2014 Fall/Winter Pipeline

[Chris]

You're still planning to do a western and work shirt in this, right?

I'll just go ahead and send you money for the work shirt right now.  I don't care how long it takes, I'm in.

Yessir and a chore coat in super limited numbers.  Oh and some IH-816 work pants…..

^Super Awesome on both accounts! Any idea about the timing or too soon to tell?

No idea on timings, they are things that me and a retailer dreamt up recently…They have to wait until after the rest of the Fall/Winter stuff is made.....

[zatenm]

Thought so, thanks! Will keep an eye for them. 816 in particular sounds like an instant classic…......

Any news on this one? Feels like this one has been flying under the radar…

@Giles:

18.8oz selvedge denim bonded to red flannel…

[Giles]

I have ordered.  Haraki's notes say "Delivery Date - Undecided"…...

[louisbosco]

talking about jackets, what about that 'lee' jacket with the zigzag stiching? sorry if i've asked it a thousand times.

[Giles]

It is still waiting to get made.  Basically we can't make enough of the 18oz raw denim.  Every time we make some, I use it all up on 666S and 555-02, and the jacket gets bumped to the back of the queue.  Tom thinks we may be able to spare enough fabric shortly…..

[Fergz]

Well, in fairness Giles 666S and 555-02 is putting that 18oz to might fine use.

That said, love the idea of the bonded flannel. Not bulky but toasty when required. Let me know if the prototype is a small or medium and potentially open to offers or up for grabs.

[Chris]

I expect any samples will be the company standard "Giles size", which is usually Large.  Never know, though- you might get lucky.

[Giles]

The only sample is in Japan.  Funnily enough it is company standard size though…

[Fergz]

Every cloud has a silver lining, or a flannel one as the case may be…

Is that type III abnormally long? It looks strange in the photo.

I think i remember reading that it was a "modified type III"

My bad, it was me that "assumed" it was long originally. (Prob jus high hopes)Didnt find any facts to support that it is tho. Jus that its 18.8oz and the flannel is bonded to the denim. But the fact that it doesnt have handwarmer pockets makes me think that its NOT gonna be long

[Giles]

It is abnormally long.  The denim is raw, thus there should be shrinkage when washed, the flannel has no shrinkage.  We assumed that the denim would win the battle when we one-washed it, post sew,  and it would shrink to size.  We were wrong, the bonded flannel stopped the denim shrinking.  We are fixing for production…

[superfuzz]

Thanks for clearing that up, G. A shacket in that material would be perfect IMO.

Could be for S/S 2015, but I'll ask here, any word on this zip-up windbreaker, G.?

How's the fit of the hood on the indigo hoodie?  Has it been lengthened?

[Giles]

No, because we just took some existing grey ones and chucked them in a vat of indigo…..
