Artist Denim

[Giles]

Here is a statement I just received from Haraki…..

_Mr.G

I found out where the denim were from.
About 6 rolls of denim Mr Gun has were from the mill that is making IH denim.
Those are inferior fabrics which we call "rank C" quality.
We classify our fabrics into rank A, rank B ( a good part can be used
for products ) and rank C ( so bad that none can not use for products )

This time, our C fabrics happened to mixed with another oz denims.
The company buying inferior fabrics in Japan bought those fabrics and
somebody bought in Thai.

I just discussed about this with Mr. Ono TSS.
He promised our IH denim (includes 21oz) never sold to anybody from now on.

Could you please state this to our customer at forum?
These are IH denim. but these are "rank C" denim which never used for
our products.
From now on, our denim will never be sold to anybody even if it's poor
quality fabric like "rank C"

We are very sorry for the problem. I will take care severely and be
careful not to happen again.

Boom - Haraki with the save.

Hah
Let's spread it to other forums.
I already post it on darahkubiru
And how about the fabrics that Gun already buy? Are Haraki will buy it from him?

[Giles]

As far as I'm concerned, it's grade 3 fabric.  It should not be out there, but we're not going to bother getting it back….

[Giles]

But please, no witch hunt.  We have found the leak and fixed it.  It's history now…

What about those of us loyals that would love to drape our entire dwellings with it…Even if it is Grad C?

The funny part is that IH Grade C is probably better than Levi's Grade A.

Ha, ha, that's real funny and true (perhaps)…..
So my next question:  What is going to happen to this bolt of fabric?  Seems like it is a huge waste,..... but of course as in any manufacturing processes, there will be QC and rejects.

I JUST ORDERED A PAIR!!!!!!!

ok, just kidding. i cant get jiggy with that shit! Its not true to my Iron Heart!

Seriously though, I am confused now. I was considering buying a pair of Artist jeans before this recent development. Now I don't know.

On one hand it's a shame to see IH denim escaping the IH precinct. On the other hand, I can't blame the guy for trying to get his hands on good denim. At least he's not making fakes and passing them off as IH.

Anyway, as Giles said, no witch hunt.

Spilt milk.

Gun is a good guy doing something we'd all probably like to try.  I bought a pair of the original skinny model he came out with and was happy with what he promised.  The only reason I won't wear them is they're too damn skinny.  The man clearly saw an opportunity and went after it.

Totally second what Dave wrote about Gun and his product.
