      Maybe Mad Black in 25oz in 555 for end of the year..

      I'm thinking that it is unlikely Mo.  The overdyeing process is getting more and more expensive.

        Not at the moment, but we may be persuaded…..

        I feel like it is time to revisit some kind of double indigo.

        I like what your putting down. I had both cuts before and foolishly sold them…

        That last round of indigo/indigo XHS was for Pronto, on the Pronto cuts, and done a few years ago. I think using the same process on some core IH cuts would be a grand idea.

        I had a pair ordered and paid for, then bottled it on sizing at the last minute. Still regret doing that.

          634-XHS Indigo/Indigo would be an instant purchase for me [emoji106][emoji106][emoji41][emoji41]

            Didn't sell 🙂

            Ah, I see, the 816DD… no idea why they didn’t sell. I would’ve purchased those in a nanosecond... a vision ahead of its time I suppose [emoji2369]

              Yup, sizing was my reason for selling both also.  I guess we both have Pronto regrets[emoji38]

              Bring on core cuts in indigo x indigo

                I think that goes for both the double indigo duck, and the 18oz SII double indigo denim.

                        Is overdying a complicated process?  Or would IHUK be able to set up an overdying process in the UK?  Thinking if it could be an option for customers to have their clothes overdyed at IHUK, so those customers who want overdying can pay extra for it?

                        Just brainstorming here, have no idea what the process demands in labour or equipment.

                          My understanding is that it shrinks garments a lot so would likely be a hideous process to retrospectively die something and retain/obtain desired sizing (glorious fucking idea though I must say).

                              It's massively capital intensive, requires a shit load of water, which needs to be cleaned after use (which is one of the reasons it is getting more and more expensive), and even after cleaning, that water cant just be chucked down a domestic drain, there is a large amount of wastage (garments getting wrecked in the OD process), and after all that the patches have to be sewn on and the garments ironed.

                              We lost a whole run of jeans once, this is a savage process, which is why the result of our overdyeing is probably better than anyone else out there.

                                  It was more or less done a few years back in a beautiful olive herringbone.

                                      There has been a brown, black and blue cotton duck earlier. Never an olive. I’d like that too.

                                      The olive herringbone was sublime though.

                                          Nice mock up. Unfortunately what makes it unlikely to happen is that it would require a whole new run of the fabric. That would be a lot of fabric, and a lot of pants.  Probably more than one could reasonably expect to sell.

                                          A few years back Haraki-san designed and produced a beautiful indigo dyed herringbone it was made into work pants, shirts, vests… but for whatever reason it wasn’t very popular and the products made from it had weak sales. The risk with a new fabric/color is great.

                                            understand, thank you @neph93. there is obviously much more effort and complexity producing these high quality garments than one can imagine.
