@EdH My guess is that these are the 730/731 variety, though.

Went out for dinner in our "if we are in Kojima, this is where we eat at night" restaurant....

[Twistlock]

Cool, thanks G. Patiently waiting for this to drop.

[Giles]

Haraki needed to keep the children quiet....

@Giles I don’t see you helping…

[Daniel San]

dinner looks fantastic , now I am hungry

@Giles In regard to the superblack non fade Denim - where's the difference between the 666S-SB and the 9634Z material-wise? Same thing, and selvedge vs. non-selvedge, or a different denim?

[Giles]

Basically the same weft and warp, but woven on a shuttle loom rather than a projectile.....

Actuarry, Haraki bought the first one for me, and I failed to complete the task, so I gave it to Yasu to complete, Tom san got velly jearus, so Haraki bought one for her....

And before anyone asks, @Madame-Buttonfly and @Sarina stole all those ^

Amazed, fascinated and now curious what you do next @Sarina @Madame-Buttonfly
Looks like you have all fun.

if they get enough of it, they can make 1 super selvedge pair of jeans..

Loving these photos of the journey, especially the factory photos.

[Kasi]

Nice enjoying the photos.

I always wanted the 21oz superblack in buttons fly rather zipper fly.

I can remember maybe 8 years ago when I brought a Superblack in 666
Had the a natural devil patch..

@Giles Revisiting the 'cutting' pictures - how's the denim cut, is that machine in the back something like a vertical bandsaw?

[Giles]

This?

Yes.

We use that for "manual" cutting.

On larger runs, we use a digital laser cutter like this...

[tody]

Thanks, that's really interesting. I know that this is all industry standard, but that's something I'd really like to see in a 'how it's done' documentary on IH.
