Samples - New Products We Are Working On

Glad to see some Od flannels coming out. I’ve been making OD flannels/ clothes of my own for years and have bought some from other brands like 3sixteen.
The uhf take the dye so well, especially after they’ve been used some and have softened up. And only binding to natural materials, it’s always fun that the poly threads don’t hold dye and stay their original colors.

[Hematoma]

when do you expect the ODs to release?

[Alex]

Flannels? No idea - they have been stuck in customs in Japan for weeks. Theres a small chance that they are destroyed.

Damn... does this happen often? Are you insured against these things?

[Alex]

No, this would be the first time. UPS in Japan / Customs are fucking us over as we are shipping the UHFs (undyed) back to Japan, which is not the usual flow of traffic. Despite them being returned to the manufacturer, they are trying to charge IHJP tens of thousands of pounds in tax and duty, which we are trying to avoid.

@Alex After spending almost the whole of last week battling against "computer says no", I really feel for you. Fingers crossed!

[Alex]

@EdH thanks mate. @AdamC is bearing the brunt of the UPS shite at the moment, but hopefully we get things resolved soon

@AdamJ
wasn’t there a 526 sbg sample ?
would love to see some new pics

[AdamJ]

@Daniel-San Yes, see here

@Graeme sent in some nicely faded IH-708s, and got us thinking about phoenixing this fabric. Any thoughts on what we should make?

[sabergirl]

Work pant (no hammer loop) single-front preferred, double-front second choice, or a 5 pocket this time would be great! I think this would also be nice for a heavyweight short sleeve western.

[sabergirl]

Also: those are beautiful @Graeme !

[Alex]

@sabergirl like these?

[sabergirl]

Oh my word, YES!

[Alex]

Will do these in II and BB 21oz serge to start with, maybe the indigo herringbone fabric too. Hit me with other ideas for the hickory, don't need too many similar things to hit at once

[Crispy Heron]

@Alex - 21oz BB in serge will be awesome

[popvulture]

@Alex ever considered an OD hickory? Would probably age in a very cool way.

[Alex]

I hadn't no, could be cool, but I think the way this fades already is pretty special

[popvulture]

Oh you meant things to make in the hickory…

[Alex]

Yeah, what could we make from that fabric..
