Heavyweight Denim Championships 2013-2015 - Official Thread
-
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Haraki for what he and the Japanese crew have pulled off.
As you may know, we lost a load (circa 50%) of 25oz denim in the last run. We get a percentage wastage in all the denims we make, but normally the percent we lose is a constant (per type). With the 25oz, seeing that it is on the edge of what is sensibly possible, the wastage is completely unpredictable. 50% broke all our records!
When I met H in Singapore I asked him how the MBB's were going. He said they weren't. I explained how important it was that they were done on time.
Once he understood the real criticality of meeting the deadline, he did just about everything humanly possible to make sure he did not let you guys down. That included a 20 hour round trip to Kojima to explain the criticality face-to-face with the team down there. This just after coming back from SE Asia.
Never once did he bitch, moan or complain. He just motivated the team and got on with it.
Absolutely amazing.

A big thank you to haraki, giles, mega, beatle and everyone else who has any part of this
as has been voiced an extra special thanks to giles and haraki and the IH crew for how well they treat all of us customers. After dealing with primarily IHUK FOR EVERYTHING to do with clothing purchases since discovering them they take customer service to unexplored levels and leave everyone else in the dust. I hope to never take this for granted and actually experienced some customer service on the far other side of the spectrum this weekend (from a company to remain unnamed) and it reminded me how nice it is to deal with a company who values it's clientele so much.
One last time…
Thank you for everything.

This was a pattern that Haraki and Tom created especially and specifically for Tommy.
This is why I love Iron Heart…

Thanks Mega. hope it will get very soon. -
Tommy is super excited, he is the luckiest kid in the world to be blessed with not one, but two pairs of jeans from (as he just described to me himself), his "best buddy" Haraki-San. We had to tell him about the new jeans as he has now totally trashed the OG IH-MINI, with a big hole across the knee, which upset him quite a bit. To say that he is happy that he will be wearing IH again, and also competing in the HWDC would be a colossal understatement.
We were just in our local town centre and I had to explain to Tommy that he couldn't buy a Thorntons Easter Egg to send to H in Japan to say thank you, as it would….
a) Melt
and....
b) Break
He does however have an idea for a little something to send to Japan to say a big thank you to H and Tom, I'll post pics when the idea takes form, and it should be amazing

Custom made one of one jeans….damn. I cannot wait to see these! Can't believe we're almost there..
-
To make it extra special, it is actually Tommy's 7th birthday on Friday, and this is an amazing Birthday present for him.

I may explode with excitement before next Saturday

Finn 11 (10+1) pairs of 35. If you want to change the size you ordered, you may have to wait until the next 60 or so extra pairs are made. Sorry, but we had to concentrate on making what had been ordered, we simply could not make the "spares". They will get made, but I don't know when.

hoping that my request to change size 31 immediatly after placing inital deposit was noted biting nails
a bit nerve racking and exciting watching this all go downBreathing a bit easier. Double checked my emails and did get a confirmation from Paula that my size was changed to 31 on December 13th. Whew!
