Samples - New Products We Are Working On

[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.

@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!..

@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….

888 gets my vote. Need some black denim…

[Jett129]

Did the retailers give any reason as to why they weren't interested? Curious if it was the color or the style or both.

[Giles]

Nope, they just don't respond to the "want any of these" email….

[Hematoma]

Selfishly, I want you to make the jacket…but I'd feel terrible if a lot of folks on here said "make it!" and didn't order, as has happened in the past (tho I'd pay for it right now if need be...)

So I completely understand you not making it if the demand isn't there - maybe do it in a less special black denim or Overdye some of the indigo ones?

[pillowPANTS]

Jacket looks badass. Very surprised at the lack of interest. If i didnt have the SBG type3, i would already have been saving for this

816s or single knee loggers from this denim would be killer.

I just mentioned denim 816's the other day. SB denim would surely be sweet!!

Exactly, just make a jane doe patch  (and use the rest for a 888 black pair), sell it as the riffblaster tuxedo.

Other then the hardware, what is the difference with the IH-9526J Type3?

I've got IH-9526J on my list…

[Giles]

It's a different type of jacket.  The IH-526J is based on a Levi's Type III.  The IH-101J-BLK is a based on a Lee 101J.

The denim is a selvedge superblack on the IH-101J-BLK, it is not selvedge on the IH-9526J

By the way, I have made the decision to make these.  Vater & Sohn will be stocking a few…...

That is excellent news. You got me as safe buyer then.
