      ^ that is an interesting thought. Giles, Haraki-san, The Stubborn Crew and the .jp gang all get deserved props for designing, producing and selling all this gear but the workers who run the looms, cut and sew the fabric etc are an enormous part of this too. I wonder if they are aware of how much we appreciate what they do?

        If a monetary gift or something wasn't apropos I was thinking maybe a package of thank you cards for a world tour. I'll buy them and we can mail them around and all sign them and send them to all the people who make the stuff.

          This is a beautiful idea, but we have possibly 300 people doing a mixture of big things and small things in multiple factories/workshops/house factories…..I could not possibly work out how to do this equably....

            @Filthy  I apologise in advance if I’m not exactly on your wavelength, but what gets me about this thing you’ve raised is that we have these guys, skilled workers,  just doing their jobs, who may or may not realise, know and understand the intense interest, passion and (I may be overstating this, but fuck it) love, that a relatively small number of people have for what they make.

            Do they know how the fruits of their labour are received? Are they aware of this international community that adore the things they produce? I’m not sure of the best way of communicating these things, and as Giles points out it would be logistically difficult, but I’m definitely interested in working it out.

              The Japanese are big on omiage. Don’t know what that would be though

                I was hoping this would have been a more popular idea. But hopefully one day I will be able to Oprah the shit out of all the Iron Heart workers.

                      @browniemcghee @sabergirl  what idea? The Thank You card world tour seems fun and it wouldn't cost anything other than a massive carbon footprint and some postage from the signers.

                              In the typhoons that hit Kojima and Okayama earlier this year, a lot of factories sustained damage.  The end result is that just about everything is later than expected, I have asked for an updated FW18 schedule, if/when I get it, I'll publish it here

                                    How does the saying go?  "When all you have is a dirty mind, everything looks like a dong."  Pretty sure that's it.

                                      Well, it does look like Japan's about to get screwed.  Again.

                                        Would it be possible to have a similar list of other general incomings over the next two months or so?  I'm interested in the 777S-21 and the 19oz or 14oz Type 3 ODs, but there may be others if I knew.
