@superfuzz:

I will say to me it doesn't really make sense to continue remaking the red and black flannel and not occasionally make it in other colors.

It must sell in fecking 1,000's in Japan, because I did not ask for it to be done again…..I do have a particular colour combo in mind for a Buffalo check which I may get done for early next year.....

Don't listen to me, G. I have no idea how things work in the real world! This sounds exciting tho.

[Giles]

In the real world, I probably have to get enough fabric made for 150 shirts.  If the retailers don't like what I come up with (and none of the far eastern retailers will take any heavy shirt or jacket anyway), 150 is far too many for me to sell on my own.

G, thanks for your patience in explaining the reality. It's interesting to hear about how the brand works from the inside. In my mind it's like "while we're making a bunch of red and black shirts, let's just make some blue and black ones as well! Why not?" Haha.

What color do you have in mind? And would this be a super heavy?

If we were a "normal" brand perhaps.  But we design all the fabric we use ourselves, we then have to get it made.  We don't just stroll down to the mill and pick up what looks nice.  We used to for shirting and boy was it a lot easier, but shirts appeared by other brands made out of the same fabric, H decided there and then that this was unacceptable, so we design all our own now.  It adds complication, takes up a lot of Harakis bandwidth, takes time and calls for large minimum quantities.  But the up side is, the fabrics are unique to us…..

So I guess I should pick up one of those herringbone flannels before they're gone gone gone….

And we love IH for this dedication. It makes everything you release that much more special.

If you don't you'll have to find one on the secondary market, because we won't make again….

Grey/Purple.  And yes super heavy…....I need 2.5 months to get the fabric made and another 1.5 months to get the shirts made up.  That would make a February release........

[ohighyo]

[JCMx800]

Super heavy, grey/purple. Can I fill the form?

[grandmasterben]

[Giles]

G has more votes than P

[superfuzz]

Ha! I don't usually wear much purple but I'd be interested to see how this looks.

[simonc]

Can we do a dark grey and indigo rather than fat goth chick sitting in the gutter in camden lipstick light purple?

[mclaincausey]
