      I can't do specifics because this is not a science.  But recently I helped Haraki procure some Alpaca for some stuff we are doing next winter.  This stuff is seriously expensive wool which I got from Peru, had it shipped to UK and then shipped to Japan.  When I told Haraki how much it was going to be per yard, I thought he would go apeshit, but his response was calm "cheaper than 21oz"…...

            @Giles:

            Yes the xhs is now available in Japan.  Haraki asked me if he could sell them, had I said no - he would not have done.

            BB's too I see.

            No they are not.  Haraki very occasionally sells second quality at events like Iron Hearts Day.  He sold a few substandard BB's in 2011 at silly prices, he may have done again in 2012, but they are not generally available….

              Sorry G. I did not realize that they were substandard. My memory flashed on the video and I remembered seeing other pairs. Thanks for clearing that up.

                No probs Lando.  You worried the shit out of me when you said that, I thought I must have drunkenly agreed that Haraki could sell them, and I was sure I had not…..

                      It'll be to line something with.  Other than that I don't know.  He'd tell me if I asked, but I actually prefer to be surprised….

                              Use the hottest water your tab provides (usually around 45-50 C°).  Soak for 45'. No need to add a detergent as you're just STF'ing it…

                                  Dr Bronners for a regular wash, Samurai Thunder Soap if you're feeling flamboyant, or if you're not that bothered (like me), just throw them in a regular wash, hang dry for 24 hours, then give them 20 minutes in the dryer, being sure to laugh the entire time at your own insanity.
