@Alex Holy shit that's insane. where did you fly into?

Haneda at 0745 - big planes from Thailand, India and two from London all arrived at about the same time

@Nkwkfld:

Will there be some more photos of production? If possible would be cool to see.

That's the plan mate…

Safe travels! Much appreciated that whilst you must have a long list of things to do you still take the time to take pictures and let us „be part of it“.

Yesterday was lightweight denim agent / mill meetings and tours…

7am Shinkansen from Tokyo to Fukuyama

Always sit on the right hand side of the train for the views…

No images of the meeting - lots of discussion about denim availability for the next two years and production capacity in the factories that make the clothes with it. You need to be a much better photographer than me to make those spreadsheets look interesting

Lunch pitstop for some ひつまぶし (hitsumabushi) - eel and rice, and in this case a bunch of sides too

[Alex]

Next up, touring two mills

Would love to see them weaving!
Have you made some videos in the mills @Alex ?

Look on my Instagram stories, they are too short to upload to Vimeo

Forgot how annoying these masks are with glasses

[Aetas]

Short videos, but worth seeing! Thanks Alex.

Jet lag is kicking my arse - I was up at 0315 yesterday and 0500 today. Went for a nice walk before we kicked things off today
