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

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
