      Suggestions are always good.

      "Dear Haraki,

      We have this weirdo on the forum who's fanatical about these overalls. He has mentioned he hopes he can die in them so they will become his "ghost clothes". Can you please make some UHR overalls with silver buttons?

      Love,

      Giles"

        Wasn’t there a plan to have articulated silver buttons done by GAH?

        Also, I love your ghost clothes idea…. we could do a thread [emoji1]

            And I guess using the N-1 tack buttons would not work?

                Listened today to the podcast–-bravo guys!
                Informative---casual, to the point just well done all around.

                Didn't know Haraki was such a big part of Edwin before doing his own thing.
                I don't think Ive ever seen anybody wearing a pair here on the Forum yet.
                I bought a pair of Edwin 55s 14oz a good 5-6 months before I heard of Iron heart ( which changed everything).

                After I bought my first pair of 666-21s I never did go back to the Edwins.
                Im thinking of busting them out to put into rotation now that its warming up.
                Would like to see how they fade after all.

                Funny thing is...there are some small details in the Edwins that are so Haraki now that I look at them closer.
                Cant wait to hear what's coming up next on the podcast.

                  Just so everybody is on the same page, I mean like the plated brass silver jeans buttons instead of the bronze.

                  These ones.

                        I definitely enjoyed the 1st episode!  I know that Giles touched on the topic of Triple Works a bit and I'm just curious about the history of Free Bee and how it came about and how it played a role in the evolution of Iron Heart as a brand.  I'd like to hear the backstory if anyone would be willing to share.

                          I never really got to the bottom of FreeBee, other than I think it was an early version of Triple Works.  By that I mean, stuff that H wanted to make, but did not think it fitted in with the IH aesthetic…..

                            Just listened to first episode on a walk.  Awesome stuff.  Didnt think I would be interested in a podcast about denim but its about much more really.  biggest revelation to me is that @Giles pronounces his name like "Jiles" I always pronounced it like "Jeels".  Must be the Canadian in me assuming it would sound like the the french Gilles.  Anyway, great podcast and looking forward to more.

                                oh interesting @giles.  Im still having a hard time changing my pronunciation in my head reading it now even knowing the correct way.  Great words about the forum also.  Hard to believe that some people told you it was too "nice" very strange to me but everyone is different I guess.

                                    You mentioned the 20th Anniversary coming up in 2022. Any Anniversary jeans,shirts etc.? Is Haraki keen on stuff like that?

                                          Podcast was great @Giles.  Loved the insight.

                                          @Alex if you didn't already know I'm curious what your thoughts were when you heard the story about your dad "borrowing" the money that had been left to you by your grandma?  😃

                                            Really really informative @Giles… I can't think of another brand that allows such a personal insight to the history and ethos of the company, and along with the forum... actually allows your customers to be 'part' of the the IH journey

                                            Only really discovered IH in 2018 - I cant for the life of me think why it took so long to do so!
