      @steelworker made us aware of some problems this morning, with IH website not loading properly when he tried to switch between US and International sites.  Anyone else experienced any issues?

      We probably won't be able to get anyone to take a look before Thursday but would be great to get as much info on this as possible.

        Switching between localities works perfect for me on Safari + iOS 12.1.1.

          I also experienced this issue when IH had introduced the US version of the website approximately a few months ago (Chrome on Mac OS X). I couldn't return to the international version for some reason. The solution was to wipe the cache and etc.

          PS: I'm not affected by the issue anymore, just wanted to contribute 🙂

            Is there a way to add multiple gift vouchers to your account? I have 3 I would like to add. Or if I wait until I check out can I do 3 in one transaction? I know in the past when I had a voucher it was automatically added to my account.

                I thought you were supposed to be on vacation. I was deliberately not trying to bug you again. Thanks Alex!

                    And, he works for the family business, so vacation is a state of mind.  Would you rather be online in Costa Rica or from misty cold Gos Vegas?….

                    I'd swap right now.... 🙂 🙂 🙂

                      to further muddy the waters I dumped the cache on imac and still can't log in with Safari
                      but have no problem logging in with Safari on iphone and Chrome on iMac  ::)

                      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                      Well, I have others.

                        Regarding the EU and Japan free trade agreement: anybody knows how this will affect jeans in terms of import duties and when this will be coming into effect?  🙂

                          Feb 1st.  I have no idea how this will affect individual end user consumers.  For a business which is importing items from Japan, they will have to provide a valid REX number on their commercial invoices.  This should give them relief on import duties, but VAT will still have to be paid.  As long as that business is registered for VAT, the VAT will be reclaimable, for individuals it will not.  It is our experience with CETA (http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/in-focus/ceta/index_en.htm) that whilst that is what should happen, the shipping companies are confused about what should how to apply the new rules and duties still get applied.  We can get those taxes refunded, but it is a shit load of hassle and we still have to pay an "administrative fee" for the privilege of the shipping company being effing useless.  So basically, I am not holding my breath.

                            Thanks Giles! Yeah I guess the bigger benefit is for a business rather than the end consumer but maybe one can still save some money.

                              Even if it does work, the UK may only benefit for 6 weeks or so, because some twat decided it was a good thing to ask  the people (who simply are not qualified to make informed decisions of this magnitude) whether we should leave the EU or not.  We decided to leave, a decision that I suspect a large percentage of those who did vote to leave, now regret

                                Didn't you plan to have a branch on the EU mainland to avoid all issues coming with the Brexit (which I still hope won't happen but that's another story)?

                                  If a hard Brexit happens, then we may.  But that decision can't be made until we know exactly what the shape of any potential divorce looks like….

                                    Word, good that our government knows their people and doenst let them decide shite, the recent elactions show that the biggest decision one shall leave to the people is what they want to eat for breakfast and even that seems to go wrong often times hence the growing weight issues  😃

                                    Jokes aside I hope this shite show goes down as smooth as possible, i neither want you guys to have a hella lot of trouble with another branch, neither do i want to have to need a visa for the UK.

                                        You can probably machine wash it but if it was me I’d do a handwash in the tub, air dry.

                                            As long as the water isn’t too hot you’re fine. It’s an alpaca/sheeps wool mix and it’d bonded to cotton. Gentle handwashing is perfect for wool.
