@Giles:

We'll likely auction the sample off soon, if we get as much interest in that as we got from retailers, someone will get a real steal 

what size was the sample? This was my most anticipated item of the year, lol. Can i just pay to get a sample made? Also, i could've sworn Kiya had told me SE was getting a black type I from IH this fall, assumed this was it.

Is there any black x beige denim left?

Making a sample costs about three times as much as it does to make one unit of a production run [emoji15]

I don’t think they’d weave another batch just for a jacket. I assume the plan was to use the remainder from the 634’s on the jacket so I guess there is a roll or two lying around. A certain retailer was considering a special collab jacket amade out of the stuff at one point, but it didn’t happen as the minimums involved (60 items I think) were too high. This also suggests there is a bit left over.

Utterly brilliant denim and it’s strange to the point of ridiculous that the IH-634S-21BLK have been slow sellers. I’d seriously consider buying anything made out of it, regardless of what it was.

A bit too big for me from memory.  We don't do one-offs I am afraid.

You need to ask Kiya what he was talking about.

Yes, lots, I made enough for about 400 pairs of jeans, the IH-634S-21BLK sold like crap, so I'm looking like a prat for getting H to make it.  So I have been thinking of things to make with it.  The Type I was one idea, but that panned, so it's back to the drawing board….

I dunno if it actually equates to sales but I always think black denim works better with slimmer cuts. Maybe the 555 or 777 would sell more of the black x beige

[Giles]

That is what I have been thinking too.

[neph93]

Newer more modern cuts may well be the way to go. I know they are more of a slow and steady seller rather than a hot ticket item, but 526V’s seem to be having a moment. This denim would be so good as a jacket/vest.

[Giles]

Yes, in general, the 634S cut serves a pretty conservative crowd….

[Giles]

OK - The Type I is up for auction:

cough  1955S  cough

[JDelage]

Argh - too big for me. I would have loved to get it. Boohoo….     

[Giles]

If the 634 does not sell in this denim, then it's a slam dunk that the 1955 won't either…..

[JDelage]

I know, I know…

Could be that work shirt CPO that's been floating around? It's be interesting to see a shirt in that weight of denim.

[Jett129]

You beat me to it with the CPO idea. Since it’s already black,overdye a sample of something Indigo,which might be really cool,or ugly AF.

The Untucked in black x beige?

I’ve been waiting for a 666 cut in this denim. I’d just as happily take a 777. Tonal stitching, of course.
