Samples - New Products We Are Working On

@Paul9221:

I've been working on the assumption that we are talking about brown duck for the 888.

Good assumption…..

@Alex:

We have a few tweaks before this goes to production…

Obviously this will need testing in an arctic environment before the final specs are decided. Just send it up here when you’re ready… [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Don’t you see the colour? You can get lost with all that snow… would look much better in green styrian hills

It's doing well in Gosport thanks…...

It's Polar Bear white. Get him on a sled north to see the lights and hope for the best, I say!.. (Although they might not be able to get through the leather…)

I just went under the shower in it.  After about 3 minutes, the inside was still dry, I had to take it off to get it wet through…..

It’s a five hour flight to get to polar bear country from where I live. But i’m willing to do it…. for science.  And the greater good.

The cat seems to have an interest too…

[Giles]

He obviously likes horses…..

Are you all making this leather jacket with Simmons Bilt, @giles? It looks like the one I have that they made, but the side pockets are different. Either way, that type of leather is amazing. It ages brilliantly; it just needs a lot of sun.

[neph93]

Those duck daps are divine.

[Giles]

Yes, we are doing with Simmons Bilt and the leather is in all probability the same.  The sample is the Guile King:

In the natuaral horsehide.

We're in fevered internal debate as to whether we keep the production run pretty much as per the sample or whether we change the whole concept to a natty HH version of this….

[neph93]

If it was up to me I’d stick with the Guile King. Anything with that leather needs to be cut sexy.

[xtcclassic]

I agree. The less boxy the better. Also the slimmer upper arms the better. IMHO.

[Giles]

If we stick with the GK, I'm going to move the arm zippers.  When I originally conceived of the GK, I wanted zippers, but I wanted them very unobtrusive, so I put them at the back of the sleeve.  Worked a dream when we made the GK out of Goat, but in the HH, they are really fucking annoying where they are  ??? ???
