@Hamza-Yunus haha. Glad to hear Mo is taking care of you! He has been super helpful and generous to many on this forum, including myself.

@Kasi Thanks for your kind words and sheer-confidence in me.

@T4920 I do wanna say we met on tinder where he swiped-right on me. I dont know right jargon these days. Or what gen z and alpha call it.
All jokes aside, he was a God-send. I had posted on a fb group where I wanted to buy a pair of IH jeans. Since they are costly and I don't earn in dollars or Sterling pounds, so used one was a great option for me. LIKE rest of the protein-dudes, I fell for my passion. He texted me on Fb saying he had a pair he wanted to sell. One thing led to another like normally it happens in life
or somewhere else, not sure !! :), we got to talking, he turned out to be my part country-fellow, somewhat city fellow as well from Pakistan. He might not be expecting a random Pakistani guy into IH JEANS AND OH boy, the balls on him .. he did politely ask me about it like how I knew IH. I told him there was more to me than met the eye. He was kind enough to.play along. When a man like him hangs out with Harashi (brand owner), Giles[ brit owner] and Shane [ German owner], u don't let that guy go. U stick to him or Even by him.
Anyhow, along our chatting, i got to offend him, as a gentleman he his, he let that slide and understood well.
So, we talked and talked, he told and showed me his experiences, his journey and all the perks along the ride. He still did not tell me.what he do for a living and how is he in the same room as those Japanese denim brand owners. I m sure does well what he does.
So in inclusion, i bought my first pair off him. He was kind enough to sort out shipping and payment details.Though I live in Pakistan, like every tragic movie, the lady runs off to Canada and then comes to u
So my pair from the Brexit-clad-UK is bound for Canada and then to Pakistan
to her ultimate lover. Let's see how, long it takes from C to P.
I don't know how it got so long. It's worth telling.
PS: he did not ask me to write all this...
PSS: take jokes as jokes, y'all !! -
Big message there
keep doing your thing -
@Kasi i just told what happened.. they can fact-check my story from u !!

@Hamza-Yunus nice story, cool to see fellow countrymen helping each other out!
@Kasi has real passion for all of this, and made me feel very welcome when I attended my first (and second) Iron Heart party!
Hope that one day you get the chance to come to one

Mo I hope Rudy don't see all of this or he will get jelous

@T4920 Attending an IH party would require more than just crossed fingers—or even crossed legs. I'm not someone who typically aims for the stars, but having that in my portfolio would be amazing. Who knows, maybe one day it could happen. Unless, of course, he brings the party to Pakistan, though the chances of that feel as slim as thin air.

@labrat thanks gentleman!! I feel honored to be here.
-
@T4920 so far, the only thing I did not like about Mo is that he lives in Manchester and he does not care if the sky is red or blue there. That's like life or death there, Beatles or Rolling stones there. No one is perfect, we r humans, we all have flaws, still we love and care for each other, right?
-
Mo is this true you live with a man named Chester ?

Pointed Musing
It occurs to me that the inimitable Shinichi Haraki (and his Japanese team - somewhat like the tinkering and racing success of the late American Carroll Shelby) have created (with the considerable marketing foresight of Englishman Giles Padmore and his team) this outlet for a global consortium of high-minded people who represent and promote the distilled best of what human culture has created. Although I fear for the future of humanity (there are too fucking many of us), this forum is a safe place to interact and enjoy people who strive for their best. Some might think Duh!, but I want to state the obvious, and sincerely thank the afore-mentioned people and their organizations for helping to sustain what remains of my faith in mankind (old enough to know what was). I recently witnessed the 101-year-old Canadian John Neu receiving the French Legion Of Honour, "There are some countries in the world who are going through the same hiccup that Europe went through before the second world war. I can see the signs." It was extremely emotional for me to hear this man relate his experience of attending Bergen-Belsen shortly before victory in 1945 and helping the Allies bury thousands in mass graves. This survivor crossed the ocean at 19 years to fight for the freedom that I enjoy in Canada today. What he lived through makes me feel inadequate. I wonder how willingly today's 19 year olds (or any of us) would take up that mantle and put their lives on the line to survive against the odds. High-minded, indeed.
