IH-301S
-
The 301S was originally conceived as a non selvedge jean. The same silhouette could be achieved to show the selvedge line, but it would be a radical redesign. I originally thought it was due to the taper, but learnt otherswise when I was designing the Devils's Fit with Tom and Haraki….

^great infos right there…so this would/could/should also be a new type of jean which IH will come out with one day!
@monday:
i see said the blind monday. G$ don't worry, after the thing with finn no question from me for a week.
word to jiminy cricket. . . unless you put up new product, hahahahahahahaha
so i got you all confused or have you used all your power on typing, dealing with me?
-
G$ you are a glutton for punishment.
why would it be a radical redesign to show the selvedge line on the 301s?
was jaco correct in his summation of why the selvedge line is not shown on the 301s?
okay don't answer any of that. wait a week since i said no questions, hahahhahahhahahaaha.
for real & besides i would rather see a picture of some jeans

Because Haraki said it would be. That's all I need to know.
It is possible to get a selvedge line on a tapered jean, but the fundamental design needs to be changed.

i said don't answer G, hahahahahahahahahaha
who took a pee in your cheerios? i'll round up seul & we can take care of it
back to angry face

I don't mean to belabor this issue
I don't even own the 301
but if my logic is wrong that bothers me, so I gotta know…yes you can make a taper jean showing selvage
and you could "achieve the same silhouette" with a redesign of the 301 cut
but is it correct that you could not make the 301 as it is now showing selvage? -
I answered because it is a moot point.
The 301S does not have selvedge, it was designed that way, partly because when it was originally conceived by Tom and Haraki it was destined to be sold to the Haraki's domestic customers (who on the whole are bikers and don't give a jot about selvedge, preferring cut and construction to be their driver), Haraki decided not to release it in Japan and Kiya decided to take the jean. I gave him exclusivity to the cut, because (and this is an example of where I sometimes allow my own preferences to dictate a rational business decision) I personally do not like the cut. It will require a change to the whole pattern to get a selvedge line down the seam. There would be no change to the silhouette if we did do this. Personally, I prefer Haraki to work on new stuff, rather than spend time redesigning something that a lot of people already like and buy, just to show a bit of selvedge.
So it won't happen.

G there was no point. it was just one of those how you say, hypotheticals for the sake of banter. you are again correct, why mess with a good thing when people love the cut of the 301s.
i'll be over here in the corner awaiting my lashes.
**told you i could pick up seul & we could deal with the issue
-
well tell her to hurry up these assless chaps are prety uncomfortable & it's hard to type with my toes since my hands are all bound up, hahahahahahahaha
i'm out of here, 301s thread is dangerous for your boy
-
thanks for the knowledge as always G
I hope you don't think I was asking because I wanted or was even interested in a redo of the jean to show selvage
I care not in that
was more interested in clarification of your answer to know whether the assumption I was spouting was wrong
which of course it wasI really like the way you do business G, how sometimes your personal likes/dislikes contribute to what maybe should instead be pure business decisions
obviously it works for you
keep doing what you do
