Some Flannels for Spring/Summer 2012…....
A, B, C & D likely to be for long sleeved works shirts
E, F, G, H likely to be for short sleeved work shirtswaiting on A & B

Don't know if it's been mentioned and I would assume it's still unknown but what does anyone think the cost will be of the long sleeved Triple Works flannels? I would assume lower than the Iron Heart spring weight flannels?
-
The only cost differentiator is the cost of the fabric and the ease of the sewing. As a general rule, the heavier the fabric, the more it costs and the harder it is to sew.
If the TW fabric weighs the same as the iH fabric, the cost and therefore the price is likely to be the same.
Both ranges are made to the same quality in the same factories. TW is not an entry level/lower cost/lower quality product, it just has a different design philosophy.

I'm super pumped for all of the TW lineup this Spring. I'm jumping on a ton of it, as it starts to trickle in. Are all of these TW shirts, the first TW shirts Hararki has released under the TW name?
-As a side note, is there a biography page or something about the master, Haraki-San? And what did Works Inc do prior to IH? I know they've been around for 25 years and I'd love to see some OG vintage Works Inc gear. I love this brand!!!!

MikeC. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Haraki has made very little of the fabric for most of the first TW shirts, so we have not got enough to make anything over XL (yeah, I'm pissed too..).
The denim western that I specced (pic above) will be going up to XXXL.
Hopefully once the TW line gets moving, then all stuff will come in sizes up to XXXL.
The only other TW shirts I have seen have been samples that never made it into production.
Paula is working on a biography/history at the moment…..

If the XL isn't baby sized, I'd get some shortsleeves, as I'm not going to wear an undershirt. But you really broke my heart with that longsleeve green flannel. I'm half-Korean and all my relatives are similar sized (they are full Korean). I don't get the whole small Japanese sizing thing. I kind of get the height thing, but not the width thing. I guess I'm just venting….
