Japan Trip - November 2010

[Giles]

Ever wondered how denim is sanforised?  Simple, stick between bloody great rollers and apply loads of pressure:

[Giles]

Kiya, I know that jacket was really cheap, but c'mon…...............

[Seul]

Oh man haha… That sanforising machine looks like a BEAST!..

The process of fucking up putting creases into a pair of (def not Iron Heart) jeans:

Im curious, what does the machine do to the jeans?

[Beatle]

something really really bad…sandblasting maybe ?

[Giles]

They said that it just creases the jeans, but given the amount of sand on the floor, I suspect a little more than that was happening to them.  It was difficult to tell because they get zipped up into that black bag when the process is actually happening….G

Popped into Moto:

[Giles]

Too much goodness in the workshops and I start to lose control…...

[Katsushin]

Maybe you just inhaled to much of that spray glue behind you…

[Splattered]

Hahaha i love that pic G!

[Seul]

Hahah you look completely bonkers in that last pic, Giles… In a good way, though!..

Man eff that torture machine... That black bag reminds me of blindfolding people before you execute them... Same thing, I guess...  :-\

One of my customers had a problem with the hollow rivet on his mini calf wallet coming loose.  I took the wallet with me, and as chance would have it, the guy who made it came into The Works.  So I gave it to him in person.  Expect it back soon…............

Whilst at The Works, I spotted this pair of IH-634 waiting for more repairs.  One of the first pair of jeans Haraki ever sold, they come in about once a year for a rebuild:
