Samples - New Products We Are Working On

[Giles]

I'm sorry, but we put that on hold for a while, we simply had too many other types of denim coming out.  We'll likley kick-start it at some point, but have no short-term plans…..

Gotcha. I just didn’t want to order another pair of 9666Z’s and then have the new version come out a few months later.

Five or six weeks away…..

21oz indigo denim and Buttero leather.....

The orange seam is genius!

The Son of 533? Fine looking jacket. I think the lightest toned collar looks great as well.

[Giles]

We will likely make the collar darker in production, that is why the 2 swatches are in the pic.  Tom and H thinks there is too much indigo transfer on the lighter colour

[Eisenherz]

C o o l!!!

Yes please darker collar…
How are sleeves lined?

[Giles]

We asked for quilted orange satin in the sample request.  Whether or not that has been done, we will not know until they arrive here…...But I see no reason why they will have ignored our request.....

[Eisenherz]

Thats good news!

[Giles]

BTW

It fits me 

Trouble is, I am hardly in the office these days, and I can't imagine the bunfight that will happen when the boys open the carton…..

Shame about the transfer as I really like the contrast. The other two will work beautifully, regardless.

@Giles:

dark brown of the moleskin would be a nice shade.. if only those samples were my size.. 

[Dstauffer]

What’s the weight of the denim on those?

Are you thinking an IH modified III with longer body/sleeve length or a more “classic” fit?

This would also look pretty amazing in corduroy and/or whipcord…

17oz natural Indigo

Sized like the IH-526J-142

In a previous life, I made and sold Titanium Fly Fishing reels.  Well, I did not make them myself but had them made by a couple of craftsmen in the Town of Kharkiv in Ukraine.  Kharkiv was pivotal in the USSR's manufacturing of stuff for the space race and military weapons.  So they had/have some extremely talented engineers who are good at working with Titanium.  Come the fall of the wall, many of them were twiddling their thumbs.  I got a couple of them untwiddling their thumbs.  One of the reels we made was priced at USD10,000 - we only made 30 

Anyway, I had an idea and contacted one of them and asked him to machine me some Titanium N1 buttons.

Full metal jacket pimpage.

Here are the first samples….

Pricing yet to be determined, but don't worry, they'll be reassuringly expensive...

And here are some of the reels (and a titanium bolt from a MiG-31)

If anyone recognises the large reel, it is the first prototype for The Hardy Zane Ti Saltwater Fly Reel….

Just give me a second to take my jaw off the floor. Nice!…Was initially responding to the jacket.
