So my tailor just called me to tell me that my jeans are too thick and stubborn to hem and repair.

I have three pairs in need of mending: IH-Samples, 634SR's, 634XHS's.

Would someone in NY or SF be willing to drop my jeans off at Self-Edge???  Compensation will be provided!

Adam, I can drop them off at SELA.

On Firefox where would I find my book marks in my computer to Save them before I format?

Go to show all bookmarks, and click on the star with the upside down triangle next to it.  There should be an option to back up your bookmarks there, and you can save the file wherever you like.

A friend of mine moved to Singapore and continually taunts me by posting photos of amazing food on Facebook. Gah!

The more I think about it the more I'm thinking of passing. I'd be inside data centers literally all day and likely extended hours. Getting out on a weekend to fly right home. The idea is interesting, but it'd be working in one of the worst environments all week, then late dinner, bed, repeat…..

a data center I shot in 2009, make sure you listen to how they sound :|

@Giles:

^ you can try getting in touch with Pronto.  I have no idea if they ship internationally.  Chnanon concentrates on his local customer base (and does it very well, 7 shops with more coming this year).

They ship internationally, at least I know they ship to the US.  Chnanon provides exceptional customer service, actually every vendor I've ever dealt with that sells Iron Heart provides top not customer service (Self Edge, Take 5, Pronto, and Giles of course).

I really like the pink arcs!

[FurattoHeddo]

I love those pink arcs as well (but this cut is an impossibility for me)… Can we see a fitpic, please?

Need to do an informative speech that is 4-5 minutes long… Dunno what topic I should do it on. History of denim or raw denim hmmm? I need a minimum of 3 sources too daaamn

[Chris]

Check the "Iron Heart In The Press" thread and the Iron Heart Wikipedia entry.  Plenty of information and more than three sources…

[Snowy]

Totally do it on denim! I use it in interviews ;).

Areas to talk about;
Iron Heart as a company
Union Special
Cotton Mills / Denim Factories
Selvedge, Warp, Weft, Rope Dying….
RAW / Indigo / Plant Chemical
Wabi-Sabi imperfection and time improvement
Artisan against planned obsolesce.
Old methods being better
History of the Blue Jean (Levis / Mining)
Evolution of the Jean Red Tab to Suing Japan Repros
Evolution of the industry, Japan's rise to the top of the top

Off the top of my head ;). Each is at least 5 minutes by itself GOOD LUCK! Would love to read it afterwards.
