    I'm just going to keep asking about when Spring 14 products will be released. I think I know the answer already…

      I don't see any harm send out a message on FB/Twitter before the AMA letting all know it's happening. A bit like letting us know here.

      The AMA is a bit like Uncle Giles arranging a lovely evening of stories around the campfire, filled with audience participation and co-creation. Many will enjoy turning up just to heard (in this case read) how it transpires. Forums are a little less times/dates/reply expectations uncertain.

          Ah, here's the announcement, pinned to the rawdenim subreddit. I can tell the moderator is very excited by his comments, this is terrific.

          Think it, be it.

            I'm assuming that those that aren't able to participate live can go back and read through it at their convenience?

            I don't spend any time on reddit, and am not familiar with how AMAs work.

              This is a correct assumption, and membership isn't required in order to do so. I or someone else will undoubtedly post a link to the AMA when it is live.

              Think it, be it.

                    All the best G-San. Most definitely a good thing all around for the business and also the brand as a whole.

                            What a surprise cone of questions.

                            And so many answers:
                            "With most denims we weave, we lose a known percentage to 2nd and 3rd quality. With our 25oz, we lose a completely unknown percentage, it varies between 15% and 75%. Because the denim is so tough, the looms sometimes (and we still don't know exactly why) just grind to a halt. When we restart, the next 1" of denim is junk, as the loom is getting up to speed. If we get junk every 2 feet, we can't make a single pair of jeans out of that bolt….
                            Every single inch of our denim is viewed by a QC person as it is drawn over a strong light source, this allows us to see any imperfections in the weave. Unfortunately the operatives are human and sometimes miss a fault, this section of denim then gets made into a pair of jeans and obviously they have a fault in them. We do normally spot these lemons when QCing in Hachioji before labels are applied, but even the people in QC Hachioji are human and so occasionally miss one of these faults.
                            I reckon in the 8 years I have been working with Haraki, I have seen 20 pairs of bad jeans……"

                            Hats off to you.

                                    Giles killed that AMA, someone said it was one of the most informative that they've had and I'm inclined to agree. Giles got into manufacture and went beyond the "what cut is right for me" kind of stuff that often occupies a lot of the AMAs.

                                    Think it, be it.
