After an excellent conversation with Stevie/ @Oaktavia yesterday and considering what @Nkwkfld @Jett129 @Anesthetist @ARNC had to say… I I'm going to go for the Anniversary jeans in a size 35. I have a leather jacket I don't wear all that much and I'm thinking maybe I would appreciate having a pair of 21oz jeans that fit perfectly, quite a lot. So I'm going to go with this.
If they sell out too quickly I can always wait and get something else.
Thanks a lot! -
Good call and get back to wearing that fine Creek [emoji3]

yea I'd have said between the two jeans. just imagine you already own both in your wardrobe, and then which would you reach for and grab the most. go for those. that's basically the thought process I use when I'm in the same boat.

Yeah I'm psyched up for them now. The wait this week is gonna be awful.

Great! You'll be pleased with them in person, and it'll be cool to have a pair that have been through Harare's hands. I'm tempted even though I'm an 888 devotee and just bought a pair of slubs. We'll see what happens at the party. Looking forward to trying on the denim rider's jacket.

@Jett129 https://www.ironhearteu.com/content/the-634-cut
When Haraki created his first Iron Heart jeans he decided that, rather than following most of the other Japanese jeans makers who were naming their models after Levi’s 501 or similar, he would create identities for his jeans that celebrate their Japanese heritage, history, tradition and strength.
He explained that the numbers 6 – 3 – 4 in modern Japanese would be pronounced “roku – san – yon”.
But in Japanese, there is an alternative pronunciation derived from their ancient language, which is similar to Chinese, and for 6 – 3 – 4 this is “mu – sa – shi”. So his first Iron Heart jeans are named after a famous, historic Japanese Samurai, Miyamoto Musashi, simply known as “Musashi”, who lived from approximately 1584 to 1645, who wrote and featured in many stories and became renowned for his excellent, unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated number of duels.
Also, his bootcut model, the 461, has similar references. The numbers 4 – 6 – 1 in modern Japanese are spoken “yo – roku – ichi”, but again if pronounced the ancient way become “yo – ro – i” and yoroi means “armour” and is the name of early Japanese armour worn by the Samurai class of feudal Japan. Finally, we asked Haraki why he used the number 9 prefix for the black versions of these jeans (9634 and 9461) and other items. He told us that in Japanese the number 9 is pronounced “kyu” or “ku” and the word for the colour black is the similar sounding “kuro”.

bourbon tour? You heading through KY and TN?

Going to Louisville. Have reservations at Makers,Michters,Woodford,Jim Beam,Winstar Farms and a tour of Churchill Downs,as I’m also a big horse racing fan. Hope to visit the Bourbon Heritage Center in Bardstown as well. Maybe Louisville Slugger and the Mohamed Ali museum depending on time.

That’ll be a great time, I want to hit up Makers one of these days.

. I highly recommend going to www.makersmark.com and signing up for their Ambassadors program. It’s a pretty cool,free,marketing program where they put your name on a barrel,and when it reaches maturity they send you a Golden Ticket,which gets you and a guest on a special free tour,along with a bunch of other stuff. @Anesthetist
