Iron Heart IH-634S - World Tour 2010 - 2013

[FOXY]

so, the Berlin visit is over (for now - I'll be back in Berlin for good in 3 week).
I have to pack - take the train to Frankfurt - meet my wife at the airport in Frankfurt and take the late night flight to GZ/China.
Maybe, I'll post some updates on the go, but expect me back here by Saturday/Sunday for the last week of my leg of the tour in GZ/China and HK.

just been looking at Pike Brothers website and whatever i can find on the web. If i am been honest their jeans looks below average on denim, construction and even the make of the patch….. I have obviously never seen one in person so only speaking from what i can see in photos. i do however really like how they package their brand.

501´s  lee jacket looks sick ***should´ve gone up to Berlin for a hand down on the pb jeans, but I just can´t justify the trip

I share your concerns - I look at the whole thing as a new brand trying find it's identity and customer base. Anything is possible given the time…_

[Beatle]

I will judge when I see them..should be here next week

[FOXY]

Ok - before I leave Berlin here is the construction site I call my apartment…

[FOXY]

The building is from 1908 and we are currently remodeling bath and bedroom. The kitchen and hallways are getting some attention too.

For the bathroom: should I have the floor tiles straight or diamond shaped in direction?

[Beatle]

straight..otherwise u think ur drunk with the sidewalls being tiled diamond shape already

[Giles]

But when he is drunk, they'll appear fine…...

[Chris]

I agree with Beatle; floors and walls with angled tiles will be too much.  Good luck with the remodeling.:)

[FOXY]

Initially, we opted for straight, but when I saw it the other way for the first time I started to think - usually, not good.
Giles got a point - the man knows his sh*t!

Let's see what the wife says…

[jimmy]

I like things matching so diamond for me. Beats- maybe start a new thread for pike jeans when you get them.

[FOXY]

The wife says straight - so straight it is…
Arrived safely in GZ a few hours ago. Will resume proper posting tomorrow, feel too tired right now.

[501IH]

Then have a good rest, FOXY.

And I totally agree with your wife about the tiles, incidentally. Diamond shaped, with a checker-pattern, against diamond shaped plain on the wall….it would have been too much. Straight is the way to go, at least this once....

Ok - here is the mission for tomorrow:

• get shit done at the Bank of China
• go to HK
• open a bank account in Hong Kong
• pick up repairs (wife Levis and my jacket)
• go to Ultrasoundboots to pick up my MTO Viberg's
• check at Apollo Books for the latest Japanese Magazine

Ultrasoundboots (http://www.ultrasoundboots.com, they have a blog and Facebook page too, but none of these can be accessed from within China…) the local dealer for Hong Kong representing Viberg's, White's, WESCO and Dayton - so, if you guys have any sizing questions comparing between the brands please let me know and I will try to get them answered tomorrow.
