Great looking jeans.  Good Luck

[Megatron1505]

Thought this should be in here, we will keep you informed of developments. Do not worry at this stage, if ny jeans are delayed at all I will amend your competition dates so you do not lose any competition time.

@Giles:

This is the issue.  The looms being at the limit of possibility stop mid weave randomly, this results in a stuttered re-start.  The next few throws of the shuttle resultes in uneven weft lay down.  So we have a band of imperfection running across the cloth.  It is not a good look to utilise in anything.  So we have to cut the patterns out around these bands of imperfection.  That is what we are doing with the MBB's at the moment.  To be honest haraki and I do not know what the impact on MBB delivery will be.  Haraki understands the importance of the MBB issue and will be in the factories the minute his arse lands back in Japan assessing where we are.

As an aside, we get a constant 20% bad fabric when weaving the 21oz.

preorder on hat and shirt is in. can't wait

[1moarlap]

The possible delay is a bummer, but everyone has already patiently waited this long so I don't see a huge difference in waiting a little longer. I'm sure the MBBs will be worth it when they're finished and I'll still be looking forward to wearing my pair for the first time.

Quick reminder for those who have purchased HWDC belts. Your belts are being manufactured now, and should be with me by around the 22nd of March. If you have only paid the deposit, this date is when I will need the balance of your payment by.

…So, is it too late to enter the competition? My new 634s are looking for a challenge. Too bad I just missed the t-shirt ordering deadline, but such is life.

[llvlaglne]
