I know production would probably limit: but I was just thinking a 18oz BB with the same weave/texture as the vintage would be the business.
this is an idea that has been floated in meetings with Haraki en ough times that I would expect it to happen at some point
The BB I have are 18oz UHR -
Look vintage to me -
-
@jevans41 they do multiple N1s every year so if you wait it’ll come around again
-
@Choko sorry, by come around again do you mean they've already done a navy n1 at some point?
-
@jevans41 Yep:

@goosehd dang... 04 in particular is beautiful... also notable that the price in 11 seasons has only inflated 33% in that time (or 3% a year), really quite reasonable imho.
-
@jevans41 To be honest, it's one of the things I love and respect about the crew at IHUK in regards to pricing. In my years here they have only raised prices when they have had to, informed everyone before hand, and explained why they are doing it when and where possible. They just don't raise prices because everyone else has.
@Giles has said more than once, I don't care what everybody else is doing, we do what we do...or something to that effect.

@goosehd the clarity of their vision is what makes them so unique, no question about it... and since a vision is abstract (in the head) it's also why I think people often say about IH "I can't quite put my finger on it but I love IH"; it's a silent language so to speak...

I think it went something like. "I don't give a shit what anyone else is doing, we will do what is best for us and our customers"

When we were building the original proper website, not "Giles's agricultural V1 "website. I used to go absolutely bleeding mad when I was told either, "no one else does that" or " so and so, does that".....
-
@Giles have you thought about doing a book on the history of IH and how it developed/evolved (and with your management insights)? No small task I know but could be sick in coffee table format.
-
We've thought about it a number of times....
I'm pretty good at talking, but I absolutely hate writing.
However, I have been thinking about starting a board where I explore different aspects of how we do business. I think some of the things we do, and how we do them are fairly unique. I'm also quite keen to explore some of the business drivers and explain them from our point of view. None of it is rocket science, but as my good friend George once said to me. Rocket science is not rocket science, it is just a longer sequence of simple processes
-
@Giles I think both would be sick... and don't forget, there's more than 1 way to write books, you could talk into a tape recorder for instance and have a ghostwriter (or co-writer) compile it all for you; I'd happily do it myself if I was qualified (never written a book before although I've dreamed of it).
