Japan May 2013

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….

Great. As someone whose IH/TW wardrobe is smaller than small I can say: Staples are exactly what I´m looking for - especially a light blue Chambray.

did you see that lovely blue and white stripe sample?

I thought every IH/TW piece was a staple!?

PS… INDIGO DIPPED BUTTONS?? oh my, that is the bee's knees!

[specmvl]

Guess I need the staple's staples first…

Meh.  I'm not impressed by your teasing, Giles.

@Giles:

One thing I do not share with many of you, is an obsession with coffee.  As long as it is not instant, I'll drink it with a smile on my face and a skip in my heart….

Gonna gas up on siphon coffee in Japan?  Count me a fan. Also love cold press, I make it at home.
