      We hem a shit load of jeans here and I suspect that we hem a higher average weight of jean than anyone else anywhere.  And even saying that, these needles will last a year unless we bust or bend one.  Amazing things….

            Great video! Love seeing the stubborn crew in action!

            Also @Giles, nice fit on the 156 🙂

                  Hi Giles,

                  I've got a pair of 22oz jeans being delivered soon which will probably need hemming. Just checking 22oz will not be a problem. Also are you still using DPD for delivery, if not can you tell me which courier you are using.

                    22 is fine.

                    You can choose UPS or DPD

                      Cool. Thanks Giles. UPS is easier for me. Hopefully sending them within next week or so.

                        Jeans are winging their way to Gosport via Royal Mail. Should arrive tomorrow.

                                      I've been fixed.  But Rob my engineer has told @Chesson not to attempt any more 25oz MBMF on me, I will break again.  It is the second overdying process that happens to those MF's that make the denim too gnarly for me.  @Giles is talking to H about whether they can hem in Japan.

                                      Remember that they are hemmed in the factory before the OD process, so even H and co may have problems….

                                        @Unity I’m worried about possible workplace abuses. Are you a member of your trade un… oh, wait.
