Jesus. My TW collection is adding up in a big way this fall.

Need both those WS.

Haraki took us and the crew to the most AMAZING restaurant (and definitely the largest I have ever been to) last night.  Dozens of individual japanese building covering dozens of acres in what must have been a national park.  Simply jaw dropping….

@Giles:

I loved the herringbones from last year, Kiya and I agreed yesterday that this years versions are even nicer….

I love it when you and Kiya agree. I imagine you both looking at each other and doing something like this;

Oh and it appears Demitra's making moves towards the ever-lovely Mdm B :). Looks like Kiya's just caught on and is trying to keep her back :). heheheeheheheheh

Great Hachioji news…

1. Haraki liked my idea of a blue weft/blue warp denim.  We agreed to sample the 18oz raw but replace the off-white weft with rope dyed indigo
2. Haraki is well on the way to buying a Union Special jeans production line (well, the one we make out jeans in now).  Over time he will migrate that to his own factory.  This is brilliant in so many ways, I do not know where to start.  I offered to invest, we'll talk when he comes to Europe.  This (in typical Haraki fashion) is a well considered long term plan, we expect to have complete control of the line in 2 years and in our own factory in 5.
3. The 666S, the IHXB01 and the IH-666-XHS (maybe other models too), will become regular production models, this should reduce the length of time we are out of stock of sizes in these.

[Down under guy]
