interesting looks and q & a.
Regarding the blue plaid currently only in Japan, would that be made from wool?
Looking forward to the loom state and slubby denim as well. The James Dean jacket is a winner too.
Great low key presentation Alex and Giles and @Madame Buttonfly.

Discovered the show on IG laying in bed last night. Really enjoyed the show and slept like a baby after.

Watching the presentation. Could y'all please NOT WEAR BOOTS WHILST STANDING ON THE IH RUG PLEASE???  ??? ??? ??? ???

[Giles]

Not how it works here I am afraid….Rugs are for taking abuse....

[Seul]

I guess that when you've actually paid for it, the sentiments change…

[Giles]

Maybe more like that in FW21

Yes indeed. That sort of passed me by when the deets were launched on the forum but certainly caught my eye yesterday.

Many thanks for this very informative session. I'm certainly after some of the new shirts.

I was stunned by the grade of fades of your jeans, @Giles /redhoodieguy. Did I get it right, they are 19oz indigo/black? How come they've faded that much? My 25oz ib is lightyears away from that. I'm aware that fades come from wear and abrasion, but I'm wondering if these two fabrics also fade very differently. Or is it the way you wash them?

[Giles]

They are the 19oz indigo/black 634 samples, I started wearing them in March last year.  My 25oz indigo black looked about the same after about the same time wearing.  I typically wash my jeans when I think they are dirty.  These have had 3 washes (possibly 4, I dont keep notes).

[endo]

thanks, and may I ask how you wash them (degrees, spincycle, detergent)?

[Giles]

Inside out 30C with no spin and I use whatever detergent is lying around.

When they get more faded, I won't turn them inside out and I will increase the temp to 40C, because as they get more faded they show up more dirt and need a more aggressive wash.

[endo]

Thanks a lot!

Watched on catch up - Great presentation @Giles and Alex, really good to see the products close up and personal so you can see the texture of the fabrics..

UHR is returning, thrilled.  And the new super stubby 15.5 sounds particularly wonderful.
