@giles What pair of Jeans are you currently wearing? Is there any new evo on the double duck or have they been replaced by a new pair?

[Giles]

I am currently rotating

IH-666-LB - Monster evo - Pics tomorrow
IH-816-DD - Nice evo - Pics tomorrow
IH-666-XHS (WMC Edition) - Negligible Evo - not worth photgraphing

Waiting patiently to beat the living crap out of a sample IH-666S-14

Cool, thanks!

IHSH-OHB: Super duper limited, endangered or possibly extant?

[Anesthetist]

Gonna guess like most first run shirts, it's gonna depend on how it sells.

[Giles]

Correctissimo….

When do the 14 ozers roughly gonna hit up?

[Giles]

Due to an unfortunate (but ultimately brilliant) accident the first 10 or so rolls of the new denim were woven with the wrong weft…..Doh.  It came out lighter in weight than we wanted.  So that has delayed things a little, I'm hoping to see finished samples when I am in Japan in 4 weeks or so, and see general availability March-ish.

Why the brilliance?  Because we have a 13 or so ounce vintage type denim to make shirts from....Feckin BOOM....

Lucky coincidence!

Enjoy ya addiction!

Wow, that's amazing. (A short-sleeved denim-shirt would kick ass :-X).

Just in time for spring/summer!

Double brilliant. I like a lot. When you say vintage type, what does that refer to?

[Giles]

The fading

[neph93]

At the risk of appearing dumb, does that mean traditional weave with white weft, that isn't specifically designed to create high contrasts? If so, that sounds ace.

[Giles]

White weft/indigo warp…Think mid 20th Century Levi's....

That's what I thought. Perfect.

So we might see an IHSH-33-VIN? Either way I want one already….

Why not make a western shirt with sawtooth pockets.

40 degrees will not shrink anything . You're all good on that. 30 would be even better

[neph93]

60 degrees is equivalent of a warm wash I'd imagine. It'll shrink unsanforized jawns meaningfully and cotton shirts too. 90 degrees will fuck most of your shit up beyond repair.

It will shrink wool, especially Merino or Cashmere, but I am being pedantic… I know you are refering to most IH gear.

Tru dat ^ And that is also where your 30 degrees comes in.
