            Question for Haraki-San:
            Are you aware that the quality and fit of IH products is so good, some of your customers are simply unable to purchase clothes from any other brand? 🙂

              Question for Haraki-San:
              Is there a product or item you would like to make, but cannot for whatever reason (e.g. factories just cannot make the fabric, the raw materials cannot be sourced ethically, the pattern is too complicated to construct)?

              And/Or

              When you sit down to design a new piece, do you picture any particular kind of person wearing it? If so, who is the 'model'/Iron Heart customer you imagine?

              Take the dive...

                What deciding factors are considered while determining whether or not a particular denim is selvedge or non-selvedge?

                  @Oaktavia Perhaps my ignorance, but isn't the answer "it's selvedge if it was woven on a shuttle loom and has a 'self-edge', and it's not if it was woven on a projectile loom and does not have such an edge"?

                  Or do you mean to ask "What factors do you consider when deciding whether to use selvedge or non-selvedge denim in a particular garment"?

                  Just worried that something might get lost in translation...

                  Take the dive...

                    I’m guessing @oaktavia wants to know why H “decides” to weave selvedge or non-selvedge denim fabric when ordering it from the looms.

                    The journey is the objective.

                      This is what I was wondering, yes.

                        Describe the first motorcycle you ever owned? Do you still have it?
                        If a foreigner wanted to do a bike tour of Japan, what is a route you would recommend?
                        In your opinion, how has the growing popularity of fast-fashion in the last 10 years changed the landscape of apparel production in Japan, if at all? Do you think, in the face of this, that Iron Heart is a more important brand now than if has ever been?
                        At what point in your relationship together did you truly know that partnering with Giles was the right move?
                        What's your favorite beer when visiting the boys at Iron Heart UK?

                          I wouldn’t have thought about it, but now that @Salted-Racer did, I want to second the question!!
                          Nice one!

                                I dont believe there is any non selvedge denim in the UK line which is too bad since the fit can be better. But it won't sell.

                                Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                Well, I have others.

                                  @steelworker There used to be a 21OZ superblack that was. I own a pair of em in 634's.

                                    Question to Haraki:

                                    Do you ever have days off (IH) and if so, how do you like to spend them?

                                    Use it or lose it.
