Japan - October 2015

[Madame Buttonfly]

Sorry, lagging behind as usual, a few shots from earlier in the week.

Chambermaid in the hotel is a Real McCoys fan!

Spent Monday afternoon in the seaside town of Kamakura, took the electric train to Hase and lunch at a tiny, quirky restaurant (the food was good, and amazing coming from a kitchen the size of a postage stamp)

The famous big Buddha (over 700 years old)

Walked back to Kamakura via the beach and bumped into two couples on vacation from Los Angeles, one of the girls had just been persuaded by an elderly Japanese guy on the beach to do a tandem flight!  Was hilarious, they eventually got up…

And safely down again…

Chatting to them turns out they know SELA well and one of them is close friend of @caseywisenbaker who used to work there - such a small world!

Liking the 141.  Any chance of the brown ihj-12 coming without print?

@Giles:

Plenty of short sleeve love - including a new shape (shorter, slimmer arms…..BOOM)....

Does this mean new t-shirts will also have slimmer arms?

[Giles]

We are likely to launch a new slimmer armed cut and run the 2 cuts side by side…..

No, It's not so in your face that I need to give the factory the extra hassle….

^^^ Makes sense. Love that color.  Still dreaming of 816 in this color…

The brown IHJ-12 is a winner .. with or without print! 
The -45 Jacket, the new checked shirts …..... Boy, oh boy!

There so SOOOOOOOOOOO much more.  I ran out of time for photos today and leave for Bangkok in the AM, so will give a brief précis of what else to expect in the next day or so.  Photos will follow when I get them from Japan…..

Wow, some amazing pieces in the pipeline. I really like the IHV-24 and the 666-ST.

The sateen and pique fabrics look great. The hits just keep on coming.

Some nice pieces in there, and I'm glad to see that the First Zip continues to get some love. I bought the original model, so am naturally biased.

Have fun in Bangkok. I was planning on coming, but something else cropped up. (Warning, do not click on the link if you're extremely squeamish.)

Ouch…..
