Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand - February 2013

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.

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"…..
-
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…..
-
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….
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.

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.

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, initially, I shared the same opinion of the arcs on the Pronto. My opinion completely changed after G posted this:
And this is why the arcs are pink…

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

After our meeting this morning, we went to the market. Haraki cried off, he says he has a cold, but I think he is just generally debilitated after beating me at arm wrestling. So it was just me and the girls, we took the sky train about 6 stops…
It's going to be a scrum…
We spent a lot of time tracking down real vintage denim…Loads of "Original" big E and Wrangler - not....
These almost had us fooled…
So did these until I noticed that there was a discontinuity in branding between the patch and the flasher…
We found a proper vintage T shirt stall. The girls did a load of research as inspiration for future T shirts…
MikeC would have loved the "original" New Balance which were to be seen in colour combinations I did not know they even did….Funny that....
And of course, there was a plethora of street food to be had…
