    There is and will continue to be massive pressure to increase prices on all Japanese made goods and services unless the Yen weakens against the major western currencies.

    The retailer margins on Iron Heart were at the limit of what retailers find acceptable before they saw wholesale rise by 20%, which is effectively what has happened over the last couple of months.

    I'd suggest that if you are in the market for anything Japanese, you buy it now unless you know something that I don't….

          Probably has something to do with her being French- a fact mentioned three times in a two paragraph article, so it must be important.

                whats the best way to get snuff juice stains out?
                can Iron Heart UK hem them?
                …

                    I'm glad I didn't like any of it. I wouldn't think of buying 1 of anything. HaHa.

                              Anyone (Giles) know who this guy from The Style Archives booklet is? When I grow up I want to be like him

                                General fit question here for guys with a little bit of a beer gut: what's your comfort level with a little bit of pull on the buttons when you're sitting down? None? Some? "As long as you can't bust the button open with your stomach alone"? "As long as the fit when standing looks good"?

                                  Does anyone know where to source buckles for engineers that are either enamel painted or powder coated? (Preferably over brass)

                                    With the release of the (really beautiful) 777XHS and the expansion of the 777 line recently, which I assume is at least partially driven by demand, I have to selfishly ask, is the 555 line going to be developed any more or has it peaked?

                                      Jury's out….We may continue to re-release existing versions, but to a great extent that will be driven by retailer demand and not me.  I think it unlikely that we'll develop new versions.  Though, that is not 100% decided....

                                        Good to know. While I'd love a seriously heavy pair of 555's I still have no jeans in the 18oz, so at least I have that to look forward to in the 555.
