2013 Autumn/Winter Pipeline

so he is scurrying around trying to make shirts for the Japanese market to fill the void.
On that note, you may see some new shirts that he is releasing only in Japan, so I will not be getting them over here. He is rebranding some TW as IH to sell to the domestic market.

Is TW international only?
-
Interesting–thanks!
-
I seem to recall products under the TW brand didn't move as well, but they are made no more different than the products under the IH brand. Rebranding some TW while limiting distribution may be the only way. Just saw a couple of pics under Boss Talk, the previous TWSH-09 is now an IH shirt!
-
Keep in my that a lot of the TW releases have been sized differently too. The last runs were really long. IMO most of the goods (both IH and TW) that don't sell well have various sizing issues, otherwise they would likely fly off the shelves…like the 2012 indigo forum tee and the TWSH-05,6,7, etc.
-
Totally agree that the indigo forum tee was seriously challenged from a sizing POV. However, with the TW shirts we purposely changed the sizing/body shape a little from Iron Heart for a slightly different fit and look, and perhaps to suit other body types. No one shape of shirt will fit/suit everyone, so we tried to ring the changes.
I don't think it was sizing that stalled TW shirts sales, I think it was a mixture of our inability to articulate the differences and some prejudice against TW as it was not IH. I firmly believe that the current sale of TW shirts has succeeded in opening a lot of peoples' eyes to how good the shirts really are, and out of the (shit) load we have sold in the last 2 weeks, we have thus far only had a couple of problems with sizing.
-
I would have long owned a TWSH western if they weren't nearly 2" longer than most IH ones that I own. I still cannot shake the idea that they were perhaps designed as tuck-in shirts? I'm 6'3" and have a natural inseam length at around 32"-33" so I have a pretty lengthy torso and if I find them too long to be worn untucked?

Any update on the UHF? Man, I'm jonezing for that shirt. I hope there's not any XXXs in front of me!

So sad, such a beautiful shirt.
