@neph93:

For the sole purpose of wear on a motorcycle, you say? I suppose the fact that you like a bloody rock star in it was entirely beside the point [emoji7]

Why thank you, my Zane Lowe looking, Donny Hathaway sounding, podcasting buddy!

[JDelage]

+1 for short shorts, especially given that Patagonia has discontinued the 5" Stand Ups, the fools.

Looks so killer, man! Dirty it up!

By royally fooked, are you saying you’re gonna take a fall?

Not if I can help it. By ‘royally fooked’ - slightly tongue in cheek - I just mean wear the nuts off it. Soften up the horsehide, darken it down, and get lots of bug guts all over it.

On the last podcast AJ mentioned the 16OZ SBG CPO sample. Any chance for an update on that one?

[Giles]

We have not put it into production yet I am afraid….It will be made, just too much in front of it....

[Hematoma]

Any update on if / when these will be available, Giles?

@Giles:

As some of you will know, we have been having an ongoing issue with buttonholes on our 12oz denim work shirts. So we have decided to replace the buttonholed versions with snappered versions.  To allay any fears, we have had zero defects in the last batch of buttoned 12oz denim work shirts, but we have to insert a piece of fabric inside the shirt placket to make the buttonholes structurally sound, and we don't like doing that.

So here we go:

12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt With Snaps - Indigo Overdyed Black

Novemberish….

[Weft 4 Dead]

Apologies if missed - ETA on olive chinos?

[Giles]

No date yet I am afraid.  In the queue, but quite a long way down….

[Weft 4 Dead]

Cool, thanks for answering.

Will UHR and SII be released this fall?

[Giles]

UHR unlikely. SIIv2 definitely not, it's a 20 year anny gig and that is not until next year…..

[Giles]

Ooooh, look at what is ready to start sampling…..

Yep, it is the UHR (AKA 21/23).

H says it looks almost identical to the previous weave (we are using the same tiny factory, and the same loom as before), so we are pretty confident it will look and behave the same as the last iteration.  But we will sample all 5 core cuts, just to be doubly sure…

[Giles]

And news on the new raw (with the new super-secret technique Haraki has developed)….

He's unhappy with the look and feel of what he has woven to date.

So we are starting again with the UHR as the base from which to work.  We will use a beige weft and aim for a finished weight of, wait for it, 21oz...

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Giles, there's two iterations of UHR? Or Haraki-san is unhappy with that version of the fabric from your picture there?! I can't wait to see the stuff you guys have planned for the anniversary.
