      In "The Australian" - you will have to sign up for free 28 digital pass to be able to view…

      http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/features/raised-in-japan/story-e6frg8io-1226369409732

      If you're using Chrome, run a Google search for the following:

      site:theaustralian.com.au ironheart

      Then right click on the link "Raised in Japan", and select the "Open Link in Incognito Window" option. That gets around the Australian's paywall. 😉

      You might be able to pull the same trick in Safari (haven't tried), as it's based on the same Webkit core.

                            After the last question, we got distracted looking at various pairs and left for lunch! Hence the rather abrupt ending.

                            I can only imagine!.. Very cool interview, covers all the bases, good read!..

                              What a wonderful piece. I really enjoyed it. It's amazing how connected things like this make consumers like me feel to the business/brand. It's such a rare phenomenon, and there are many lessons contained within. Thank you for posting that.

                                Really enjoyed that G, I have shared it on FB for all the people who seem to ask me and Pam about Iron Heart. It should be required reading when you join this forum.

                                    General Giles…now I really liked that 😃
                                    that really was a great interview sir. great questions from sk as well as great and very informative answers for us - the customers - to understand even more how it all started, how IH works, what's it all about and how much insight we actually get for you guys to see what's going on with new ideas and products...so thanks for that GG 😉

                                          I thought this was interesting too. I see quite a lot of Edwin denim being worn around London and this factoid makes me respect the brand a little more, heh.

                                          (I still need to visit Gosport at some point too)
