        Can I say my IH-634SV are made of American cotton?  I would love to start saying that…..

              This is completely idle curiosity, but I wonder why the Japanese importer of Zimbabwe cotton decided to start tinting it green?  Seems like a really dumb thing to do, as it would tend to drive away customers who want/need the cotton to be white for production and dyeing.  Sent Iron Heart to another supplier, after all…

                this is funny, hall of fade and gun are the ones using haraki's b/c grade denim they bought off the mill and pissed off haraki and now he's got to buy all that denim. saintkeat should have asked haraki how he felt about that

                    Hey,

                    First post, glad to be on the forum and great to hear some interesting points are being brought up from the interview. I'll just like to address this rehash from a not so pleasant history, to clear the air a bit. Gun from artist sourced denim from around the world on his own accord. We at Hall of Fade wanted to collaborate on a sweet pair so we were presented with several rolls with not a whole lot of description on each one. We saw 2 fabrics that looked pretty sweet, picked it, put it in production. By the time we found out where they came from, it was too late, money was spent, product had been made. It's a point in history we'd like to move on from and we're going to be as careful as is humanly possible for the next sets of collabs with other brands in the future.

                    Thanks Snowy and Chris for the references on Wiki! Page looks great and the information is a great read. Looked like it took quite a bit of effort to put together to form a story like that.

                    Chris, I suspect that the green tone added to the Zim cotton is an extremely light hue, that serves as a kind of distinctive branding. If you walked into a room with piles and piles of cotton, you'd know straight away it was Zim just from the light greenish hue. Well, that's my suspicion.

                    Anyways, looking forward to working with Iron Heart and their many partners for many years to come. I'll endeavour to write better articles or manage events that would make it very interesting for all of you in the near future.

                      And I would like to add, that whilst Haraki and I were pissed off that this happened, we attribute no blame to Gun, SaintKeat or HoF.  We think that we have worked out how to minimise leakage of our denim….

                        Saintkeat, first off-welcome to the forum, we're glad to have you here.  Second, thanks for doing those interviews.;)  As you can see, they were an important source for the Wikipedia entry.

                                          Part 2 of the Denim Myths Series. Likely shot same day as part 1. That said Kiya's in a western shirt of some kind with IHSI-02 rocking. Interesting video by itself, likely should go somewhere else…
