IHV-50-IND - 14oz Sashiko Dobby Cloth / Duck Work Vest - Indigo
-
I have a few vests already and haven't purchased one in a while. This one is a must have.
-
@Daniel-San Yes, of course!
-
@Alex Is there a thought process behind why Haraki decided to use this fabric to make a vest and not to, say, a type III jacket?
-
@Mister_Brue Could be, yeah. And if that is indeed the explanation, my follow up question would be whether a piece of clothing being constructionally easier to produce is of higher priority to him than the potential demand/popularity of another.
-
I'm just interested in Haraki's thought process here and also in general when it comes to making decisions such as making a over b. Otherwise, obviously I'm fully aware of the point that IH can and does produce whatever it wants and that people can and do buy whatever they want. Not my point at all.
The "demand/popularity" point in my post wasn't about the number of sales. I think that IH has a lot of type III offerings in terms of fabrics, color options, etc. and it appeared intuitive to me that Haraki (or you guys) would choose to expand that offering by adding a sashiko type III jacket rather than a vest which - correct me if I'm wrong - in comparison appeals to a smaller, more niche audience. Hence my curiosity regarding his thought process when he makes these kinds of decisions.
-
...Okay okay, it is a seriously beautiful vest - there I said it (and I mean it as a non-niche-vest guy)
-
I am one of those niche vest guys. One of the first non-jeans IH pieces I picked up over a decade ago was the IHV-02. At the time, it was sold out and I had to wait for what seemed like a year for a restock. It eventually restocked (after pinging Giles multiple times about when) and I picked it up. Still have it and wear it with regularity to this day. This new IHV-50 may be vying for the top spot in my vest rotation. That is assuming I am able to nab one on release day.
-
Hell yes
Like og IH -
Instant buy for me, very excited!
Any size recommendations for someone who wears an XXL typically in Iron Heart shirts? (Just generally for vests)
-
@Luijim78 Hoping the release has at least 2 in size XS - this is a must for me too - and there’s also that third member who beat us both to the only size xs of the narrow hickory vest release. So, I’m not getting my hopes up and will expect I won’t win out on this ordering timing battle again - so I won’t feel so disappointed when it’s all over. Hopefully we both are able to get this one this time.
-
@John-Galt if I see that there is only one XS I will immediately aim for an S but I also hope that there are enough sizes for all of us John

Too much awesomeness on this one. IHV-50-IND LAUNCH does not leave us w much of a choice:
