      A brick red/maroon/burgundy would look great as well actually.

        You’re on to something with a green wabash. That would make one hell of a good shirt. I’ve seen a burgundy wabash somewhere a long time ago and it didnt do it for me.

          I’ve been thinking lately how nice a super dark green wabash western might look.

          I’m not sure which brand it was (Pike Brothers, perhaps?) but I saw a moss green wabash vest at B&S a few years ago. Not my style or cut but the fabric was gorgeous. A green or brown base for IH wabash would be killer.

          Mmmmmmmm brown wabi (insert drool emoji)

            Happened to come across a Vintage Levis Type II that had the sleeeves taken off,and was being worn as a vest. I thought that’s a cool idea. It was the sleeve length that kept me out of the most recent iterations.

              Have you ever considered revisiting wool beach cloth? I know IH released the IHV-09 awhile back but i'm curious what other products could be made with this fabric.

                  There was a jacket made at the same time. CPO’s and different jacket cuts would be options. It seems to be having a moment again. I’m seeing a lot of it flying around on social media. I love my IHV-09.

                    That's what I figured. I saw that Taylor Stitch had a beach cloth vest and parka and I also came across a Sugar Cane first zip beach cloth jacket that looked kinda cool. The question is, what new garment could IH make with beach cloth that hasn't already been done, or that wouldn't look out of place?

                      Zip up jackets or vests would be pretty cool. The IHV-09 was a classic beach cloth work vest design and the jacket was also old school.  Something a little more modern and bad ass with a zip would be nice and maybe a bit more IH too.

                        I always thought that Brown's was a bit out of synch with the normal IH aesthetic and more in line with Mister Freedom, Freewheelers, and the like. It seems like Brown's got super popular for a while and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. I know H is independent, so I'm not saying that's what happened, but I'd hope for something that perhaps stole the snap patch pockets and then used other designs and fabrics to get it out of that early 20th century vibe.

                        Think it, be it.

                          I’m not sure it’s necessarily a contradiction to the workwear side of IH. BB had its roots in outdoor and work gear so from that standpoint it fits. However, I can appreciate what you mean about it also being a heritage fabric. For me,the  IHV-09 is an excellent piece and layers well even with UHFs. The shawl coat I liked a lot but in the end, it was a little over the top. Not an Ih piece but I have an MA-1 in blue BB fabric and it’s a cool, subdued take on a classic jacket. So it does seem to lend itself to modern cuts.

                          That being said, I think a cardigan in Brown’s would be cool but I’m an old man at heart.

                            Yeah, and I guess the fact that IH has fabrics like duck, hickory stripe, and wabash directly contradicts my point, but then again, the duck is usually much heavier than I'd expect period fabric to have been, and the Wabash is truly a novel fabric (both generations) that wouldn't have existed back then, and delivered in forms like snap shirts that were not around either.

                            It seems he usually puts some kind of twist on heritage influences, and I didn't see it with the Brown's stuff–but then again, I never saw it in person either.

                            Think it, be it.

                                I've got one.  Can you guys add like 2 inches to the sweatshirt length?  I'm not even very tall but my IHSW-10-GR tends to end right at my belt line and they're not very fitted so it looks odd, like I'm hula-hooping with a hoodie 🙂

                                Blanket-line all the things!!!

                                  Sweat tops tend to be far too short for my torso as well.

                                    I too have issues with all cut and Sewns being short.

                                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                                        We are trying to get this done on a lot of cut and sewn.

                                        Here's the first - this was easy because they are western only and we ordered shitloads…

                                        We aim to do it with more T's and also sweatshirts, but some things just take a lot of time when dealing with the Japanese.  We first talked to Haraki about this over a year ago....

                                        Patience is a virtue....
