Japan and China - Nov 2024. Alex, Josh, AdamC and Giles

[AdamC]

After a 31 hour journey we were certainly ready for a beer! We went to the most local Chinese place we could find with Johnny and Damien, lovely food

[Giles]

The future of Iron Heart being discussed (we do this a lot)

[Giles]

On the bus (2 hours) from Hachioji to Haneda…..

[Tago Mago]

@Giles I preferred @Alex shirt from yesterday

[tody]

@Tago-Mago The one everyone should have?

[Lynne]

@Giles Oh to be there! Love these pics

[Tago Mago]

@tody you know it

[goosehd]

@Alex Love to know what's going on in the background. Your expression looks like something dramatic (complete and utter chaos) is about to happen...

[Alex]

Getting paparazzied by a six year old at dinner will do that to the best of us

[Daniel San]

you should have kept him away from beer

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd dramatic and utter chaos indeed

[seawolf]

Looks like such a great trip! Hey Johnny! We met when I was in Singapore in 2018. Such a great guy.

[louisbosco]

@AdamC looks like Johnny and Damien already had pres while waiting for yous

[alexxedge]

Wow, this trip looks awesome. I need to get on another 14 hour flight to Japan, asap.

Love the shots of all the cut pattern pieces, and videos of the pockets being assembled. Made me go and look at the rear pockets on my jeans to appreciate the precision. I've been in cut and sew world building garments for some stage productions here the last couple of weeks, so it was nice seeing all the pieces for the jeans.

Looks like there are some 21oz SBG T3s in those photos, or perhaps they are something different?

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia ooh I see! Dang. I hope that’s what they are.

@Giles @Alex do you speak Japanese? I'm curious how you navigate the culture. I've always wanted to visit Japan but the language barrier has kept me from making the trip.

[Giles]

@Alex speaks Japanese pretty well, and it certainly makes things a lot easier.

But I've been coming here for 25 years and speak virtually no Japanese.

Don't let mere trifles get in the way of doing amazing things.
