IHD-01 - Special G Denim Version

[zhivago]

monday I am in total agreement, how did this one ever get shelved, it's just such a perfect piece of IH gear.  It would be a true shame if it never came to be. Can we all cross our collective fingers and make this happen please!

Monday - Beat up on Haraki if we meet tonight…...........

[madmonday]

didn't get a chance to beat up on Haraki about this, sorry zhivago.

when i inquired about why it wasn't going into  production, the process was explained so poetically i just had to gracefully bow out of the fight

well thanks for trying and knowing when to not try harder, that is a quality I really appreciate in people.

OK.  It was a massive disappointment that the factory can't make this out of the 18oz raw denim.

But I took to wearing my sample again this weekend (It has been up at Aero for a few months).

Wearing is again made me understand just how versatile this shirt/jacket is.

So I came up with Plan B…..

Make it out of the raw 12oz denim that we use for IHSH-27:

Still use the nice oversized snaps (or perhaps the mother of pearl ones we used on IHSH-37).

What do you reckon?

[Just_KC]

looks great. any chance there will be an over dyed version?

[Giles]

Could be, depends on what feedback I get…..

So at that point it's basically a IHSH-27 with slash pockets right? Or would the chest pockets or snaps (buttons?) be different?

Just expanding the discussion here, what about the TW denim from the type II? Not 18 oz, but not 12 oz either…

[Giles]

Basically the same, but longer and with slash pockets.  Now that is a really good idea to use the 13,5 oz…..............

[Beatle]

backing up the 13oz version, still heavy enough

and also backing up an od version…

[TinMan]

You know I love the the TW denim +1 on the 13.5 oz, it would be very cool!!

Now I love me some TW denim, but possessing the IHSH-27, the IHW-01, and the TWHRII, along with a heavy flannel and the sweat parka, I wouldn't be all that excited about an IHD-01.

That said, line the overshirt with some flannel or cotton drill, then I would have to think about it. But that's just me.

[Beatle]

not just you, love the flannel lined idea

Yes to fleece, flannel, or sherpa lined

[Giles]

You guys…...Just don't want to make it easy for me do you?................

[fobsquad]

YESSSS pls do the IHSH-27 denim with pockets
and i'm for larger snaps like -27 rather than mother of pearl (though ive never seen them)
personally, i wouldn't want mine fleece/flannel lined…but thats me

considering how much i love/wear my IHW-01, i'm peeing my pants waiting for this IHD-01

[Katsushin]

You guys are seriously on to something with this flannel lined business…

[Seul]

Flannel lined - fuck yeah!..

[elclintor]

Lined!

Quite the contrary G - we're doing the work for you, you just fill out that special form when we're done here and ask Haraki to go.

Now, I think Beatle has seen some unique flannels recently that she liked…
