And a dilemma: I have a "Blue Bag (of goodness)" arriving today, which is fantastic and just the sort of excellent retail therapy I need after a truly horrendous couple of weeks… But, everyone will be out earning a living (or a close approximation of same). Do I wait in (technically it's my day off though I've said I'll go in) and make sure? Or do I dash back in my lunch hour and hope that it arrives in the 40mins I'll be in?
At the moment I'm currently owed two days and 4 1/2 hrs overtime from work. If I go in today (5hrs and counting :() then I'll a) feel like, and probably be treated like shit b) possibly have to wait almost a week for my next consignment.
On the other hand, I did sort of promise the only member of staff (in a position of authority) that I have any respect for that I'd be in...
Hmm...

Currently leaning towards: Phone up, explain I'm waiting on a parcel, go in after it arrives. With going in earlier/staying later (to extend lunch break) a distant second… The trouble is my Dept head gets into work only an hour before I'm due to start.

The Japanese obsession with Americana? I dunno. Personally, I'd like to see a bit more stuff with Japanese kanji instead.
-
Most Japanese can speak English far better than us from the US/ UK can speak Japanese, they're all taught English to a basic level at school, but in my experience there is some shyness about using their English to someone who speaks it a their native language.
I think that certainly most denim companies are strongly influenced in their designs by the old school heavy hitter denim brands like Levi's, Wrangler and Lee, including the labelling. Most of this stems from the clothing and styles worn by the occupying GI's after WWII.

Has anyone had trouble getting through the airport scanner while wearing Iron Heart denim?
I flew roundtrip from ABQ to Dallas wearing my SR's and was patted down at both airports. The two individuals who performed the security check said that the reason was probably my jeans. One was mumbling to himself, "These things are thick! They probably couldn't see through all these creases."
-
wearing boots during the security check. i had to take´em (Red Wing GT & Yuketen Johnson) of after the scanner made some noice!
Here in the states we get to remove our shoes EVERY time we go through security. SO much fun.

AND they make you stand with your feet inside the yellow outlines on the mat, so disgusting. Just think of how many sloppy people's fungusy feet have been in that exact same spot wearing sweaty socks…EWWWW.
I try to stand on the sides of my feet to make as little contact with the mat as possible. Lovely world we live in.

You and me both! Oh and I always wears my non-hemmed jeans while traveling so that I can cover my feet with the denim while walking without shoes.

Awesome idea! Will do..

Just noticed that both the white chambray work shirts are listed as Endangered. Are they going to be replaced with westerns? Or will there be another version of the work shirts coming?
And will any replacement be Extant?
Might need a decent white shirt in the next few months…

What's the black shirt in this photo??
Edit. While I'm here and in a questioning frame of mind… IH-V's 02, 03 and 04 are up. What will IH-V 01 be?? Black Duck?
Also, the Duck Vest is the only one priced at the moment. Will they all be the same price??
This is all I need to know for now ( IH related).

Blimey! The TW 05 is a lot lighter then. I thought for a wild moment it could be a new black denim shirt.
