SNEAK PEEK - Fall Winter Collection

It will….................
And it's funny, in the UK, we all know what Ventile is, but it appears not to be so well known abroad, hence me posting the info.......
It is one of the most traditional natural waterproofed fabrics available. It is not particularly cheap though as the fibres have to be super long to work properly. Think of most luxurious Egyptian cotton high thread count sheets you have ever slept in.

Just make sure those are available in September as Europe's weather is getting bad starting around that month!

One of the bomb-proof things Haraki showed us was a new 19oz indigo hickory stripe. It is unreal. I have just been chatting to Haraki and we have decided that we will release the items made out of this gfabric in a hard washed version too. Heresy, I hear you say, well I tell you the end result is stunning and I think far more wearable from the get go. And even after we've beaten the living shit out of it in the washer, you'll still have years of life left in the stuff. The Vintage Hickory Collection.

So this is a super duper heavy weight bikers cargo pant. Likely to come out in 3 colours. This and Khaki and Black. The Cord is the big stubborn brother of the needle cord used in the western shirt above. Again designed by Haraki. Technically this cord is really complex, suffice to say it is damn dense. These are likely to be released under the Triple Worls label.
And here are some pics of the waffle weave. It is NOT garment dyed. Someone commented on not thinking the snaps were very Iron Hearty, well (despite the tags), this is going to be a Triple Works release too. And that is exactly what Triple Works will be: The same superb craftsmanship, the same painstaking attention to detail and fabrics, but much more experimental

Lol, Giles has just blown my super secret IH fall special wish …I am still super super excited that I was brave enough to suggest a Vintage Hickory line...so awesome that Haraki and Giles thought it might be worthy...
We can do anything

Not strictly Fall collection, but here is a sneak peek of the 25oz Anniversary denim (21oz selvedge at bottom of pic). I specced super dark, I think Haraki was listening. As an aside, this denim was really on the limits of what is do-able. It caused the Mill more problems than any other denim they have made and we got the lowest percentage of grade A denim than we have ever got from another run. Haraki alsmost had to live next to the loom whilst it was being made, to keep an eye on it. Given that the Mill is 9 hours drive from Tokyo, this is dedication at its finest…....
i definitely want this !!!! -
damn, so these are slated for September???
