Nine Lives

[Alex]

Ian is still trucking along in Tokyo. Planning his next collection and hoping to show in Paris. We shall see, its been a bumpy few years

[Kfactor]

They seem to have updated some stuff on their site. I also heard from Ian through IG and he said to be ready for more product coming this fall and spring!

Does IHUK manage or own the Nine Lives brand now? I had reached out to Nine Lives customer service and received a reply from the very excellent AJ, which surprised me!

[goosehd]

@Buckeye …not that I know of. Are you talking about @AdamJ

[goosehd]

@Buckeye This AJ…

[Buckeye]

@goosehd I believe that's the man!

[AdamJ]

@Buckeye yes it is!

[AdamJ]

@goosehd we have their inventory and are doing Customer Service/Fulfillment for them.

Funnily enough some work going on behind the scenes as we speak

[T4920]

Holy shit, DMT check is cool af!

So you're saying if order from this brand it comes from Gosport?

[AdamJ]

@T4920 Yep everything that is online is with us, measurements available on request where they aren't currently visible. Next day via DPD to you!

[T4920]

@AdamJ sweet! Curious as to why they aren't available through the IHUK website like the other brands in the Island to Island Group?

[AdamJ]

@T4920 we help them out with the things I mentioned above, not the same arrangement as us selling brands such as Porter & Yoshida or Obbi Good Label for example

[Buckeye]

@AdamJ Eagerly awaiting whatever's going on behind the scenes! I'd love to see further utilization of their 18oz sashiko fabrics. I've been eyeing the 'Go Blue!'* Varsity Jacket, but haven't seen many photos of it online and have been hesitant to pull the trigger for that reason. Would be great for them to have the forum integration of IH products so that we can get more details and a place to share experiences/community photos!

*A name I hate as an Ohio State University graduate, as our hated arch rival the University of Michigan grads have adopted this phrase

Happy this thread is coming back!
I had to say: don't hesitate with the varsity jacket, because this is by far the best jacket I own and ever see
you're lucky I wear it today at work so I can post pictures of it

[dziub]

[Buckeye]

@dziub looking really good! Thanks for uploading!

[T4920]

@dziub that's insane! I saw this on the site recently and wondered how it would develop with time... now I know...

[dziub]

thanks guys!
I ll try to post picture of their denim jacket soon,
the material is insane with lots of colours in the fabric!

[DeeDee85]

@dziub that is looking amazing!

Got this mystery jacket from S&S on sale and wondered if anyone knew anything about it? 100% fur? Is it faux? Shearling? Jackalope? Yak?

Def infused with pimp sauce!
