@Giles:

@Chap Thanks, let's see how Rocket gets on first.  OK?  Don't want multiple people pissing them off

Of course. Just meant that rocket might try to call them, not me.

@Giles:

I know from my last dealings with them, language was an issue….

I loved to telephone with the family Kolesch for you! The samples they send were incredible lovely!

Doh, sorry…..

@Aetas Thank you.  I forgot that you had helped me out last time.  My bad.  Sorry.  Let's see how Rocket does…..Thanks again...

Nothing to say sorry about G.!
Everything what brings this Shacket to live, is the right choice!

@rocket
It was a wonderful lesson in german dialect.
It took over ten attempts by phone, to speak to Mr. Kolesch in person.
But even the chat with one of their Czech seamstresses was instructive, exciting and worthwhile.
I’ve send  them a photo of Haraki and the Shacket. I’m sure they’ll remember the project.

I had no idea how much of a group effort goes into some products!  You guys should write a note on how this went from an idea to a physical shirt and include it in the packaging

How the current generation of UHF's came about is a nice story.  We made a few way-back and they were very popular.  Then H just stopped making them.  After a few years hiatus, I asked him if we could start making them again.  His answer was no, the man who wove the UHF had moved to a new factory.  I suggested he contact the guy and see whether he could weave the same fabric at the new factory (I specialize in rocket-science).  So he did contact the guy, and guess what?  He could weave the same fabric at the new factory…..BOOM  Without wanting to generalise, the Japanese nation sometimes really struggle to think outside the box.  The guy had moved on, so it was impossible...

See, that's awesome!  I'm so glad you told that

It is a fixed mindset issue, which I how found to be prevent with many of the engineers I work with, like 1+1=2.  If “1” is not longer there, then there can be no “2” [emoji3166].  Math is easy to teach and learn, the rules are preset, just follow them (generally speaking, I don’t want the theoretical physicists throwing rocks at me).  But it is much harder to teach adaptability, or what I call dreamability.  Ok, so we want 2, but 1 no longer exists…. would it be possible to find a 4 and ask them to get rid of 3??  Maybe.... we could develop a 234 and somehow divide it by 117 [emoji2369].  Or is it possible to just create a 2 from nothing? [emoji2962].  It takes both the dreamer and the engineer to make a flying machine [emoji6]

Absolutely.  I still kick myself for not really noticing that we had stopped making them…..

You should probably focus on the bit where you did realise and got them going again.

And how…

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to swing one of those leather shirts but damn I’m gonna try.

Hey guys, any ETA on the storm rider or 14oz blanket-lined CPO?

Last I heard was late August for storm rider and I can't find any info on the CPO.  I'm pretty sure I didn't just dream it

Stormrider ETA is late Sept/early Oct. I don’t know about the CPO!

[Hematoma]

Sorry if I missed this, but what is the ETA on blackxblack Type IIs if they’re getting made?

[Giles]

They are being made.  I would guess that they will be ready in Dec.  Self Edge will have exclusivity for a few months…

Any update on the Stormrider???? Not that I have been patiently (totally impatiently) pacing back and forth on this one for like 2 years now [emoji1787] [emoji33][emoji3064]
