      90% of our denim garments are one-washed.

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

        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?

          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...

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

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

                So I was wrong. Glad I asked, then. 🙂

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

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

                    Think it, be it.

                      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......

                                          A "desert island" picks thread for music (or books, films, IH gear, etc) is a great idea. I always struggle with those things though.

                                          I do like Giles' picks though. I have not yet watched the Velvet Underground doc on Apple TV but I very much look forward to doing so. I have seen Bloc Party once at First Ave in Minneapolis and they were fantastic. They closed the show (since they were in MN and First Ave) with a stellar rendition of "I Would Die 4 U"  This was before Prince's tragic and premature death.

                                          Think it, be it.
