@iammortalcombat there are two retailers in the state you live in, perhaps one of them offers a similar scheme? But like we have all touched on in recent posts, our volume is going up, our analysis of past sales data improving drastically and as such more units (especially %wise in 3 and 4XL) are available on our site on the day of launch then ever before

@Alex thanks, I was not so worried about it to bring about all this! Apologies for that. I was aware of division road (was supposed to be at the meetup with y’all, but life event forced a last second cancel), but now I see the other retailer who is new to me, so thanks for that info!

Wearing my 822’s today with a zipper fly after wearing 666’s-18 with a button fly for an extended period.

Does anyone else get a little messed up switching back and forth between the two? Only takes a couple of days to get used to it…

[T4920]

@goosehd Yeah I always wrecked the zip on a pair of Orslows a few weeks ago giving them the same mighty yank I'd use to unbutton the fly on my IHs..

Love this convo!

Sorry to shift topic, but I have a zipper question. I have a really nice jacket I love. It has a large one way Universal zipper. Anyone know if it’s possible to replace that zipper with a two way zipper? If so, does anyone know an incredible tailor that does that sort of thing?

[Matt]

I don’t see why this wouldn’t be possible. Consult the almighty You Tube for guidance.

[Matt]

Either that or call your local tailor. My generic little old Korean lady tailor used to do all kinds of complex shit for me for a fraction of what online hipster tailors charge. I really miss her. ️

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks @Matt figured it shouldn’t be too hard for a pro. Perhaps the larger question is where does one buy a large guage two way universal zipper?

[Matt]

Probably the dark web.

[Mizmazzle]

Ha. Yeah. Quick google search didn’t yield any results. I’d only want to do it if I could replace it with an equal two way Universal.

Hey @Mizmazzle I’ve done this exact thing on multiple jacket (leather, cotton, waxed canvas) and hoodies….damn you IH for getting me hooked

Anyways, most any tailor can definitely do this as it’s a fairly simple alteration. In terms of the exact zipper type and gauge, the tailor can usually special order whatever you want as they typically have access to suppliers with specialized stock for items related to altering clothing.

[Mizmazzle]

Oh dang!! @Dstauffer that’s great news. I’m a bit weary because this jacket is my favorite!! I’d be mega bummed if I fucked it up. Sounds like you’ve been through it though!! Did you ask for any specific brand of zipper?

[Cutlasshound]

@Mizmazzle Sorry if missed it, but where are you based? If London then I certainly have an excellent recommendation for a tailor.

Re recommendation for zip. You should post a pic of the jacket itself. Personally, I like the Ri-Ri / beefier YKK zippers as a rule of thumb, but their aesthetic does not suit everything! As stated above, a good tailor should be able to help you get what you want as they will typically have a trade catalogue that you can take a look at.

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks @Cutlasshound im in Denver, Colorado. Sounds like what I’m looking to do is possible. Seems that starting the search for the right tailor is my next step!

I seen that Haraki put new batch of 634S-21L into the Japan store.
Are we going to see the fabric internationally in all cuts?
Left hand twill in 21oz is something I’m looking forward to as much as the 21oz stretch.
And of course any forecast on when will it arrive?

Not at this stage, no

The button fly on my Oni's no longer stays closed. Buttons randomly pop open throughout the day. Has anyone successfully resolved this issue?

While, "don't buy non-IH denim," is a valid answer, I'm hoping for others

[goosehd]

You might try adding a few stitches to the button hole to make the hole smaller…
