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

have a great successful travel Paula and G and stay safe.

that collab silver Works detail on the type 3 is beautiful.

and SBG too cool

[Giles]

I probably don't have to say this because it is superfluous (see what I did there?) ;), but the collection is simply amazing.  The breadth and depth is something I have not seen from the gang before.  If there is not something for everyone there I'll eat my hat (oh, damn no hats…... :D).  The guys must have been working there little socks off.

I will start documenting the stuff tomorrow and if I run out of time will spend some of Friday taking pics too.

@Giles:

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

It woke me up. I could see the light swinging and totally out of character I  was not in the slightest bit scared. Then i realized I'd just taken a sleeping pill about an hour before. The swinging lamp hypnotized me back to sleep.
