Holy crap, good going

@Shoreman:

Who is Sarina in relation to the IH crew?

As said above, she is the daughter of one of Haraki's long term friends.  It is his company that screen prints all the IH Tee's and Sweats and it is more often than not Sarina who actually does the printing.  Her English is brilliant so she also acts as interpreter.

[Giles]

When we travel together, we have a "word of the day".  Today's word was bloody, which Sarina used all the time.  I suspect that one of the transcripts of one of the interviews we did today will read as.  "My favourite bloody denim is bloody 21oz especially in the bloody 21oz cut".

I sneezed at dinner tonight and she said, "Bloody bless you"…..

Enjoy ya bloody dinner!

Enjoy ya addiction!

[Seul]

I can already tell she's a bloody nice girl!..

[Giles]

The restaurant we went to tonight was squeezed in between a variety of "massage parlours".  Sarina asked me if i could explain what a "fashion massage" was, I said that I did not know and even if I did I woud not tell her.  Latter on, over dinner, she asked me if this was a fashion massage…..

[Seul]

Ok I officially love this girl…

[Giles]

This caused a long debate in the car as to what it was.  I told Tom and Sarina I'd pop a similar sign on their hotel room door and they could probably charge 10 Baht a pop….

[Giles]

It's 1:45 and I am officially knackered.  Just a couple to sign off with. We love the Pronto crew…..

@zendeen:

Epic picture with Sarina causing the guys some troubles

thx for all the pictures and insights.

[ronaldlsh]

I love the Pronto Crew, they have got this vibe and swag. And most importantly, they are pretty friendly people!

10 baht?  I think you're seriously undervaluing the ladies.  I bet they could get 10 baht just for reenacting the "fashion massage" in your earlier post.  Though, admittedly I have no idea what a "love teen" massage is.

You have no idea what a "love teen" massage is?  No wonder you left college in your early 20's.  You were missing the best part!

[Chris]

I think I was having too much of the best part.  Even noon classes are tough to make when you get home at 8 am blitzed out of your skull.

[seanocono]

^Haha, amen to that.

Check out the ProxIH09, it's the Pronto/Iron Heart collab jeans. They are a super skinny cut with showing selvage in the (I think) new 17oz Sanforized, which is a lighter version of the 21oz flagship denim. I love that patch, but color if the arcs is not but my thang…


I hope Haraki and Giles don't get carpal tunnel from all the signing. Haha.

[MikeC]

[seanocono]

MikeC, initially, I shared the same opinion of the arcs on the Pronto. My opinion completely changed after G posted this:

@Giles:

And this is why the arcs are pink…

[Chris]

Yeah, that makes the color choice kinda cool, actually.  Since they're 555ish, they're way to slim for me, though.

[seanocono]

^Agreed on both points. Cool for the slimmer folk, though.
