Japan November 2017 - Alex and Giles

[Dstauffer]

LOVE this! I am a bootcut dude, but the 634s meet my needs. Excitied about learning more about this cut…perhaps in UHR

[Giles]

Just agreed to do the following.

We will start (another) new brand, name to be decided.  It will make shirts that can be smart casual or smart smart.  Construction will include a collar bone pocket.  @Warner I need Good Art collar bones please…....

The shirts will be made in the same factory as our existing shirts are made.

Saw the first sample today and we have quite a lot of tweaks to make, but we love what we saw.

We will use selvedge silk with almost zero sheen, the construction is about the finest I have ever seen.

The weight of silk is measured in momme, and will make our shirts out of (yes, you guessed it), 21 momme.....

The 2nd sample is being made shortly.....

Afternoon tea, Gosport meets Shibuya styley…..

[Seul]

Exciting news, G… Can't wait to see that sample...

[Warner]

Oh G, I’m in for collar bones… at least.

The smart shirts sound interesting. Like @Seul I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I'm liking the fact that you imported Waitrose scones and Tiptree jam to Japan.

Smart shirts is great news. Also every time I see Haraki-san eating (which he did a lot at Kanreki), it makes me happy. He always looks like he’s doing it with every fibre of his being, and loving every minute of it.

good to hear the blue ombre will be medium weight!

and I miss Japanese food in Japan. So good at a good price!

[Winchy]

No Belgian buns!?

[neph93]

Just so as I know when to lock myself away in a room, when do all the pretty pictures of the S/S gear start arriving?

[Broark]

^ I'm wondering the same thing.

+1….I feel like such a creeper zooming in and trying to make out what’s in that initial pic.

Also, you guys don’t fuck around with butter when it comes to snack time...cheers 

[Dishelveled]

Ha @Dstauffer I thought the same thing about the butter, but I think it is 'clotted cream' we were confusing for butter (I had to look it up–sounds delicious!

Stoked on the smart shirts and two new IH brands.
Incredible news!
