Need to do an informative speech that is 4-5 minutes long… Dunno what topic I should do it on. History of denim or raw denim hmmm? I need a minimum of 3 sources too daaamn

[Chris]

Check the "Iron Heart In The Press" thread and the Iron Heart Wikipedia entry.  Plenty of information and more than three sources…

[Snowy]

Totally do it on denim! I use it in interviews ;).

Areas to talk about;
Iron Heart as a company
Union Special
Cotton Mills / Denim Factories
Selvedge, Warp, Weft, Rope Dying….
RAW / Indigo / Plant Chemical
Wabi-Sabi imperfection and time improvement
Artisan against planned obsolesce.
Old methods being better
History of the Blue Jean (Levis / Mining)
Evolution of the Jean Red Tab to Suing Japan Repros
Evolution of the industry, Japan's rise to the top of the top

Off the top of my head ;). Each is at least 5 minutes by itself GOOD LUCK! Would love to read it afterwards.

[IHIHIH]

can u undo (the hemming) after u hem your jeans? is there such a thing?

[scroogen]

Not sure what you mean… You can take the stitching out but you won't get any length back. The excess is cut off.

Snowy, it's so weird to see you on Video!!! It's so different than just forum pics! Thank god I'm not tripping shrooms right now, or my head would explode. One time, I had all these phone conversations with this interviewer who had this really deep burly voice, then I met him in person and he was a kind of pale nerdy Howard the Duck looking dude. Really freaked me out. I asked him if it would hurt his feelings if I closed my eyes when we were talking.

[Snowy]

Not sure if I should be saying I'm sorry or thanks Joe ;). Pretty much how I sound usually less background noise tho. I had to google who howard the duck was, lol. A little greyer and hopefully a little wiser, but that's a real aussie accent for you. I can be booked for future shroom trips, sounds fun

I was reading on the PROXIH09 thread about the fade prevention chemical on the 21oz denim. What exactly is it and the process behind it? Just wondering

[Giles]

Secret.  Seriously, I do know, but is something that Haraki developed, that no one else does and he wants it to remain that way…

Which is awesome.  Magicians never reveal their best tricks.

[Guest]

That is pretty cool. I'm guessing that's why the 21oz fades so beautifully?

[Megatron1505]

Why can't I scroll the screen from the side bar on the forum? Every other website is ok apart from this one.

[Arabit]

What is the heaviest flannel that Haraki has created? Is it the IHSH - 11?

[bagley920]

I've had both and the 11 and the 51 are pretty close to me
