        @Sreeni:

        I ask this because Cone Mills is shutting down and I am planning to buy about 5-8 yards of denim from their White Oak shop. I was wondering if storing it for a few years will need any kind of special storage.

        Maybe you can keep it in one of those big zip bags from which you can suck out the air with a vacuum cleaner.

        Noted. Thanks!

          when IH does a collab, what goes into the decision making process when you choose a brand? I'm specifically thinking of companies like Viberg, Wesco and whoever else you do leather collabs with. Obviously, Viberg and Wesco are held in high regard among boot aficianados, so it's clear that you'll only work with companies with a rock solid rep. Have there ever been any brands that have approached IHUK and asked to do a collab that you've rejected?

            Most collabs are my idea.

            Criteria:

            Company has integrity
            Company has similar ethos
            Company has a product or could have a product that marries well with our product range
            I can deal with the actual person who makes the decisions
            We both benefit equally from the relationship

            Yes we have been approached by companies who I have turned down.

            And, Haraki has asked me to sort out collabs with companies and I have refused because I felt for whatever reason, it was not a good idea.  Haraki is happy to leave the decisions up to me…..

                              here's a daft question, for overdyed product is the fabric dyed first and then sewn, or is it sewn first and then given an overdye bath? I'm assuming it's the latter.

                                Made into a garment and then dunked.  That is why the hardware looks so beaten up….

                                    It’s happened once or twice that a load of gear has been placed on “Special” at this time, but Specials don’t happen anymore and it was never a permanent thing.

                                    With the Outlet closed throughout December and re-opening early in January you can probably expect some good deals then.

                                          Didn’t want to derail the exciting sneakers announcement on the samples thread, so I’ll ask here… Are 888XHS a distant pipe dream?
