          Generally only samples of things IHUK have specifically specced or ordered end up in Gosport for sale on here, or on the back of  employees, etc. The samples for seasonal stuff are shown to retailers in the west, and sent back to Japan with tweaks etc.

            That is what used to happen….......

            This year for FW2020, we asked Haraki to make us a complete set of samples that we could keep here.  That way, we could have more time to take photos etc and make a really good look-book (which, now won't happen, unfortunately).

            The samples cost us USD7,000, so either me and Alex are going to be sporting a shit load of lovely stuff, or we'll sell them to recoup the outlay.....

                  huh.. for some reason i thought some photos were posted from NYC earlier this year in jan and if there was ever a selvedge run this year too? sigh, if only some the samples were made in smaller sizes..  😛 😛

                    There were some 'informal" photos published from those shows, but that is about it….

                        While, one might think, putting forth the effort to make a mask is within the realm of possibility, the creation of a whole new denim for it (32oz, no less) is definitely not. It's been well documented, the XHS(25oz) is as heavy as H-san is willing to go.

                        Edit: Having said that, I think even the XHS would be overkill.

                        Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                          I don’t think left hand twill meets industry standards for blocking aerosol particles. Because skewing and chin twist [emoji847]

                                Interesting. There’s tons of companies now making masks, which is great to hear. At some point I’m going to need a backup pair
