Samples - New Products We Are Working On

[Giles]

I have agreed with Tom san that the arms will be slimmer…..

Ask @riffblaster general  about the stiffness, it's no longer here…..

[rocket]

great call, will look so much better…

[Max Power]

Perfect, I think I'll have to have it then.

@Giles:

I have just received the first sample of the overdyed 14oz indigo selvedge M65.  Photos will follow later, but suffice to say, this is a semi inducing piece of kit.  The sample aint going anywhere…...

Hi, any ETA for this and how much it is going to cost? Might have to sell an organ.

[Giles]

No ETA and no price yet.  When I do, I'll announce…..

[Miiks]

Ok, thanks!

It arrived today and it's a BEAST.  I don't feel that this denim is as stubborn as the normal superblack or even the sbg for that matter.  it's pretty hot here right now so i probably won't be wearing this much for the next few months but when the cool weather starts to hit this is going to see alot of mileage.  I never tried the other 101J on but I really have no problem with the arm hole size on this one.  I'll get pictures for everyone this week.

@Giles:

And the next sample….. the IH-101J-BLK (The Nate Newton Edition)........The "W" will be red in the production version.  Please note that this is hitherto unreleased selvedge 21oz Superblack denim (so non-fade, selvedge)....

Complete the form if you want an email when they hit…Please use IH-101J-BLK as "Item or Model Number"

This jacket is at risk.  Virtually no interest from retailers.  I'm gob-smacked…..

[Dion]

Dammit :(! Even if it was SBG instead of SB?

[Giles]

I don't know.  But I do know that if I have this little interest from retailers then I'd rather use this super special denim for something else….

[neph93]

Fark. I love everything about this. The cut, the hardware, the super black… I would have thought V&S at would have been all over it at the very least. I've actually put off buying other stuff because this was in the pipeline.

[Giles]

It may still be, but I am very on the fence atm….

[Max Power]

Would be a shame, it's a great jacket. Retailers are not always right

[Dion]

There are lots of SB-denim bottoms but only one jacket. Another one would be great… and an SBG-option in the future as well.

[Giles]

@Max:

Retailers are not always right

Exactly, but if they don't take many, then I have to take the balance of the minimum run of 60.  On a jacket that I have got 7 expressions of interest and grand total of 2 jackets ordered from retailers, I'd be pretty feckin crazy to go ahead.  I'm not saying I won't, but it's anything but a done deal….

[Jett129]

Also sorry/disappointed to hear that. Maybe the Lee jackets aren't as well known or appreciated as much as their Levis counterparts.

[UnTucked]

Make some work-shackets out of it. All hardware and details the same.

[Max Power]

I always thought work jackets sell even poorer. Nothing worng with Lee jackets, nor black jackets. Just make sure that Nate wears it in and posts some fitpics- everybody will want one then, I'm sure!

[Giles]

That, of course, is a possibility…..

[Seul]

Make all Converge fans buy one!.. That's 15 sales right there!..
