        That was an option I Haraki and I considered and then rejected….

          I guess you might still see the skew in the weave…...?

            You'll see the skew whatever, and overdying (which we tested), just suppressed the beauty of the fabric….

                Well, skewing on denim jeans occurs with wear and washing I believe, its related to the nature of the weave of denim and i suppose how tight the weave is?

                The skew on these shirts I suppose actually occured on the loom?

                ….and yeah, i'd still buy one, but i can also understand why they may not go on sale.

                  I like the fabric!
                  Some brands call there shirts fancy, IH can call it "shuttle loom woven skew".
                  Look of expectancy to the outcome product.
                  @Giles:

                  Haraki has been looking for really great fabrics made by tiny little mills.  One or 2 people and a couple of looms, often in a shed/building attached to the house but always somewhere on the property.  These are known as House Factory's.  The fruits of these efforts thus far, has been the fabric for IH-711, IH-712, IHSH-119, IHSH-129 and IHSH-134.  I don't know much else, but will do visiting as many of these place when I go to Japan….

                      Incorrect.  Skew is caused in all twill weaves during the weaving process.  It is caused by the inherent uneven tension created with a twill weaving process.

                                There is no published release schedule.  Just some dates in the product pdfs further up this thread…

                                      @Giles please convince Haraki to make boatloads of these ^^^^.  These look amazing, tons of people want them, and I don't want to miss out on one 😉

                                        Pre-orders went in ages ago.  What will get made is what pre-ordered.  That includes the fabric.  If we sell out of the shirts fast, we can't make any more unless we make more fabric, which'll be months and honestly unlikely to happen.  And if you are an XXL or an XXXL you're in more trouble, because H probably won't make anything over XL for Japanese stock.

                                        So if I have under-ordered, then there is a chance of picking up the smaller sizes, but virtually no chance of picking up XXL and XXXL.

                                          Thanks Giles.  Well hopefully I will be an XL in these, which I will know when the fit guide is posted.  I'm always either an XL or XXL depending on the fit.

                                          Is this one that SelfEdge and all the other usual suspects will be getting as well?  Hopefully.  That way if I miss it here I can always pick one up from one of the other vendors.
