Revisiting Old Classics - Should We/Shouldn't We?

[Chris]

@Finn666:

finally i came along to read the whole thread (which was created by @Chris btw.)

Actually, Giles started it, then I combined a couple of earlier and relevant posts from another thread into it, which is why Finn's is first.

I probably made things more confusing, to be honest…

[Giles]

It is a problem when combining threads that sometimes the time-stamp defined merge alters screws up the actual logic of the thread…..

@Giles:

Looks like IHSH-16 in natural….

@UnTucked:

Either way… I think my pic and your pic prove that we need a white western in production, lol

Ahem… If we're talking about bringing back classics, I vote for this one first.

I agree with that 100%.  A revisited IHSH-16 would be fantastic.

[Finn666]

for all that matters, i´m cool with re-running "simple" shirts such as the IHSH-33, IHSH-44, IHSH-16, IHSH-27, IHSH-46, IHSH-66, IHSH-67, etc. …it´s just when it comes to flannels and those crazy cool patterns, i would love to leave them extinct when declaring extinct.

[Giles]

IHSH-33 it is one of the feckin staples of course we're going to rerun the thing….

And the 44 and 16 and 27 and 46 and 67, were/are declared extinct.

You can't have your cake and eat it....

OK.  After a lot of consideration, this is where we are.

Firstly, this is Haraki's brand, he can do what the fuck he wants, how he wants and when he wants.  Would I have voted for a re-release of a red/black or green/black buffalo.  No I would not (because I think they're generally overdone and boring), but he decided he wanted to do it and frankly it is not up to me to say no.  Sometimes when I deem something to be really important, I'll "have a chat" with him, but when it comes to buffalo check, it simply is not important enough (in my opinion) to have the chat.  He's re-released the purple/black buffalo for later this year, I wish he had not but hey, shit happens and yes, I will stock them.

Will we continue to release Ombre's and Buffalo's?  You bet, but if the idea comes from me, it will be new colourways, but as I said above, H can do what he wants.

A point was made by someone in the thread above which touched me most, and I'll paraphrase.  "We don't need H churning out easy stuff, we need him to be sat in the corner with a very large spliff and told to get creative".

For the record though.  Why is it OK to release the IHM-04 and extinct it, then release the IHM-08 and extinct it and then the IHM-10 and extinct it?  They're all deck jackets but with continued (in our eyes) improvements.  To date, and please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think we have re-released a shirt that was exactly the same as a previous version…...

Bold … but true!

JUVENOIA….. What's "established" and what was before is inherently "better" because it's already proven.....

It's the same reason why we're in love with Michael Jordan, or " the golden era of body building" in 2016. It's not that it's REALLY better or praise worthy..... But, it's proven! And, the current non-existence of it adds to the value
