Until then, you have a 5% ‘sale’ for the rest of the week if you’re on the edge of a purchase.
Pretty much

Transparency of IH is amazing and thanks for sharing @Alex. Very much appreciated to be this open and honest with us guys
-
@Alex The loyalty vouchers are much appreciated, especially when prices (inevitably) increase.
If I purchase fewer IH items in the future, it’ll be because I have a bunch of it already and my closet has limited space.
It won’t be because of the price increase, which is dwarfed by the price increases at my local grocery store over the past couple of years. We all understand that Japan is facing serious economic challenges right now and it’s nice to support a Japanese business that means a lot to all of us. We’re also thankful to be in a position to do so. -
Late to the party, but thanks for sharing @Alex.
Incidentally, I was watching something the other day about the Japanese economy. Well worth a watch, particularly for anyone interested in macroeconomics.

Id expect another one of these updates soon.

@CosmoSix5 interested in your theory on why?

Hey! I study currencies and economics as a hobby. As well as biblical study. Two weeks ago the yen hit another horrible milestone.
-
Hmmm, I thought things were looking up? Of course, I’m not an economist (but I am great at turning my income into denim)
-
@Buckeye yea I don’t think I’m feeling out what he’s putting out. Only thing hurting IH pricing is that they are buying American cotton. However seeing the prices in Japan, unless the yen gets way stronger, I don’t believe there is any validity to what he is saying. The Japanese government has to decide on a stronger yen or their economy in the short term. They tried to have both two weeks ago and their market plunged by 12%. They are stuck in a very difficult place. If American rates really come down, then lots of the yen weakness may unravel itself

Maybe it was what god told him….

Hahaha
God hath sayuth unto me…Miz, ye shall don a robe of the finest denim…and I trembled at his majesty…amen!@CosmoSix5 totally goofing around btw…not trying to disrespect anyone’s faith.

No lol. In the shared press release, the reasons for the previous price hike was listed. And correct. Today those same issues have been worsened. American inflation demands even higher prices for everything. Cotton for this example. Japanese yen is much lower in value now.(So much more $ for the same amount of cotton then adding in the conversion deficit) The numbers the governments share is very flawed and rosy. Japan had its own great depression moment 2 weeks ago. Meanwhile in the non denim world the US govt is begging Japan not to unload a huge chunk of it's us debt(bonds). This would lead to even more us inflation while helping Japan in the very very short term.
The biblical part of the study is linked to end times where we're told of a single world government and currency. Every country's economy is in an impossible debt situation. The USA is not even the worst and there is no way to ever BEGIN to pay off the national debt. Simply paying the interest is not possible even with a 100% tax rate on absolutely all income and trade. Japan is worse. It's all about when people realize the issue. That's when it(current economic system)will end. Good times lol. I'm really fun at parties.

There are a few topics on the forum that are taboo…politics, religion, and anything dealing with racial and or sexual discrimination. Whilst not crossing any lines so far…please respect those rules. The consequences for crossing those lines can be removal from the forum.
Thank you.
