          Is it too late in the game to ask about representation for us talls? My 666S are perhaps my favorite pair ever and these sound great, but that 35"+ post-shrink is essential. Perhaps graduated like the 634 is, longer for 34 and above?

            Anyone interested in a double duck contest once all the cuts are released?

            definitely

              The sample pair are 38" inseam, may be a tad long, but I'll make em long…

                There needs to be a pair of Double Duck overalls for @trail and arrow - his head would explode! 😃

                    It had to happen one day.  And it was the Double Duck that did it.

                    On Tuesday when happily weaving the new duck, the frame of the Toyoda literally tore it self apart.  We think that the teeth on the cog were ripped off and the resulting torque shattered the frame.

                    Here is the cog:

                    And here is the frame after it was welded back together.

                        Looks like a good opportunity to take it completely apart, clean it, do some preventive maintenance, and then put it back together.

                          25oz might shatter needles, but double indigo duck just shattered the feckin loom. Might be a tee opportunity!

                            @Giles any possibility of this badass fabric in an 801? Double indigo double leg duck just sounds epic to me…

                            Make it heavier.

                              Nothing is impossible.  But we have 3 jeans cuts pencilled in (plus potential retailer collabs), so I'm going to see how things pan out before making a load more new stuff….

                                I have been talking to Haraki,  when we weave a 1/1 (Plain weave) we need to subject the fill thread to more tension to ensure a tightly woven fabric.  Given the thickness (weight) of the yarns we are using for this duck, the strain is enormous.  We managed to weave enough for about 120 pairs of jeans before the frame of the loom shattered.

                                It is 50:50 whether we will be able to convince the mill to continue making the selvedge version of this duck, we may have to use a projectile loom, which means no selvedge ID

                                  1. No care whether it has a selvedge id or not

                                    I don't really care, either.  I'm sure it will be a beautiful fabric, either way.

                                      H assures me the look and feel of the fabric will be the same either way….
