@Alex said in IH-526-PIQ - 14oz Cotton Piqué Modified Type III Jacket. Ecru. The Piqué Blinder:

@endo I would love to. We had a little of the fabric left, but I opted to run pants using it for a couple of reasons:

1. I made the call shortly after finding out that we could no longer make our 21oz white denim pants
2. The aforementioned pants have always sold faster than the IH-526J-WH, so I hedged my bets

If the rerun of jeans does well, and the mill is still in business, then I would consider a redo on a batch of fabric and to do this jacket again.

I wish I had grabbed one for myself, too

@cityofdelusion knew I'd read it somewhere!

[endo]

I was sure if it's the same fabric.

I forget from the previous iterations, but about how much stretch does the PIQUE fabric give? I had some MFSC Pique pants once and they would stretch like 2 sizes after a wash.. Many thanks Crew!

Ordered a pair of these.

How do do you pronounce ecru?

Letter by letter?

E-crew?

Eck-rue? In a French sound.

Hoping to sound like I know what I'm talking about.

Google says the former, me as a non-native english speaker would have gone with the latter, as it's indeed a word of french origin.

@timmyboy I think we're mostly 'Eck-rue' here in the office but couldn't give you a specific reason as to why, maybe because 'E-crew' sounds like a digital marketing company you'd get advertising emails from in your junk folder

[timmyboy]

Haha, I'm American so E-crew sounds pretty Americanized and my first thought lol. My best guess was my last listed and I'm going to go with your guaranteed confirmation.

grabbed one from the outlet
guess they work great with my clinch engineers and a leather jacket . really like the look of the pique.
pretty excited

@Daniel-San - how did these work out? Am tempted but grateful for advice about stretch, etc

[Daniel San]

@Crispy-Heron
they are awesome, really like the fabric. There is strech but not as much as the 21oz denim . Didn’t measure, so I can’t help you with exact dimensions.

[Crispy Heron]

@Daniel-San - thanks mate. They look great.

[jerkules]

@Crispy-Heron yeah just to chime in on this fabric, I found there to be very little stretch. Maybe .5inch in the waist

[Crispy Heron]

@jerkules - thanks. I will probably go for the 31 then
