          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....

                    Hanks of natural indigo yarns, showing the end result after varying numbers of dips. The right-hand hank is 25 times dipped. Out denim will be dipped 28 times 🙂

                            That's awesome. Sometimes I wish I followed my granddad, getting a degree in mechanical engineering instead of law. These old pieces of machinery are stunning!
