      I think that much of the lack of demand for the blanket and sherpa lined product was more of a sizing issue than anything else.

      I am talking to H about a blanket lined Type III, properly sized, when I meet with him in a month.

        It's hard to be definitive as to why item XYZ didn't sell. Sometimes the measurements are off, or some other features turn people off. Over several models, I suppose it can different.

          Yeah, some of them seemed odd. Ironically the IH-533 has measurements similar to the newer modified type III’s but at the time must have seemed off.

            I'm listening  😉

            CPO in everything.  It's that simple.

            But especially an artic camo (blue/white/grey) or urban camo (white/grey/black) CPO.  I know camo doesn't sell, but I can still dream.

              I can't wait for that hat. It would look excellent with a silver snap on top.

                  We have 15 here.  We have an additional 20 going out to retailers, and we also have a load on back-order, which will arrive in 2-3 months.

                    Are the hats fairly deep? Ive got a decent sized head and some hats I have ordered over the years don’t fit great.

                    These are looking really nice, hopefully Ill get one the first round. If not go for the restock

                      Thanks, Giles. Sounds like I’ll be able to get my hands on one sooner or later [emoji6]

                        Hats look great, guessing they are 'one-size-fits-all' ?

                              @Giles I'm a sucker for a cool hat.

                              when can we expect the page for this so we can see the fine details?

                                    I think we have to accept that a lot of what we like won’t get made, ever, however perfect it might seem to us.

                                    On the other hand things change. Blanket lining was unpopular a few years ago but the masses like it now. CPO’s seem a big deal for folks now, they weren’t anywhere near as interesting recently. The other big change is work shirts which have finally come into their own. So you never know.

                                    I thing predicting these sea changes, reacting to the market and staying original is a job many would like to think we’d be good at but we’d most likely suck at. The crew at IH are probably best suited to making those decisions, by dint of years of experience and getting things right (and wrong earlier).

                                    With regards to marketing, the changes there are also massive at IH but even with some pretty great strategies and a range of platforms, some things will fail to capture the imagination and do so.

                                    Agreed. IHUK has grown by leaps and bounds compared to 10 yrs ago, so what may not have sold back then could potentially sell now….or not. I think, too, that with IHUK being more accessible by means of new vendors it makes it a little easier for people to buy that cool UHF that might've sold out at IHUK. Point being, trends change and buying habits change. The difficulty in trying to capture sales is that we all have different tastes.
