IHT-1110 to 1115 - 2011 3rd release Tee Shirts
-
I'd like to see some better (more detailed) pictures, but I definitely would go for the IHT-1110 in black.

OK Folks. So I will not be ordering these for stock. Will only get those that people "pre-order". I suspect that they will be super limited and I am likely not to be able to fulfill all "pre-orders". Haraki is getting me better images and I will post ASAP. I will start shoipping mid July. Pricing has also risen I am afraid, they will be USD90 each.
Ordering now locked down.

So here is the scoop. Some of you will like this, some of you shorter brethren not so much.
These are the new bodied Tee's.
Yarn : (old) #18 => (new) #14 (so even thicker)
Weight : (old) 7.0oz => (new) 7.5oz dense jersey
Size : 1 inch longer and half inch smaller P2PHaraki has spent the last year narrowing down what he believes to be the perfect Tee, one of his criteria was to support niche Japanese craftsmen for the production
The new body style will be called the "Tokyo Shitamachi Body", which roughly translates to Tokyo Old Town Body. The knitted Jersey is sourced from Wakayama, the dyeing and sewing done in old town Tokyo and the washing and printing done in Kojima. Each workshop/factory chosen specifically for their excellence.
This attention to detail is typical Haraki over-the-topness. Needless to say, he gives not a shit about the cost, he just wants to make the best, hence why these printed Tee's are a little more than previous versions.
And they are loop wheeled…...

think Haraki-San was talking about this on Boss Talk with an image of the new plain navy tee. will see how this works out with the slimmer but longer fit. inho it will be a better fit. . . but won't know for sure until i squeeze my giblets into one.

is it going to be preorder for the new plain tees, or are we flying at the seat of our pants on this one???

Hmmmmm, I'm still interested, but I don't really like the sound of the sizing changes. I'd prefer the body to get slightly wider, then I could comfortably drop down a size. Longer and more narrow isn't my cup of tea. Nonetheless, I'll buy at least one.
