@Finkster….amazing videos.
I remember when I was a kid growing up in Phoenix in the 80's there was a little shop around the corner from my house and their sign out front said "We Buy Used Levis". I drove by this place thousands of times as a kid and I can always remember looking at that sign and wondering why they were so determined to let people know to bring them their used Levis and what the hell they did with them. So I finally asked my mom one day and she told me that they would buy your used Levis and then sell them to people in Japan and I just couldn't wrap my head around that. I always wondered why people in Japan wanted our used, old, dirty jeans so bad. I honestly never believed my mom when she told me that.
I for one and very thankful that Iron Heart and the whole denim sub culture in Japan has kept this little hobby of ours alive and well.
