HWDC Event 1 - Gosport Chain Stitch Massacre

[SimonQ.]

@SimonQ.:

man, what do you guys chose for hemming? iam super satisfied with 35inches on the chinos (IH-816) but the standard 36inches on the BBOD are too long. Any suggestions? Something which comes up at 35-35.5inches after washing and settling?

mine have not been hemmed .[
36 inches?

UPDATE FROM GOSPORT! 

We probably managed to process about 35 of over 100 MBB orders yesterday, and after breakfasting with our CSM guests will be back in the office this afternoon.  Nothing can ship tomorrow because it's a public holiday, we're hoping that all "straightforward" MBB orders will be ready to ship on Tuesday afternoon (and certainly those that don't require hemming).

Anyone who has requested a size change, I won't be able to work out what's possible until I've got a complete picture of what's been requested, so please bear with me and I'll get back to you later today or tomorrow.

Happy Easter!

Taking the time to give up-to-the-minute status updates…

Paula, you're the best!

@Simon:

Thanks to G&P Gav & Pam & everyone else for organising such a great meet up.

Gav measuring the first pair out of the box  - Bagley, your MBB's have that dubious honour!

Cutting the first pair; 25" inseam that's right isn't it?

Sorry this one is out of focus. I think you get the idea, Pam, Rudi, MBB's & pliers  :-\

Junior working whilst the rest of us watch.

The three boys; Cam, Rowan & Tommy where all golden, really good lads all day.

Evening meal at the local Marina restaurant.

My MBB shorts will be great!

I figured you'd be more jealous of the look on Giles's face as Paula slides her hand down into his… egg.

[bagley920]

Mini is holding that Sheamus doll pretty tight Gav, jealous? Haha

[Giles]

Paula and I fell over laughing at that…...

[Megatron1505]

Mini just likes to feel taller than something…..anything.

[bagley920]

Or likes to feel something with some muscle tone atleast your not as white as him though!

[Sopiarz3]

Fantastic pics Gav! Looks like everyone had a great time and no fingers were lost.

[Giles]

Still have a little work to do….

And off to the new office to clean up after the mayhem…

The denim looks nice. Seems streakier than normal.. Just the lighting or something mabey

[Giles]

I think it may be a little streakier - good spot…

[Nerkg]

Now I wish I had gotten them.. 
Who am I kidding , I wish I could get every pair.
But I'm in absolute love with my ironheart pronto jawns

A few more photos from the Chain Stitch Massacre.

On the train down.

Not a good sign to see when it's pointing in the direction you're heading!

Is this a new sideline for IHUK?

If Mammon doesn't pay out, then maybe religion will…

Megatron performing delicate surgery on a pair of Megabusters. If these are your pair, then he apologises if one leg is longer than the other!

Ginger Power takes on Unity!

Fortunately there were professionals on hand to do the tricky bits…

The old office is like Aladdin's Cave. Only with less gold and more denim.

The Salvation Army were after used clothes. They'd probably turn their noses up at Liquorice Noose's old pair…

I nearly lost my jacket to Ruedi.

He'll grow into it!

The Alexander Leathers jackets are very nice. Fortunately this one was just a bit too short for me!
