2013 Autumn/Winter Pipeline

[ohighyo]

It's too bad because after wearing my 6634s all day yesterday I think I like them better than any other ih pants I own. I just kept rubbing them with my hand because they are as soft as velvet.

@Giles:

First sample final version…

@mclaincausey:

corduroy collar

(+ modified collar with "round ends" like on the MF Ranch)

=

i'll buy!

[Giles]

You've just saved yourself some money.

I always say, that if I ask 100 of your for input as to the perfect anything, I'll get 101 suggestions.

@Giles:

One wash will make no difference to how it fades….On the basis that it should be soaked/washed before wear anyway...

As far as jackets go, no need to rinse or ever wash. I'd like it raw, one washed takes the fun out, just tell people no returns on raw items

[Giles]

The IH-526BJ was raw and did not sell, given that the denim is fantastic, I'm convinced that the main reason it did not sell is that people are more concerned about how a jacket shrinks than how a pair of jeans shrink.  I thought much like you, that people would love the fun of raw, I was wrong and I would be stupid to make the same mistake again. Not allowing returns kills sales.

And your comment about no need to soak or wash, is your opinion and one that which Haraki and I do not agree with.

[Max Power]

Why not just do both, raw and one washed? Gives the raw guys certanty about the final measurements and the faint at heart can buy onewash right away?

[Giles]

Because guessing what number to get when there is one variation is difficult enough, when you double the options it gets harder still.  Plus we have to have more stock, which takes up space and requires greater investment etc etc etc

Blanket-lined would be f-in sweet!

[simonc]

Are we doing the flannel lined work pants you put on your to-do list last year?

[Giles]

Not on the horizon

[Finn666]

G. how does this sounds:

101J's final version + corduroy collar?

and o/course i do understand your pov…totally fine with me.
i just always wished one of IH's denim jackets would come with a beige corduroy collar. just a badass detail imo!

[simonc]

…just add blanket lined and you have the ultimate denim jacket on the planet.

[cc.rider]

It only fit size large and under due to sizing issues, iirc.

[Nerkg]

Just my opinion but why would lined denim be good? I like denim in my denim, lining in my regular jackets. Wondering what is good about it.. Mabye I'm missing something good

[Giles]

Lee Stormrider is one of THE classic denim jackets…..

Warmth?

[Nerkg]

I hear ya. Just saying why? I like crisp creases, a bit thinner jacket, potential for holes with years of wear

[mclaincausey]

Exactly G. Iconic. The final is type 3 based.

And way over priced. WAY
