@motojobobo:

Is Melton a specific wool or weave?

It is a wool that comes from one tubby, grumpy sheep named Melton that lives on a farm outside of the village of Mowbray. He’s big, ugly and bad tempered but his wool is the best on the planet.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist…. [emoji1]
Melton wool is basically wool woven into a twill weave, like denim or serge. It ends of being very strong, thick and dense.

I feel like that cpo is more IH aesthetic than the cruiser, if only one is to make it to production. Horses for courses, obviously.

Saw this on IG,and thought I had seen these back in January in NYC,but then it was announced that only the 777 and 888 would be upcoming in the Mad Black?

I thought the 21oz MB is getting more cuts, and  XHS-MB just 888.

I thought that if there were going to be other cuts for the Mad Black it wouldn’t be until later on in the year.

@Jett129 - 21oz Mad Black in the 555!?  Id really love to get a pair of these.

[Jett129]

You’re preaching to the choir. I was sworn to secrecy when I saw these back in January. Don’t get too excited,until. IHUK confirms.

[neph93]

Haraki-San has become a big fan if the 555. It maybe he decided to do a run independent of joint plans.

IIRC, there was some talk of chambray shirts. I can't recall where but I did see pics of them in beige, red, and sage.  Are those still on the menu?  They looked delicious

I think so. They will either be Spring/Summer 2021 or more likely separate from the seasonal releases.

What is being released for FW20 outside of Japan is here:

Not part of the FW20 or the SS21 collection.

There they are!  Thanks, G!

Do you think that they will be ready this year?

[Giles]

The red and the green chambrays and the indigo kersey work shirt are all due late Nov/Early December.

The khaki and the white chambrays are due some time in the Spring of 2021.

[Paul9221]

That's awesome news!  Thanks for the heads up!
