      With the USD and GBP crashing hard against the JPY, are we due for price increases across the board on all IH goods?

        There is and will continue to be massive pressure to increase prices on all Japanese made goods and services unless the Yen weakens against the major western currencies.

        The retailer margins on Iron Heart were at the limit of what retailers find acceptable before they saw wholesale rise by 20%, which is effectively what has happened over the last couple of months.

        I'd suggest that if you are in the market for anything Japanese, you buy it now unless you know something that I don't….

              Probably has something to do with her being French- a fact mentioned three times in a two paragraph article, so it must be important.

                    machine or hand wash?
                    how will they fade?
                    whats the best way to get snuff juice stains out?
                    can Iron Heart UK hem them?
                    …

                                    General fit question here for guys with a little bit of a beer gut: what's your comfort level with a little bit of pull on the buttons when you're sitting down? None? Some? "As long as you can't bust the button open with your stomach alone"? "As long as the fit when standing looks good"?

                                        With the release of the (really beautiful) 777XHS and the expansion of the 777 line recently, which I assume is at least partially driven by demand, I have to selfishly ask, is the 555 line going to be developed any more or has it peaked?

                                          Jury's out….We may continue to re-release existing versions, but to a great extent that will be driven by retailer demand and not me.  I think it unlikely that we'll develop new versions.  Though, that is not 100% decided....

                                            Good to know. While I'd love a seriously heavy pair of 555's I still have no jeans in the 18oz, so at least I have that to look forward to in the 555.
