Bummer, so looks like no brown weft eh?

I was in because I wanted a pair of forum jeans to be made but I gotta admit brown weft didn't exactly light my fire.

I think a new denim should be bought out in a forum special jean before being released as a regular jean

[tfahey00]

Maybe a gray weft would be more popular? I'd be in for red or green but…. probably not many others.

I don’t think colored wefts like red or green suit the IH aesthetic. Kinda gimmicky like N&F

It's not really that brown:

And we have enough denims in stock or in the works that contemplating a new denim with the minimum run requirement of 400 pairs is just not sensible I am afraid.

That brown weft is beautiful. If the Pronto pair that utilises it gets a restock I’m having a pair regardless.

We have quite a lot of this denim available to use.  I'm thinking of what to do with it…...

Approx. how long to production if a product was specced and a sample ordered today? Three months?

[Giles]

Maybe 4, depends upon how long the initial sample takes i.e. How busy the sampling room is…..

Personally I’d be very happy with 888 or 666. Generally, it seems the 888 and 777 are popular at the moment. I’d go with copper buttons and a dark gold/copper contrast stitching to complement the weft.

I have one or two other, slightly more speculative ideas, that you can dismiss at your leisure via PM [emoji1]

How about a modified type III? [emoji848]

With a brown cord collar to compliment the beige weft [emoji851]

Alpaca lined type iii (including collar)! There’s historical context for it (ie I’m not just wildly making things up).

1 down 399 to go…..

“Untucked” work shacket gets my vote. Although everything I like ends up in the outlet so I’m a bad indicator.

I’d be interested in that, although many of my favourites also end up in The Outlet [emoji1]

^ I also suspect 22oz denim may be difficult to turn into a shacket.

[tvenuto]

Ah, yes. For some reason in my head it was 18oz when I posted.

+1 to a modified type III with a brown/khaki cord collar and matching cord pocketbags
