    More on the jacket that Haraki posted.  It is a first sample western that Will @ Aero made last week.  Haraki is working on some tweaks to the pattern and will get those to me shortrly.  Once the second sample is done, we are likely to go straight into productiom.  It is probable that we will do it in the deerskin and also a lightweight vegetable tanned horsehide, Will is just knocking me up a sample in Horse at the moment.  G

      Had a long discussion about Loop Wheeled Sweats with Haraki yesterday.  As is stands at the moment, he has not found a manufacturer of loop wheeled cloth that can do it in a weight he is happy to go forward with.  He is continuing to look, if it proves impossible, he has an alternative method that he will talk to m about soon

              I didn't even notice that!!! I was thinking something down at the bottom right or left..maybe the typical iron heart sewed on tag..but a little larger…idk..was just thinking/wondering!

                @Beatle:

                Hello: it would be nice if buyers of this awesome beauty could have the choice of snap: black (or dark grey depending what the exact color of the hide is) metal, copper as shown on the photo, pearl (white or black like the IHS27 and 32) and silver. The price paid for it (which I suspect will be higher than a regular denim model!) justifies giving a little more to the buyer, dont it?

                And personally, I'd love one bright red, one white and one black snap on one of the sleeves.

                Giles: do you think it would be possible to offer such flexibility in the snaps?

                                      To tell you the truth.  I am fucking numb, my brain is more rubbish than normal.

                                      Today, we hit the indigo dyeing plant.  Unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos in there, but it was surreal, we actually saw the warp (indigo thread) for the 21oz selvedge denim being dyed, cool.

                                      Then onto the weaving plant, well, my hearing is still trying to recover, I can't even start to explain the noise of 50-60 shuttle looms from the 1940's going full blast.  Saw loads of different denims being woven including the new 21oz Super Black fading to grey (sbg), Haraki was particularly interested in watching that being woven.

                                      Then onto the finishing factory.  Quality Control (every square inch of every single piece of denim that is producing in the weaving factory is visually inspected and any problems noted and rectified if possiblle), Singeing, Coating, Skewing and Sanforising.
