@Alex laughing with you re: purple/red...I guess the only way to fully comprehend the cultural differences is to move down there for an extended period of time. I am in awe of what you guys have been able to do with those barriers in place and the results speak for themselves.

the reds are popular too, the problem was we took retailer preorders for the purples, then offered people a chance to cancel them due to our fuck up, and basically everyone cancelled the fuckers because we had just released the very similar Red/Blue/Black UHF as part of that FW, so now we have a shitload to get through

@Alex if you're subtly trying to sell a shirt, you may have piqued my interest

I had some basic, conversational Japanese under my belt 5/6 years ago. I was working in the middle of nowhere in Australia with very little to do in my spare time prior to visiting Japan for three weeks, so took online classes for fun so I'd find my time there a little more accessible.

Had a fairly large amount of vocab memorised and a solid understanding of the Hiragana and Katana scripts (Kanji always eluded me though...)

Sat down opposite H at the party last month however, and all I could muster was a 'はじめまして よろしくお願いします'

If you don't use it, you lose it

Better than "alright mate?"

And what was the funniest communication fuck-up in the past

Mine was doing a rerun of a t-shirt. We originally did the t in black and white. The white had sold well, but the black had sold poorly, so I just needed more white…

“Exactly the same as the previous run, just the white, but no black

Became…

“Exactly the same as the previous run, white and black”

@Alex @Giles keep em coming!
It‘s sometimes difficult to understand what Google translate makes of Haraki‘s blog, or what Instagram makes of the Instagram postings of some hot rod people i am following. So putting in precise orders must be a nightmare at times.

@Alex alright mate, howzit garnnnnn

@tody once in awhile the translatation on Haraki's FB post is quite a laugh.. but I guess that's more on FB's translate software than anything else..

One translation from Haraki's blog I found funny from one of the Gosport party days he posted. Said something along the lines of -there are a lot of Iron Heart fans here and a lot of them are quite old.- In the photo were lots of white hair and whiskers.

Is there already a thread for people obsessed with quality pens/pencils/markers or other writing instruments?

[goosehd]

@chrisjohnnick ...not that I know of or have seen.

[Tago Mago]

@chrisjohnnick my cursory search says no

[Mister_Brue]

@chrisjohnnick Create one!

[popvulture]

@chrisjohnnick I’d enjoy this! I appreciate a good Blackwing and have noodled around with a couple TWSBI Ecos and some Iroshizuku ink. Fun stuff.

[chrisjohnnick]

Just made a thread under the accessories section. Mods, feel free to move it if it is better suited in another category, or if the title is lame and needs to change let me know!

Creases in IMH-40-GRN

Hello to all! New to the community and have recently been getting very into Iron heart products over the past year. I am so excited to have received my first A2 jacket from this Falls release. I bought it from one of the retailers who carries Iron Heart, not directly from Iron heart. I’m a little disappointed because the jacket arrived with some creases in the upper left chest (opposite the pocket), but I am not sure if they will work themselves out, or if there is a method to remove them? Looking for any guidance on this! Is this worth contacting the retailer? The only bummer is, I know for a fact that it will be near impossible to track down another size small
