All got here in one piece.  Some managed to sleep more than others.  I watched Sky Fall and Django unchained.  The rest of the time I slept.  Now on bus to hotel and they've wifi'd it since I was last here….

We are nothing but predictable.

First night, our fave Tonkatsu restaurant…

Kiya, of course, had to do the big shrimp gig (predictably)…

I love the coasters…

Yeah I've been trying not to think about those pics/ peaks as I prefer to sleep at night…

I can't say too much or post pics yet.  This is because some of our retailers have not seen the collection yet, and it would be unfair to post images before they have had a chance to see the stuff.  That will happen on Friday, so expect images etc. on Sat.

Suffice to say.  The theme for Iron Heart this Fall/Winter "Back to Basics" so I would call the collection an evolution rather than a revolution.  Triple Works is jaw droppingly good.  About 4 jeans, 3 shirts and half a dozen T's.  Natural Indigo (hand dipped in some cases) and organic cotton is the theme.

Ok, here are a couple of little gems…

Indigo dyed cat's eye buttons...

And simply beautiful detailing…

My reputation precedes me.  The bar at our hotel has been renamed….

Oh, the Lefty Trucker sample was passed under my nose.  Haraki needs to do measurements, so I was not allowed to take it away.  I'll take photos and take my own measurements when I go back on Friday.  I was also given first sample of IH-666SB - outfeckinstanding….
