          Then a quick screen printing lesson from Sarina's husband who runs the screen printing factory where our (and loads of other brands) tees are printed.

          Now for a beer while @Chesson edits some photos taken on a good camera to upload….

            Oi @Chesson working not shirking, lad. Although it is Sunday so a nice bit of lelaxing sounds in order.

            Is that the made to order OGL bag you’re literally fronting @Alex ?

                There is a maxi size too, right? Are they coming to a website near me soon?

                  Thank you Giles. I’ve been admiring it on IG.

                    The maxi size was the original sample, and we tweaked it to be a little smaller as we thought it more fitting for the demand in our market. Available from Sonder Supplies soon

                                      It's a great bag. I bought mine back in August and it's very handy when you don't want to lug a backpack around. Probably not much difference weight/size wise when compared to other bags but it's very useful. I'm surprised IH doesn't carry Master-Piece stuff for the Sonders Supply store

                                        That’s an interesting screen printing set up. Here in the US printers use a circular press to print shirts. I’ve never seen one like this before. Seems like it would take longer

                                          Last night we went for Okonomiyaki, Modanyaki,  Negiyaki and something with a load of sticky yam on the top which was not particularly appetising to the western palette (no pics). All three of us were rocking our c/o Shazams too.

                                          Today Haraki led the way to Kuroki mills on his Harley and we showed Limbro around the mill. More pics on that to follow from @Chesson 

                                          Now to Tokyo…..
