@Alex feels like the recent runs of the type 3s (21 oz, 16oz) have been overall a little shorter (in length) than prior runs. Is this intentional? (I’m a fan of the shorter length, to be clear)

[Alex]

No, no deliberate plans to adjust the sizing however run to run we get variance and it seems to all be varying smaller than larger of late

Hey @Alex and @Giles,

have you ever thought about adding the hardware from the 2526J to the jackets overdyed with the new method? That might look great.

[Alex]

No, I haven’t thought about it, but I can see your idea. The problem is overdyed jackets are fully constructed before over dying and so this would add another layer of complexity to the production line

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I understand, I just like the idea of that look.

@endo

[Giles]

[endo]

Will the 13oz serge shirts make a return at any point? @Alex

[Alex]

Hopefully, but last time we tried to rerun the fabric we got push back from the fabric maker

[DeeDee85]

@Alex no problem, thank you for the info. Fabric from the IHJ-142 for a 21oz indigo serge CPO it is then?

This is a beautiful patch. First time I saw it on the IHJ-25 - Blanket Lined Chino Cloth Tanker Jacket around 2014. But as Giles said, it is quite a bit older @endo.

[endo]

now I want this jacket

[Bridger]

Is that the jacket Pete Mitchell wore at Miramar?

[truby]

Yo,

Do you even think about competition in business? Like do you view other Japanese denim brands as competitors?
