@Giles:

I'd guess it at 11-12oz

@Omega:

Better hurry up, the larger sizes in khaki are all gone.  But I am sure G can work something out if he is out of your size.

G been looking for his shirt for years and I finally found it but sold out in my size.  Any chance to get a khaki in xl or Xxl?
Thank You!

[Giles]

Jwood - Welcome….& Damn

There are none left in Japan.  I am finding out if Haraki intends to do a rerun.....

[Omega Man]

Not sure if Kiya at SE has received his stock yet.  You can also try him, but I know he is not taking the ivory.  Good luck.

[Jwood]

Thanks a toon guys! Good info fast is greatly appreciated!

[Giles]

Haraki is rerunning these…...

@Giles:

Haraki is rerunning these…...

this means that you can remove the "endangered" on the webpage, right? or am i wrong?

[Giles]

No because it will not be a continually produced item. It will still die soonish, but as we woefully under-made (especially the khaki), we producing a few more…

[Finn666]

as always thanks for the fast answer G.!…

If there was a small polling tab on each page with sizes and desire to purchase you'd get a fair idea of what kind of crush to expect.

[Giles]

I've tried it.  You get bollocks data. If there is no fiscal penalty for "committing", every man and his dog has a vote, especially when it is anonymous,  Even when I got people to complete a form which includes their email address, the data is still suspect.  Additionally we do not have specific and accurate sizing data until after the production run is completed, by then it is too late.

Believe me, I have sat up until the small hours on many a night trying to figure out how to do this.

[simonc]

i don't think it should be on a commitment to buy, i just think it should be on commitment of love and the person's size, for example the khaki would have gone off the chart in the XL sizes which you would have been forewarned about and the users left their emails perhaps you could double firm it up before ordering your numbers.  Here check out this site you can list the questions how you like I use it. http://kissinsights.com/

[Giles]

I've done something similar in the past, because I wanted to stop this happening…

If it is not a commitment to buy, then everyone has a vote just in case…...

And honestly this is the biggest issue.  I ask for numbers and I get 10 x L and 30 x XL and 5 x XXL indicated as being needed,  so that is what I order.  We get the sizing wrong, which unfortunately does happen (IHSH-46 was a size to small), so I actually get made 5 x M, 30 x L and 5 x XL.  Now I'm in deep shit...

[bagley920]

Isn't that why you do samples G? or is that only for certain items?

[Giles]

We sample everything and that is normally a pretty good indicator, but it is not fool proof….It does not happen with us, but some jeans makers jean sizing changes drastically between production runs....

Giles- This seems like a situation that you can try to manage but never completely control.  Slight variations in sizing have me between L and XL in IH shirts.  I have (I think) 3 XLs and 2 Larges and I can never be sure until the sizing chart comes out.  For me, this is mostly a shoulder measurement issue.  I probably would have purchased an XL in the khaki version of this shirt, but I bet I would have voted for a Large before knowing the actual sizes.

[Giles]

It is the single biggest conundrum I face.

If I could crack it I would, because if I could perfectly match supply and demand then I would:

a) Be extremely wealthy
b) Have a seriously easy life
c) Do something no one else has ever achieved

[bagley920]

For me, the most important measurement is the chest, maybe you could get preorders by chest size instead of tagged size, just a thought…

And you would have done it all with only 8 toes…
