    @Giles how about a matching cap?

      Dant had a washed out image of IHSH-370-BLU and I gotta say it looks pretty good to me.

      Think it, be it.

        I know what it is, but wtf would you call this piece?

        mixture between a vest and a jacket, so - a vacket?

        Looks more like a shirket to me…

          It looks like the most objectionable IH garment I’ve ever seen to me.

          Think it, be it.

            Funnily enough, I sort of like it. Would I wear it? Then that is another question.....

              @Giles does it come with matching shorts?

                I saw that and immediately thought it was terrible. I was relieved to see that the translation called it “unlikely.”

                  @Matt This is the translation I get

                  I tried making a short-sleeved trucker jacket with black armor, which I've never seen before, an
                  it turned out surprisingly well.
                  This might be useful from spring to summer.
                  What do you think ?
                  Is it okay?

                  So I think he is saying that it sort of unique and it has not been done before.....

                    @Giles maybe there's a reason for that (unique and it has not been done before)...

                      I for one am absolutely fucking delighted that he has done this. Just because it has not been done before, does not mean he should not try. Haraki pushes the envelope and more often than not, others follow. We all know that we have released stuff that does not sell, only to see other brands selling it like hot cakes a few years later......

                            When Haraki does these side projects, does he have a team close by that mocks them up so that he can oversee them personally making tweaks to the design as it's being put together? What happens to the mock up's that don't come to fruition?

                              Oh, and when he showed me the IH-805 sample, I thought he had been smoking something a stronger that his normal Marlborough Menthols. But he made them anyway, no retailers took any from the initial run, and they sold like absolute crap, then (with the help of the @madmike effect), they took on a life of their own, and basically we cant make enough of any fabric iteration.....

                                I would not call it a side project. Doing stuff like this IS what he does. He'll spec it and then send it off to be sampled, he'll get it back and make any changes he feels are necessary, and repeat until he is happy enough to either take to production, or assign it to his "stuff that never quite made it but may one day" rail on the mez in Hachioji.

                                And even then, he will not stop tweaking, the IHJ-79 has been through a few iterations, as has the mountain parka....

                                  Love all that. What’s amazing is that this kind of restless innovation doesn’t turn out more retch-inducing items like this one.

                                      @Giles Final question and I'll stop...how often does he make stuff like this that doesn't make it to the stores? I can imagine his success rate is quite high (and why all of you guys are still in business).

                                        Retch-inducing is not necessarily a bad thing. I am sure than the US has a similar product to our Ford Sierra Mk I.

                                        It was launching to howls of derision from consumers and journalist alike in 1982. And was promptly nicknamed "The Jelly Mould. It was awful and would never sell, we said....

                                        image.png

                                        It's hard to understand that reaction now (because it looks sort of normal now) because it spawned a whole new generation of jelly mould cars. What was retch worthy and a thing to mock then, is the norm a few years later.....
