      Yep, UPS (as do most other shipping companies) ship to UK from Japan (and other places in Asia) via China.

      As the world starts to open up after the lock-downs, the volumes of goods needing to be shipped, is far outstripping the available space in cargo planes.  So, there are delays happening now, that did not happen during the lock-downs.

      19 carton shipment due here Monday.  Got 9 cartons Mon, 9 cartons yesterday and 1 today.  Ditto other shipments….

        Oh, man. I'm sorry to hear! I'm sure that puts stress on top of an already stressful situation.

                                Things are a little congested in the sewing room.  If your jeans are being hemmed today and they get covered in oil, you'll know why  😃 😃

                                    Sorry Eli, we have already packed it.  But, a fox had crapped in the garden overnight, so we dragged the jacket through that, so I think we're all good…..

                                        When we hem any denim over 14oz, it is necessary (adviseable) to hammer the hem into submission before we get to the sewing machine.  I have a slab of cast iron covered with denim, which is effectively the anvil.

                                        On the left is the denim I covered the cast iron with 5 years ago.  On the right is the new…..
