Samples - New Products We Are Working On

@Giles:

Without wanting to generalise, the Japanese nation sometimes really struggle to think outside the box.  The guy had moved on, so it was impossible…

It is a fixed mindset issue, which I how found to be prevent with many of the engineers I work with, like 1+1=2.  If “1” is not longer there, then there can be no “2” [emoji3166].  Math is easy to teach and learn, the rules are preset, just follow them (generally speaking, I don’t want the theoretical physicists throwing rocks at me).  But it is much harder to teach adaptability, or what I call dreamability.  Ok, so we want 2, but 1 no longer exists…. would it be possible to find a 4 and ask them to get rid of 3??  Maybe.... we could develop a 234 and somehow divide it by 117 [emoji2369].  Or is it possible to just create a 2 from nothing? [emoji2962].  It takes both the dreamer and the engineer to make a flying machine [emoji6]

Absolutely.  I still kick myself for not really noticing that we had stopped making them…..

You should probably focus on the bit where you did realise and got them going again.

And how…

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to swing one of those leather shirts but damn I’m gonna try.

Hey guys, any ETA on the storm rider or 14oz blanket-lined CPO?

Last I heard was late August for storm rider and I can't find any info on the CPO.  I'm pretty sure I didn't just dream it

Stormrider ETA is late Sept/early Oct. I don’t know about the CPO!

[Hematoma]

Sorry if I missed this, but what is the ETA on blackxblack Type IIs if they’re getting made?

[Giles]

They are being made.  I would guess that they will be ready in Dec.  Self Edge will have exclusivity for a few months…

Any update on the Stormrider???? Not that I have been patiently (totally impatiently) pacing back and forth on this one for like 2 years now [emoji1787] [emoji33][emoji3064]

I have just rattled some cages.

Last update still says early Sept, so I've asked that someone goes through and updates schedules so that they have some semblance of accuracy….

Cage-rattling success….

Arrived in Kojima, should be here in a week or so.....

Did you guys decide if you were tweaking the 888’s?

We aren't at the moment, there are just too many existing 888 iterations…..Plus, it's one of our most popular cuts, we're reluctant to tamper....

Olive whipcord fishtail parka, maybe even with an optional button in liner….

First sample was ready for Selvedge Run a few months ago.  Second sample somewhere in the making…..

Happy to see this-I like the 666 and 634 but 888 is the one.
