Potentially a dumb question @Giles - but I assume your EU stock is somewhat different to JP, right?
I'm in Osaka right now, before heading back to Tokyo, and was considering popping in to look at 555 models but wasn't sure what they had (e.g. regular indigo versus indigo/black versus -03 for example). Do you have this information or shall I contact Osaka directly?
Thanks!

IH international constant items are very different from Japan. They do stock a couple of models of the 555, but not the 01 or 03. You'd need to contact Kenta at the Osaka store to check what they do have.

Hi @Giles I’m currently planning a trip to Japan, that includes a few days in Osaka. I’m definitely planning to hit up the IH store while there, as it seems much more accessible than the store in Tokyo.
I know what they carry has probably changed quite drastically since this thread was started, but I want to have a good idea for what I can expect when I visit.
Can you recommend the best way to contact the Osaka store? Thanks!

@Giles awesome. Thank you so much!

@alexxedge i also went to Y2 leather, which is pretty close to the IH store. You need a reservation but the experience was very wonderful.
-
@jfk1117 nice. I’ll look into it!

Hello there, long time no post but i have traveled to Japan during summer holidays and I had a chance to make a stop at Osaka IH shop.
The experience was great and i met Maeda san who was really kind with us.
He hemmed my new 634s on the go, ready to wear !
So i used this opportunity to try a new cut, as 888 seems to be only for international i tried a 634s and i have to say i'm in love with the cut ! The top block is perfect, i really dig the lower rise than the 888 and the rest is perfect.
I took some pictures of the shop, of course forgot to take a picture of me with the denim inside the shop so i took some once back at home.

Now I want to be back in Osaka thanks for sharing your journey
-
Made the pilgrimage!
The Works Osaka is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by Motorcycle shops. Had a great time meeting Kenta and admiring his GAH and IH gems. Managed to score the new shop exclusive tee and patch!
