Oh man jetlag… Glad you got home safe G, excited to see all the pics coming this way!

Any of you got a triple chain-stitched shirt (mosts of the chambrays)?  Then this is the nifty little machine that did it:

Giles:

Big thank you and maximum respect in every aspect for all these posts, the videos are fascinating.

We're dealing with such a top notch company at every level, it's fucking awesome.

I am grateful

Sleep well

Making the front placket assembly.  This not for an Iron Heart shirt, but I took the vid as I thought the folding stitching was incredible:

@IsaakM:

Iron Heart Meet Up JAPAN.
That's all I'm sayin'

@Giles:

Now, that is a plan.  I'll talk to Haraki….

Mr G
What did he says ?

[Giles]

Great, but it'll have to be May or Nov, when I am there anyway…..

I know your holding out on the pics G…

This believe it or not is one the Jeans factories that haraki uses.  It is here that many of the Iron Heart denim shirts are made.  The Iron Heart jeans are made in another factory, further up into the mountains, that we did not have the time to drive up to:

This is a non working model.  But this is the exact same Union Special that the factory uses for the inner leg seam on all Iron Heart 18oz plus jeans.  It is the only thing that is man enough for the job.

LOL nice commentary G  All of these "factory's" seem like they shouldn't even be called as such. They seem quite small.
