The double indigo is never to be made or just not in time for next year?!

[Giles]

It will be made…..May even be for next year.....I'm thinking more likely 14oz than 21 or heavier.....

[Jett129]

If it’s 14OZ,then maybe you can do a second 14OZ Western. I think the first one was pretty well received.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

How about 18? Also I really love the extra details on the PIH15AN and how they fit after being factory washed. They literally are the best fitting jeans I have ever owned.

[Giles]

It's in Haraki's hands and I won't try and influence it (other than requesting indigo/indigo) - it'll be what it'll be…

Well, the good news is that the same cut (888) but without the Pronto specific details, will be released soon....

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I meant for the double indigo theoretically sometime in the future. I've seen other brands do a raw and also a once washed option before. I would 100 percent buy once washed from now on if it was available and even if it was more expensive than the raw option was.

[Giles]

90% of our denim garments are one-washed.

And I meant the weight of the indigo/indigo is in Haraki's hands….

[Chris]

I'm guessing the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway- did the IH-315 sell well enough to justify future khaki chambray shirts?

[Giles]

It sold really well and we are rerunning it at the moment.  Should be ready in late December….But, we used up the remainder of that particular fabric, so we will need to look for alternatives for future iterations...

[SKT]

Will there be a work shirt variation of the khaki chambray?

[Giles]

Not in the imminent future because we have used all the fabric up on the rerun of the 315

[Chris]

So I was wrong. Glad I asked, then.

Hmmm, a slubby 634 and a khaki chambray shirt for Christmas(ish)…

I mostly wear XHS and UHR so…

What defines a “Classic” versus a “Crazy” Check? Haraki?

[Giles]

No idea.  I guess Classic is what he thinks is classic, and I am pretty sure I coined the term Crazy Check, but it is now lost in the mists of time….I think we had an "Almost Crazy Chack" once too......

[Giles]

Yeah, we did…..

While we should all be sensitive to mental health issues, we could introduce a new taxonomy for UHF patterns…

Slightly Loopy Check
Fairly Deranged Check
Borderline Psychotic Check
Utterly F**king Mental Check etc... etc...

[Giles]

Bat-Shit Crazy Check…..

What's @Haraki-san's favorite (vintage) motorcycle?

Don’t forget the 156s though.

No Check At All
