Forum Jeans - 777 & 888 in 22oz Indigo/Beige Denim

[neph93]

Shame that this looks to be a non-starter. Forum jeans seem like they should be a thing. It would be a feather in the cap of the brand and the forum and an exclusive bit of kit. For this reason alone something a little different (brown weft, coloured arcs) seems appropriate (he brown weft is also glorious). Maybe some time in the future…

Bummer, so looks like no brown weft eh?

I was in because I wanted a pair of forum jeans to be made but I gotta admit brown weft didn't exactly light my fire.

I think a new denim should be bought out in a forum special jean before being released as a regular jean

[tfahey00]

Maybe a gray weft would be more popular? I'd be in for red or green but…. probably not many others.

I don’t think colored wefts like red or green suit the IH aesthetic. Kinda gimmicky like N&F

It's not really that brown:

And we have enough denims in stock or in the works that contemplating a new denim with the minimum run requirement of 400 pairs is just not sensible I am afraid.

That brown weft is beautiful. If the Pronto pair that utilises it gets a restock I’m having a pair regardless.

We have quite a lot of this denim available to use.  I'm thinking of what to do with it…...

Approx. how long to production if a product was specced and a sample ordered today? Three months?

[Giles]

Maybe 4, depends upon how long the initial sample takes i.e. How busy the sampling room is…..

[neph93]

Personally I’d be very happy with 888 or 666. Generally, it seems the 888 and 777 are popular at the moment. I’d go with copper buttons and a dark gold/copper contrast stitching to complement the weft.

I have one or two other, slightly more speculative ideas, that you can dismiss at your leisure via PM [emoji1]

How about a modified type III? [emoji848]

With a brown cord collar to compliment the beige weft [emoji851]

Alpaca lined type iii (including collar)! There’s historical context for it (ie I’m not just wildly making things up).

1 down 399 to go…..

“Untucked” work shacket gets my vote. Although everything I like ends up in the outlet so I’m a bad indicator.

I’d be interested in that, although many of my favourites also end up in The Outlet [emoji1]

^ I also suspect 22oz denim may be difficult to turn into a shacket.

[tvenuto]

Ah, yes. For some reason in my head it was 18oz when I posted.

+1 to a modified type III with a brown/khaki cord collar and matching cord pocketbags
