Japan - November 2014

[Giles]

Buying a mill is not part of the plan at the moment, though I did discuss the possibility with H last night.

Buying the Union Special production line (the heavy ounce line) in the jeans factory is still part of the short/medium term plan.

This is going to be so good…...Not Wabash but woven dots...

This just about sums up how safe Tokyo is…

impressive fabrics^^!!
organic cotton/natural indigo, G?
tell us more about all these new fabrics

[Giles]

I can't remember.  There is a load of natural indigo stuff flying around, as for organic cotton, probably not.  We wanted to move to this, but it really really narrows our options down….

I am spending whole day in Hachioji tomorrow.  Will take loads of photos and ask loads of questions.

Fixed.

Since this isn't waffles, chocolate, or beer, the opinion of a Belgican is irrelevant.

A common sight in Tokyo.  A few random westerners huddled around a ticket machine….

BREAKING NEWS - BREAKING NEWS - BREAKING NEWS

Paula and I had 2 long discussions with H yesterday.

This is the result…

Yesterday

Tomorrow

It makes sense in so many ways.  It's easier for Haraki, it's easier for us, it's easier for the retailers and there is no confusion for you - same great products, same great brand pedigree….

I never got the split anyway, great call….

[Giles]

Welcome back to an old favourite…............Remember IHSH-24?  Same fabric, different colourways, work not western....

[Giles]

Hey H, let's get a shot of your watch….

There were at one time, some very good reasons.  These changed, but we were a little like a speeding train, we wanted to change direction, but the bloody rails kept on taking us the way they always had.

Last night, a little dynamite was applied to the tracks…..
