Himel: An Existential Review
John is working alone, from his own house one by one with a huge waitlist, he is a brilliant man....his jackets are better than mine in production quality....in my opinion the last 10% of perfection costs 95% more time...he is a blessed soul and pioneer and should be revered here in the lounge- himelator

japanese wages and costs are not higher than canada...that is completely wrong in fact they are significantly cheaper, rents are cheaper, wages are cheaper.....also these japanese jackets are not custom made...you do not get to chose your fit, model, hardwear leather and liner- himelator

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?
Well as I am one person, writing up little things here and there and assembling a website, it would be next to impossible for me to achieve complete clarity and consistency...I remember some freakout in the past regarding full grain and top grain....I used to read tanning books pre 20...- himelator

My Himel Experience (v2)
For the rest of the people including Jonathan in this thread. I dont really spend much time on forums anymore, mostly because I am busy not just trying to make the best jackets we can, but because in order to refill the tank during Covid and keep my project going it takes up 1000 percent more...- himelator

I attempted to dig out the emails from our conversation and try to remember if we spoke on the phone and asked parker to do the same. If you are interested in getting the jacket...- himelator

Regarding the team dynamics...there were definitely challenges in the past, one of the reasons I brought Parker onboard.
