Thoughts on visiting IH Tokyo store?

RE: Introduce Yourself Here
Greetings all,
After lurking in the forum for a while, I finally joined the ranks as a very pleased owner of 21 oz. 666s and a Type III vest. I dragged my feet on ordering for some time- despite the excellent guidance and support from IH- because I wanted to get the fit just right. My wife was kind enough to gift me both items, so for now they are locked away to be opened on Christmas. I did try both items on and the fit is perfect!I have been into denim for a few years- since I retired and was able to put away the dreaded business and business casual clothing. It is so nice to wear exactly what I want- which now, except for the most formal occasions includes denim. In addition to my preference for more casual clothing, heavy duty denim fits my semi-rural lifestyle. And finally, there is an element of nostalgia involved, as I have great memories of younger days when my wardrobe consisted of jeans and a few shirts. The other motivations have been to simplify my life and buy fewer, high quality, highly functional items.
Upon retirement, my progression has been to purchase Levis, then jeans from a local jeans manufacturer here in Virginia and finally, the grail, Iron Heart. Very pleased to be amongst you all in the IH community.

RE: Where does everyone live?
Greetings from Barboursville which is located in Central Virginia, USA. We are about 35 minutes from Charlottesville and two hours from Washington DC.
After about a year of agonizing over the right sizing, I finally placed my orders and just received two IH items- 21 oz indigo 666s and a 21oz indigo vest. Very relieved that I got the sizing right! Looking forward to beginning the break-in and fade process shortly. These are my first IH items and I must say, they live up to their reputation for very high quality, and the IH customer service is second to none.
Anyway, good to join the forum and communicate with you all.
