Met with Haraki, Tom and Sarina today with Kiya and Andrew.

My present to H:
A FQHH weekender - sample made by John Chapman….

First sample of IHSH-53 Mk II…

I may decide to use these new iron buttons instead of the Ali…

When H decides to sample a new denim, he does it right…
18.5oz Left Hand Twill with 3 different colour wefts
18.5oz Right Hand Twill with 3 different colour wefts
19oz Left Hand Twill with 3 different colour wefts
19oz Right Hand Twill with 3 different colour wefts
Just the 12 new denims to choose from

Toms sparkly Chucks…

The IHSH-53 looks hot as fuck. I need that shit…..

[MikeC]

What is left right twill, broken twill?  Are they all Sanforized?

[Giles]

My typo,  I have corrected it.
All sanforised.

[MikeC]

Haraki-San is really selling me on that new vest.  I like how he rocks it.

what's underneath the 33/71?

[Chris]

What are the weft colors?

Iron buttons look cool, too.  Be interesting to see them after a few washes and rust sets in.

From a luggage perspective.  I sent Chapman leather 2 Horse Hides and asked them to make a couple of samples.  Haraki and I will start tweaking the design tomorrow…..MikeC saw my sample.....

Went to The Flat Head Show this afternoon with The Swiss Family Hatt and Danny from Rivet and Hide.  I only took 2 pics and they are both for Finn…

Just off to the bar to meet up with everyone, Tom and Sarina are joining us for the evening, there will be 12 of us.  Then it is off to a new Mexican just up the road.  JPY3,500 (about USD45) per head for a decent meal and all you can drink (of just about anything) for 2 and a half hours.  Have a strong feeling they will be filing for bankruptcy tomorrow…..
