Sick stuff… Don't think I'll venture out beyond the corduroy shirt, but that gear looks top bollocks...

And here is the patch:

All i want to know is when as i'm a matter of days away from scratching the itch with some EG's.

[Giles]

About 3-4 weeks

About 3-4 weeks

Ohhhh can i wait, can i wait…..........what's the folding(cost) on them likely to be G?

[Giles]

About USD400.  Spenny, but the double weave is super expensive to make…....

[Heavy Duty]

Eeek :o. Comfortably more expensive than the EG's then, would need to decide if i could afford/want to drop something else in order to pick these up instead :-\

[Giles]

Sorry, the cost of the cord is WAAAAY more than the 21oz selvage denim.  A pisser, but true…

[Giles]

Actually, just redone the sums, we can do USD375…...

Strange that G well to me it at this moment anyhoo. So how comes that's the case?

[Giles]

Because a double wave fabric is more complicated to weave than a single weave.  And we make miles of 21oz denim,  we effectively have one loom running full time doing it, it is a known quantity, and we do it well and relatively easily.  The cord is a new fabric that has taken a lot of experimentation to create and we are doing it in small batches…

Ahh yes double face of course i should have saw that coming. Anyway if all goes well do you think it will join the line up on a permanent basis?

[Giles]

haraki and I are planning for that

Personally speaking a great move and one i predict will do well, in the straight cut anyways.

@Giles:

And a IH-701 style cargo pant done in the Green

Not sure of timescales….....

Your thoughts.......

I don't own much corduroy, and generally don't like cargo pants…and yet I kind of love these. 

However, do I 375-dollars-worth-of-love them?  If I'm honest, probably not.  But since you asked for our thoughts, G, there are mine (for what they're worth).

...but if I win the lottery, will definitely purchase!

[scroogen]

I really like the cargo pants and hope to see them available for purchase some time in the future.  I already own the 6634 corduroy pants in olive green. Any idea if the cargos will be made in any other colors?

[Giles]

Possibly all 3 existing cord colours….
