obviously we know there were some items that sold out rather fast, but the total volume was low. I'm wondering about total number of items sold. I know it used to be the 634s, but wonder what it is now.

[Megatron1505]

My bet would still be the 634S.

[Chris]

Same.

Sales have been cannibalized somewhat by other models, but it's still a huge seller.  If I remember correctly, Giles once said it outsold the next most popular item by a factor of 2:1.

[Giles]

I'll need to run some numbers.  I am on a plane tonight, I'll try and do it then…

[Appfaff]

@Giles - no rush, and hate to make anyone do anything extra just to find out. Just wondered how the trend was moving or staying the same.

Have a safe flight!

[Giles]

On plane and only have data going back to Oct.

Of total major jeans family sales.

Bear in mind we have been out of 888's, so the data is not as accurate as it could be….

777 - 30%
634 - 26%
666 - 20%
888 - 12%
555 - 11%

[Dion]

That's very interesting as I thought the 555 would be a tad more popular.

[Giles]

Here's the rub.  The 634 and the 666 are generally always available in Japan for us to pull in when we need them.  The other cuts are not available continually, so there are periods when we just can't satisfy demand, so the results are skewed towards the "generally available" cuts.

I have agreed with H, that we will stock the 21oz indigo versions of the 777, 555 and 888 on a constant basis in Kojima, so that should help us to be out of stock less….

[Appfaff]

Very interesting!

Love that 777.

[manufc10]

When I can get the thighs and rise right I love the 777 as well.  555 is probably my least favorite IH cut…I just don't get it lol.
