I passed along that other people agree it needs more fading.

Had anyone ever invited HG to join the thread!?

That's a really good idea! Then he'd see all of this firsthand.

...ah! this was our shot at a perfect match.
Yeah...He feels sending it to and from Japan is too risky.

Even if someone sent him something now, it wouldn't possibly get to him in any timely manner.
He did compare it to the 2018 jacket. Not perfect, but it was close. The base dye they used was black though. They just sprayed it with some sort of blue dye that washes out easily.

Totally understandable. Does anyone know if there is a specific reason HG want to start the presale in April? Personally Id prefer they continued development until such a time that they stick the landing.
Probably just fits their production schedule to plan it like this. They do have many other things they make.

Neither of these look like the jacket that was presented to us today?
Definitely still too dark. That's why I sent them my most recent message of people agreeing it needs more fading.

I'm talking more about the actual colour. Neither in the picture above seems anywhere near as blue as the jacket today. I'm assuming the vest on the left is legit, is that correct. It appears grey (as does the one on the right). Sadly this is the weak link in colour matching via digital images and without specific Pantone's.

What are your thoughts on asking HG to join the forum? I believe you have established good contact with them. We speculate so much on here and having the answers direct from the manufacturer would be so handy

Hi, apologies would you kindly add some context to what these images are for me please. Neither of them look much like what HG showed us today (i.e. both appear grey and blue rather than blue and blue)

The one on the left is my correct color two-tone jacket outside with the midday sun on it. The right photo is the same spot, indoors with warm lighting. HeadGoonie's does not match either.
What Guess piece is this from? Can we see the whole thing?

The jacket that I bought from you. I've worn it practically every day since I got it!
Ohhh right. Sorry I forgot.

Thanks!! ...agreed, sadly HG's colours were completely off compared to your original, though again it's so hard to judge on digital imagery alone.
