Samples - New Products We Are Working On

[Giles]

Have not decided.  I'm tempted by the 17oz natural indigo/organic…..

[henry_david]

Damn that's good, @Giles. Will there be an option for multiple hardware choices? Or will it be as-is?

[Giles]

The tack buttons can easily be pimped, but we only have zinc as an alternative.  If you did that, you'd need to consider what snap to pimp with on the RHS chest pocket….

17oz could be cool for sure. Seems like a lot of chore coats I've seen are classically lighter denim, so maybe even the 14oz could work. As much as I like heavyweight, I'd almost like something like this to lean light.

EDIT: looking at the 17oz fades on the forum, that denim would be probably be spot-on. Nice vintage look, perfect for a chore coat.

I'm also thinking selvedge olive chino cloth…..

God, I hope these sell, I have a b'zillion ideas....

[Appfaff]

I would instantly wear an Olive (bonus points for HBT) Chore coat with a White Chambray and some 14oz indigo 712s

Kinda like a gentleman farmer, kinda like a data analyst.. not sure which one it leans towards more…

[Olly]

Gimme that fit in the olive, with a straight cut matching chino or work pant. Probably an olive paint pant so I can wear it with my Wescos. Heavy weight white T, burlap wescos, natural tan belt.. boom! There’s your uniform. On the bike to work, into a meeting, finish the day and go out for a fancy dinner. No need to change clothes even once. Even do a bit of a pruning in the garden, if you’re into that. MAKE IT MAKE IT MAKE IT MAKE IT!

Olive sateen or ventile would get my vote!

Whipcord!

Maybe it’s too basic, but moleskin is classic for a reason. If IH really wanted a chore coat that would stand out, make it out of UHF.

[sabergirl]

Moleskin would be awesome too.

Hey @Giles — I know they're still quite a way off, but just curious when the new UHR will happen. Looking like fall? Might be as yet undetermined. Just psyched about em!

[Giles]

We are having to make the denim (obviously :)), then we will have to sample the new cuts (and maybe the old cuts too, to be super-safe) and then when we are happy, go into production.  To be honest, I'm assuming the earliest will be late fall…..Sorry.

[popvulture]

Cool, was more just asking for financial planning reasons, so that's great

Plus it's basically too hot to wear those here already, so fall is doubly good. Thank you!

Perhaps by “old cuts” we may see the 634s in UHR again   

[Giles]

All 5 core cuts (555, 634, 666, 777 7 888) will be released at some point or other in the UHR, the new raw, the slubby and the 21 selvedge superblack - and there is always the chance of a "bonus cut"…..

@Dstauffer:

Listened to @Alex podcast yesterday, and I believe he said that all the core cuts will get the UHR treatment… wouldn’t be the first time I got confused though.

[popvulture]

I think when @Giles said “old cuts” above, he was just referring to the ones that’d previously been made in UHR, as in they’d sample the newly available cuts (and maybe the old ones too). I also could be wrong! Haha

[Giles]

Exactly.  We have to sample the cuts we have not done in UHR before.  For safety's sake, we will probably choose to sample the cuts we have previously done in UHR (that is what I meant by "old cuts")…Not very clear I grant you, but I knew exactly what I meant
