Japan May 2013

@Giles:

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.

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?

@Seul:

It (fucking) begins… 

[tatmantall]

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.

@Giles:

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.

Hey Giles– If you want you can go ahead and send that Leftie trucker out my way and I'll "measure" it for you.  I know your busy and figured I would just help lighten your load!

what type of pants is the big H wearing in the 2nd to last pic?
glad to see he's enjoying Tommy's craftmanship…and his natural IHB-03...

[Giles]

XHS, I'm guessing 634S, but he is becoming rather partial to 666
