@Giles:

Rayon?

Damn - yep, that obvious? I never was any good at that game.

@Giles:

So there are piles of stuff waiting until we can move or ship….

Are those superblack high top sneakers hiding just barely visible on the table?

[AdamJ]

@Alex_24 Good spot!

Clearing the mezzanines for the Big Dug installation tomorrow….

Our usually tidy unpacking area will look like this for the next couple of days…

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 

[Seul]

Eeeeh maybe you could ride over my jacket a couple of times to start softening it up… Do a couple of burn outs... Wabi-sabi maaaaannn.......

[Giles]

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…..

[Seul]

Fox crap!.. My favourite!.. (Thanks for sending it Fexpress btw…)

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…..

[AdamJ]

many thumbs have been hammered on that slab of iron!

[Giles]

I've just a very quick and dirty calculation.  In excess of 20,000 pairs of jeans have been beaten up on the OG denim….

[LewisStonehouse]

Would be a nice piece framed on the wall

[Giles]

That's the plan

how many of your fingers included?

[Giles]

It's always the same one…...

[motojobobo]

It may be nice to use a different denim this second time around, and frame it after 20000 pairs are hemmed. Should make a nice comparison on IH denim toughness levels!

[Giles]

Too late, I've already glued 21oz indigo selvedge to the plate…. ??? ???

Bet you've got some great patina on that finger nail

[Giles]

Current evo…..
