Last night…

Started off in the outside bar at the hotel…..

Then off to the Mexican, where it does have to be admitted, the star attraction were Toms nails….

Sarina, Ayumi & Tom…

Then to a club/bar…Roger in the groove….

And Damaris gives me the finger….

Back at the hotel, Fredy and Danny try and work out what had gone on earlier…..

[Giles]

A new day and it’s “The Work’s” today…
Jiro

Tom and Sarina (who was feeling a little delicate – I knew it was going to end in tears when last night, she tried to convince me that Tequila actually serves to sober her up……)

Tom and IH-6634…

Tom ‘n Gon….

Pre meeting relaxation….

And in we go…

This is “Mr G’s” corner – yep all that is mine….

Random…

There are in fact two beauties in this pic…..

Some of the new denims
White weft

Grey weft

Roger strokes the new stuff a purrs contentedly….

Random….

Great news.  Haraki said today that despite the fact that I come to Japan twice a year, the meetings are of such value he wants to meet up at least 4 times a year.  So 2 or 3 times a year we will meet somewhere other than Japan.  Next year in Feb it will be South Asia, then he'll come to UK a few weeks later.    Other venues to be confirmed.  He will always bring at least 2 of the crew with him.....

Trucker jacket.  18.5oz left hand twill with beige weft.  With pockets and 1 inch longer than standard.

In all probability most if not all, future TW jeans will be natural indigo and organic cotton (and sensibly priced).  We will (wait for it MikeC) do a range of shirts and jackets out of 12oz natural indigo denim.

Type III - based on IH-526J out of brown reverse out (and prob a few other leathers)

Trucker jacket (as per above), out of brown reverse out (and prob a few other leathers)

[Giles]

Spotted these that I made for H a few years ago,  Still gracing The Works (long empty though)….

Lunch – this was served with Kentucky Fried Chicken (Haraki’s dream food combo………)

14.5oz natural indigo sample – 634S styley……

Tools of the trade

[Giles]

One/Some of these prototypes will make production soon….

[Giles]

Tom2…

Toms self knitted hat and the new IH hand knitted hat (guess which is which……..)……

With Da Boss…..

First time I have seen this.  Jeez, it is amazing – seriously amazing…..

Hotel bound….

That’s all for now folks…..

[Megatron1505]

I need that hat (not Toms), where and when to cop  ???

[Chiba J.]

Awesome pics!

White waffle henley, pea coat, and knit hat are outstanding!

[simonc]

Beige weft?  Further Work Pants perhaps?

[MikeC]

Holy fuck.

Give me that Natural Indigo yo.  Haraki-San is the fucking man.  Also, please keep that TW leather patch, I hate the goatskin because my belt slips over it.

I was happy with the pics of the Works Inc girls…..

[Guest]
