Samples - New Products We Are Working On

They max out at UK 11, I am afraid….

Lovely–duck and white go together beautifully.

Interesting that the heel appears to be twill while the rest of the upper is plain woven. Is there a reason for that?

That is weird. It does look like twill, but it shouldn’t be because then it wouldn’t be duck. Perhaps the pattern running perpendicular to the rest of the upper, plus the camera angle, create that impression?

I am with Neph on that, though I think H is sending us a sample to look at, so I will know for sure soon….

I’d scoop these up! Love the color! Nice alternative to my black ones.

I think the strip up the back of the heel is twill tape. That's pretty common in this type of shoe.  The edges of the tape don't fray and the fabric doesn't need to be tucked under, which creates extra bulk.

PF Flyers do it consistently.

@Chris  you sexy, sexy barsteward. That is surely the answer. If it isn’t it should be.

[Giles]

That's a good explanation….

[mclaincausey]

It sounds like a good explanation, though that looks like grosgrain on the PF Flyer and I'm not sure that twill wouldn't fray the same as duck with an unfinished edge?

Every once in a while, I'm good for something…

Coming to a few pairs of duck jeans near you soon….

Thanks @Steve

These are really cool. Those 888s will have to be mine.

Theoretical ETA for the 888D?  Summer?  Fall?

[Alex]

1st sample is not even complete yet, so would be pure speculation. Fall more likely I guess

We have a few tweaks before this goes to production…

Spectacular!

Trying to come up with some clever superlative to say about that jacket. In the mean time,that’s about as beautiful of a leather jacket as you’ll ever see.

I've been working on the assumption that we are talking about brown duck for the 888. Is that the case?  Or is it indigo?  I'm game for both but brown would be my first choice.

Ho. Ly. Shit.
