      @Giles:

      There was a plane to have them yes, it became too difficult.  It's even difficult to do standard tack buttons….

      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?

                            Really love that the forum is such a nice place to be… but it's ok too if you guys would mention it if I sometimes wear stuff that I look silly with  😉

                            Well there was that one pic from a few years back when you were wearing a suit. Yucky.

                              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!

                                  …wonderful interview Giles!  😎

                                  ...thinking you guy's should pump out another round of YouTube videos too! When I was first introduced to Iron Heart the videos were fun to watch! 😃

                                  ...on that note I'm going over to buy a shirt! 😃 IHSH-33B pimped with copper snaps!

                                  ...Cheer's to Iron Heart! 🙂

                                    Looking forward to Alex in the next round!

                                          When @Giles mentioned that there were places that you couldn't / shouldn't  wear jeans into reminded me of when I was in Rome 2018,and I walked into this place where Frank Sinatra had eaten at many years ago. I noticed a bunch of noses twitching when I walked in, but my thought was I had spent more on the Iron Heart I was wearing than what the nose twitchers, were wearing.

                                            Good point @ROman –- an entire kit, head to toe( toe being Wesco`s or something similar)
                                            would be between 1,000-1,500 easily I would think:
                                            When I was in Rome I did notice that they people do have a good sense of fashion, but that they were also kind of fashion snobs at the same time.
