Japan Trip - May 2011

[TinMan]

two of my favorite shirts IHSH-25 and IHSH-26.  I know the 26 is only 5.2 oz and is light for IH standards, but the material is wonderful for summer weather and it almost as a sheen to it…. hard to explain.  It is just a great shirt in my oponion.

dear stubborn crew..I have been taking so many mad and wild pics that the only free day in between flying back and going to work on Monday will be spent sorting and posting and editing and whatnot…there simply wasn't enough time to post on a day to day basis..too much beer, you know how it is. average of 3 hours sleep doesn't help much either..

AMANDA SAYS !

Plan for today.

We got up at 7 and saw Beats off to the airport, we then came back and grabbed some well needed sleep.

We are now off to the Post Office to post some stuff, then it is back here to post and email etc.

At 7pm it is off to meet up with Brett Viberg, it's his 30th birthday.

No but Khaki and Grey in 34 arrived safely in the UK yesterday (along with another shitload of stuff).  I'll pop them all into stock on Tuesday….............

[TinMan]

I will call you tuesday.

OK

Randomness:

Tom tries to pull an ugly face - epic fail

Beats and Mme B stock up before getting on the train from Hachioji to Shibuya

This is Yuku, Yoku will manage the next Iron Heart owned shop in Japan, it will be in Horoshima, Haraki's home town'  Two important points to make 1) She's beautiful (redundant comment) and 2) Haraki has agreed to reintroduce a variant of this Tee

Cute as a button!.. Goes for all 3, really…

@DrPat:

Any hints if there will be a lightweight longsleeve herringbone (like the 14 and 24) and more short sleeve shirts for the summer?

LS.  No.  As you know, Haraki is now designing all the fabrics for shirts (in fact everything) from scratch and they will be exclusive to IH.  I did not realise until yesterday what an enormous task this was.  He has just not had the bandwidth to get a lightweight one designed and made from scratch.
SS.  No.  Due to percieved demand, I made 3 styles last summer.  They sold steadily but slowly.  I'm not making any more until I get down to sensible stock levels on last years models…..

Sorry
