IHAS-01 Deerskin Western Shirt

[Giles]

Message direct (well through a translator) from the tanner:

By the way: you can wash the deerskin in the  machine ( like a wool pullover)
Afterwards you have to move it a little over the edge of a table or  back of a  chair, to make it a little softer again.

no problems with shape-loss?

mind you I have a pair of Hestra deerskin gloves and they got washed accidently and survived pretty well!

[Giles]

According to the tanner, no shape loss at alll…...........

thanks G

loving it - just had a worry it might have been a bit Chamois-like if you see what I mean . . . washable but stretchable; so this is good stuff

personally if I can afford it when it arrives then I might just repeat the (armani jacket) non-wash route - and keep this info up my sleeve (sorry  ;)) for emergencies

[Giles]

I was talking to a guy who has a pair of jeans made in this stuff (yes, I'm already getting a sample made…...............) He has worn them all winter for the last 5 years.  No shape loss......

ok ok - you've sold me!

if Haraki ever takes his off - he should post up pics

G,

If you had to take an educated guess, is the IHAS01 6 months out or sooner? I've got a 9526v in my sight but… you know...!

[Giles]

Sooner.  I would guess 3 months max

[leftofthedial]

i want this more than any clothing item that i've wanted in a LONG time. i'm guessing the price point is gonna be through the roof though…

[Giles]

Update.  We are just tweaking the cut and the placement of pockets.

Apart from black, these will be the colour options.

From left to right:

Antique Light, Sand, Antique Dark, Brown, Olive Drab.

+1!!!

[Beatle]

Despite the fact that I just broke my camera and needed to spend money that wasn´t planned for - gonna have to start saving for this…

[Beatle]

I like what I am seeing on Boss Talk..

[Giles]

Yup,  I'll up with Will@Aero any day now to talk through the final tweaks….........

[Just_KC]

man, this looks awesome. hopefully it doesn't cost an arm or a leg!

[Geo]

maybe get a discount if it's an arm though . . .

[Giles]

No subtle way of putting this.

These WILL cost an arm and a leg.  We have to use 4 skins for each shirt.
