    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....

    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.....

      how often does he make stuff like this that doesn't make it to the stores?

      No idea. He's not the sort of guy to take you to his "failures" and brag about them 🙂

        I’d like to think there’s an Island of Misfit Clothes out there somewhere.

          I would like to see a pullover Anorak, made with the same fabric as the shorts we done last year (IH-736), I thought the combo of the ripstop and hydrophobic coating was a cool idea and could be applied to a lightweight S/S jacket.

              Anoraks have been mentioned enough before that I’m surprised we haven’t seen one yet.

                Pullovers in general seem oft-requested—popover shirts have been requested a lot too. I can’t recall one having been made.

                I hate the idea of having to pull over to don and doff outerwear so for me it has to offer something to justify the hassle. I can adjust to changing conditions easily with a zip hoodie by adjusting the zipper and more easily removing it, but I have to take a pullover hoodie off entirely, over my head, to cool down.

                IMO an anorak or hoodie can justify the hassle in two ways:

                1. in scenarios where it is a weatherproof garment, by removing or reducing an entry point for wind or moisture or exit point for warmth

                2. in any scenario, by adding pocketing that wouldn’t be possible with a vertical opening. That means a killer, very large kangaroo pocket and/or other pockets with closures

                YMMV

                Think it, be it.

                  Im not really into pullovers either, but a ripstop and hydrophobic coating rain jacket sounds cool

                    @Travis2375 agreed because it meets the first of my justifications for the hassle of pullover outerwear.

                    For a shirt you wear all day it’s not a big deal. That’s what a t shirt or a polo shirt is. For outerwear that goes on and off all day it needs to offer something for the hassle.

                    Again just my $0.02

                    Think it, be it.

                      I think that the “Jest” would be cool and possibly more appealing to riders if it had snaps instead of buttons. I think Haraki mentioned that he thought riders would like it. This way you could size up,and wear it over a heavy IH hoodie. You could also employ vest extenders so it doesn’t flap around when riding,if you wanted it unbuttoned. And last but not least you could use the short sleeves for additional patch space. Snap down collars would be great as well. Harley will have this out next year.

                        @Jett129 could be a good way for a biker to be very clearly not wearing a kutte

                        Think it, be it.

                          @mclaincausey Were you by chance a Sons of Anarchy fan. As that was where I first ever heard the word “kutte” in reference to an MC Club vest.

                            @Jett129 I looked up the term on english wikipedia, to see it's referenced there. Originates from German, so it was quite surprising to see it mentioned here.

                              Several years ago SOSO Bros. made a shirt for me and when it was assembled they put the sleeves on backwards. It was Giles who figured it out. They told me to keep the shirt and remade it for me. I decided to have my tailor turn their mistake into a short sleeve shirt. I’ve only worn it a couple of times. Just to illustrate how Haraki’s short sleeve Type III might be with snaps.

                                @tody I had to look it up as well,when I was watching Sons of Anarchy,as I said,that was the first and only time I had ever heard a vest referred to as a kutte.

                                  I think the traditional Kersey in a modern chore silhouette would be lovely. Brass buttons...Yes Please.
