        This is a genius idea that we have not seen before. Warm stones at the bottom of the bread basket. I have a feeling that is we see a pebbly beach today, @Madame-Buttonfly will be asking to get out of the car......

                I should have said Western where? Like clearly they have not seen an American breakfast. It’s 8500 calories of home cooked artery stopping freedom. USA 🇺🇸

                    Today we went to one of only 2 natural indigo dyeing/weaving factories left in Japan. Prepare for a photo/video dump later on…..

                    For the time being, this is the indigo as it comes through the front door….DFE7D936-239A-45A2-BDD5-754D452721FD.jpeg

                            I see this and I wonder what happened to require such instructions. Or is it just Japanese covering all eventualities?

                              There is zero leeway to do anything that is not in the manual in Japan . This is an extreme, but not uncommon, manifestation of that.

                                So today, we went across the Seto Inland Sea to the island of Shikoku. We are having a new natural indigo denim made there. We visited the dyeing and weaving factory. I've been to a lot of mills, but this was seriously old skool shit....
