Giles and Haraki's UK road trip
-
Probably not particularly popular in Outer Mongolia either, but we look to try and come out with stuff that will appeal to different demographics/geographics. Just because it wont sell in Finland does not mean it won't sell in Japan which is the market we are aiming this at….
If I only took the stuff that Haraki sells domestically, there would be a load of stuff that you guys like that would not be available....

the world is a big place injun. what may be in favor here may/maynot be over there. no simpler way for me to really put it.
more importantly, you go to the beat of your own drumer, who cares what anyone is/isn't wearing
looks like G responded, but since i don't delete my posts. . . .

**that varsiety is the shit & i can understand why Ayumi fell in love with it
It is now Ayumi's. Will said he would give it to her as a prezzie….

BK. It would be on my back now, but Will had made a standard XL for our sizing discussions yesterday. He is making me one longer in the arms, I'll have it very soon. I went with the side pockets option. Plan is, I beat the living crap out of before I go to Japan in November, Will really wants Haraki to see an aged one, not sure why, as Haraki is totally 100% in love with the oil pull. In fact, so in love that we will be making a biker type fanny pack in it too (at Chapman), oh and a Type III with pockets…...
Sounds like the aero/IH link-up is going to yield some great stuff. Can't wait to see more of the western and the Type III sounds pretty exciting too.

No offence meant. My post obviously didn't came out like I meant it to be. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to write something in foreign language, so it doesn't sound blunt.
I've been a biker about 30 years now and a patchholder almost since the beginning. So I do know something about bikers and that scene, also around the globe.
Biker culture and scene is Japan is pretty much different from it's western manifestation (dunno if this is correct term).So, in short what I meant to utter is that if biker fanny packs are big hits in the land of the rising sun, they might not be that big hit in (at least biker community) here in western hemispere. So, my humble opinion ist that one should be carefull when stocking these.
just my 1€ cents worth.
ps. One that rides a bike/harley/whatever on 2 wheels is not outright a biker. It takes a bit more than that.

one of the coolest bags I have ever seen and it's a "fanny pack". just sling it of the shoulders though and it's no longer a fanny pack

No, I dropped them off in London last night. They're staying there until Saturday, then we all come to Zurich together. I go to Spencer Hart with them tomorrow to train the sales staff…..How's that, getting trained by the Boss?

injun, i forget that all on the forum are not native english speakers & sometimes read into things too much. seems that was the case above.
