Japan - May 2015.

[Giles]

Just had the largest tremor I've ever experienced…....Paula seriously didn't like it.....

[rocket]

isn't it a super weird feeling, shocking and exciting at the same time and make you feel like, feck I'm little…

[Giles]

Yes, it was like a giant had grabbed the building and was giving is a gentle shake…..

[Chiba J.]

I felt it, but it wasn't really enough to fully wake me from slumber. Very large quake though, at least around its epicenter far north of here in inland Iwate. M6.6 and 5 strong on Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale.

In other news, dress light. Will be a bit of a scorcher today. 30c.

[Anesthetist]

Wow! Be safe gents. I have only seem some very minor tremors but it was enough to set off car alarms, shake the doors, and scare the shit outta me.

[louisbosco]

Damn I never know what an earthquake feels like. Never had the chance to experience it. Hope you guys are fine. Stay safe!

Now the business starts.  Day 1 in Shibuya office…..

Let the lesson begin...

New sample IHSH-101tg.  This one is perfect.  We gave it the OK with one tweak; charcoal coloured needle thread not black…The 200 that we recalled will be shipped back to Hachioji in a few weeks.  They will be silk screened with something like "Factory Second" and sold at 2016 Iron Heart camp and things like that....

Shirts, shirts, shirts…..

Iron Heart…

17oz natural indigo loveliness…

Deck jacket - boy was thing hot….

As Haraki kindly said - "low tech on left, high tech on the right"…

@Giles those IH-555n are I presume the same denim as the TW-634/666n? Will the same denim be released in the latter cuts under IH this year? As in when…ish? Thanks..

[spitfiredealer]

Would love all those shirts!

The black jacket is actually not the collaboration.  We were just playing with the silver W on it.

The black jacket is a modified Type III in 21oz SBG denim…..BOOM
