Thanks for all of your support guys – regarding SuFu sunkenshoes' hate comments. I realize now that negs on SuFu can't be taken all too seriously.
BTW, whatever you say Simon-LA but guess what ? I'm wearing my Sugar Cane Okinawas today (a mere 14.5 oz) and I love them as much as I love my Iron Hearts. No lie. I seriously do. I'd just as easily buy another pair of Sugar Cane (Hawaii) or a heavy-weight pair of Samurai (21-oz or up) and be quite happy -- yes, while spending $300++ -- and I will love them as much as I do my Iron Hearts.

Looks like a stock broker's workstation. That also explains the no jeans rule.
I was thinking the same Till, but then…I concluded oppositely to you -- I thought, stockbroker ? Why the hell not wear jeans ? You're sitting in front of a tube all day !
Matter of social standing, and professional appearance representing a company that deals with huge amounts of money. Even in the US I believe the guys at the big brokerage firms are supposed to dress the part. It's a mindset that if you are shifting millions you shouldn't be dressed like a slacker or common worker.

@Piddan:
the main thing about the shirts were that, imo, the fabric is too heavy and not suitable for a shirt - didnt look good when you rolled up the arms. which i didnt like cuz i almost always wear my shirts like that. i dont like press buttons on anything that isnt a denim shirt either. now they might use press buttons cuz of the heavy fabric, guess they would be harder to button up otherwise. and the jeans were, well, sanforized and i didnt like the rivets either. so yeah, mostly personal preferences. nothing wrong with the quality!
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?????????????????????????????????????
i didnt want to be a dick to the guy there, but…

I meet my friend y'day (he took the photos of me with the Ande Whall's) who has been wearing his FH1001 continuous, 54th day today (including a weeks trip to Turkey.) - first washed planned on 31st July…yes another OCD denim lover ..he loves em and the evo looks wicked, great whiskers and combs coming through...he wouldn't let me take pics and post though.....bit shy about coming out of the denim-head closet !

Till, is spot-on. But I am a common worker, blue-collar back ground and proud of it ! I left school at 16 (as did my twin) and we got lucky / with some hard work thrown in with our jobs…..but there is zero karma in this industry. peace-out.
Or you could call it "instant karma". You do well, the reward will be big. You screw up, and instant karma will pulverize you. Unless you are so high up that you can squander away billions and still get away with it until "slow karma" might eventually catch up.

Bummer ! I was too obese for the IH-9461 W29 (SuperBlack boot cut) which Giles just sent me, so I'm shipping them back. Well, it's really weird…I have several pair of W28/29 IH jeans from Giles and Kiya but I've never had a 2nd button problem ! What I mean is, yes…I usually have difficulty buttoning up the top button -- which works itself out because Iron Hearts stretch so profusely that upon 2 weeks, the jeans are actually a bit loose and require a belt. But the 2nd-from-the-top-button ? Never. I've never ever struggled with that one. But with the latest shipped jeans from G., I had that problem so I'm sending the jeans back to him this morning.
The red IHSH-16 Heavy Chambray though is indescribable. Seriously, I'm orgasmic over it. Peeps, if you have not bought this shirt in SOME COLOR -- please get one !
Next week, I'll receive the Iron Heart Ladies Denim Jacket in a "Medium". Hope it fits or Shubha's gonna be saddddddd....

You may wonder. Why did Shubha just sign up to ruin her life ? There was nothing wrong with her previous job. She's adored and well-respected, the job was very stable. Here's the answer : for a challenge. I'm into constantly pushing and challenging myself – that's my life motto. That's why.
