I am both extremely excited and slightly dreading the Iron Heart/Self Edge store event in October.  Excited to see everything in the IH lineup in person, plus whatever new and special stuff Haraki, Giles and Kiya have cooked up, and dreading the hit my wallet will inevitably take when I see something I cannot leave without…

I gotta preemptively put some stuff up for sale so I have enough cash on hand (and to prevent a spousal supernova).

I'm getting revenge on the bankers by spending their money, once I've disposed of my own

Mme B is just booking us on "Japanese For Fun", an evening course at the local college.  Apparently I will learn how to tie a cotton kimono, super useful…...

[Sugar Mountain]

Do you speak much Japanese already G?

[Sugar Mountain]

While I'm in this thread… I came across this interesting read published earlier in the year about the Osaka 5 denim brands. Good stuff here: http://www.japanesestreets.com/reports/1313/the-quest-for-perfect-jeans

You should learn how to tie a fundoshi G

@Sugar:

Do you speak much Japanese already G?

No.  I understand a lot, but have never attempted to learn anything apart from the bare essentials.  My signature phrase is Debu, which I say regularly whilst patting my over-taught stomach after yet another feast, Haraki does the same.  We both always piss ourselves laughing, it means "fat", pathetic I know, but it keeps us amused…..

Ha, sounds a lot like my Cantonese utterances when in HK!

I just scored a part for my 75' Ironhead that I've been trying to find for four years! I so fucking stoked right now!!
Looks like my Winter project is back on track….

[Mild7]

Nice work Melon.  Be sure to show us some pics of the work in progress.

Dear Mr. UPS Guy Dude… Please ring the door...

Saw a guy yesterday wearing a tee shirt with what is surely Seul's motto: "You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning".

[Seul]

I usually skip the mornings but make up for that in the evening…

[Giles]

For the record (and I will not get drawn into any discussions about the pro's and con's of any of my retailers),  I have no written contract with any of them, my view is if you need to get legal, you're fucked before you start.  This is a tiny business, you fuck somebody over, it'll bite back hard.
