              It's not just those two either, it's a recurring theme.  One of the reasons I love it being in Japan so much…..

                The side where the weft pokes out is the side where bobbin changeovers occur,  i.e where a new length of weft starts.  The warps are effectively continuous, the wefts can only be as long as will fit on a bobbin.  If you have a look at the bobbin change side of our denim, the distance between those threads decreases the thicker the weft yarn (effectively, the heavier the denim)….

                          And before we leave the mills, an anecdote.  Out of the dozen or so looms that this guy owned, about 8 of them were running whilst we were there, the sound is phenomenal, the only way of communicating is to shout down the ear of the person you want to talk to.  Sarina was watching a loom at one end of the room, "Mr Miller" was elsewhere, whilst she was watching, a warp broke.  Out of nowhere this guy hurried over, knotted the warp together and went back to what he was doing…...Seriously, the change in noise/tempo/whatever must have been like being able to discern an ant farting at a Converge gig.....Amazing...

                            Is that the same pair of UHR in the earlier pics, that Haraki-San is showing the miller?

                                Thanks a lot for the wonderful pictures. Sarina and Tom can brighten up a pale november morning like no one else.

                                On the other hand, I think I'll be saving some money next year. Those pale colours are far from what I would wear and I've never been a fan of the 30s work shirt style neither. Ok, the Sh 64 might be an option, but this is the only fabric I really like (personal taste) 😉

                                Still hoping for new plain Tees, preferable as Pocket Tees.
