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… 

PS: that 14oz. navy high collar sweater though  :o

[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.

Free rugs or sweaters?..  ???

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.

[Giles]

I did not specifically say we would do the UHR in all 5 cuts….At least I don't think I did. We may do, but not a definite....

[profdbrk]

I would suspect that 555 is the most popular–-and of the main cuts perhaps 634 is the least?  But I'm crossing fingers that we'll see UHR in 634.

[Giles]

Well, the good news is that Haraki wants some of the denim for Japan, so I think a 634 is a given….

[organisys]

Caught the catchup, thanks. Liking the pop collar sweat particularly.

[profdbrk]

I happen to like short jackets–-cossacks and the shorter Type III---so the shorter hoodie has always been a favorite of mine.  Those tall guys apparently need them longer.  May have to try to find one before the new ones take their place. 

On another note, my tastes seem to run like the Boss, so odds are for a 634 UHR and then a slubbby new jean.  I'm all in.
