I've pared it down to 26, uh, pairs. 😆 And it's still too many...makes me nervous. 😉

Hey, cheers, are you meaning a Warehouse interview? ✍️ Kind of a long story, but basically I was at Fullcount one day a few years back talking to Tsujita-san, and we got to talking about interviewing his 'kohai' (juniors), the Shiotani brothers. He called them on my behalf and they oddly said they were way "too shy" to do it. Tsujita-san I think was a bit surprised and apologetic. A year or so later, I contacted their 'spokesperson' (as mentioned above) about a separate TV opportunity that had come up, and did not find him to be responsive or friendly in the least. But...that was years ago, and this post got me to thinking I should just go down there and talk to them directly. That whole thing (and with so many other great denim choices here) kind of put me off the brand, but I really shouldn't have let it. I know many people connected with Warehouse now, so it's probably just a case of me asking again. I can't say I have a massive urge to do so, truth be told, but I do think they are an important brand and many people would probably love to hear the story. The products are also, obviously, very good. When the twins were just junior high kids, wild about denim, they would go into the jeans shop where Tsujita-san and Yamane-san were working to hang out and buy stuff...how's THAT for some heavy denim history all in one room?! Future Evisu, Fullcount, and Warehouse... 😅 🤯
