IHSH-75 - 12oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Work Shirt
-
We have some serious production issues in Japan at the moment, as does everyone in the business. The whole industry is going through a paradigm shift, as demand for quality clothing falls in Japan and more and more facilities get off-shored to China, Indonesia, Thailand etc. This a majorly complex issue and I could talk about it for hours.
Bottom line at the moment is that some of our production timeframes have gone off the scale. We are never first in the queue at any given factory because our stuff is harder than any one elses to make, our N1's were late this year because the factory making them needed to get cash through the door, so bumped our N1's for something easier to make. That was actually better than the factory going bust.
Our IHSH-107's were late because the factory making them went bust in the middle of production. Haraki had to drive down to Kojima overnight to spring them, part made, from the factory and find somewhere else that could finish them off.
We are on the 4th mill to make our 17oz duck in the last 2 years, the other 3 have gone bust….
We have plans to improve things, but they take time to implement.
So bottom line, we may not see a rerun of the IHSH-75's for 4-5 months. I am trying to release a 12oz indigo/indigo version sooner. Why can I do that? Because I can get a new shirt made at a new factory much easier than getting an existing shirt made at a new factory.

Think I read somewhere that some ELS cotton varieties are naturally antimicrobial. This could account for the lack of odor. Looking sharp as usual @TrickHell

Possibly my favourite lyrics of all time…
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
there's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
