Three Padmores Head to Japan

Wow what beautiful fabrics and cool machinery. What's the plan with the kimono fabric and when will we see the natural indigo? Also will the 21ozSBG be in Gosport soon?

[AdamJ]

@Nik 21oz SBG won't be here for a good few months, if you're referring to the superblack selvedge non-fade, then current ETA is April

[Nik]

Thanks @AdamJ

[Giles]

We will use it at home and on SAKURA as table runners...

The natural indigo denim will be completed in about 11 months, then we have to sample and make stuff. It's unlikely that we will make jeans from it, as it will be fearfully (but gratifyingly) expensive....

Loving these photos and videos, so impressive. Looking forward to seeing those fabrics in situ on Sakura @Giles

[Giles]

Me too

[Nik]

@Giles Amazing to see all the time consuming details and hard work that is put into making the world’s best denim. Thank you for sharing. Geeking Mekka Hahha

I'll start saving now then.

Thanks for all the pictures and videos. Enjoy this behind the scenes stuff.

[Kasi]

Next gonna be expensive month for everyone

Best seat in the restaurant…..

[EdH]

I'd love it if restaurant seats were individually indexed in the UK. Especially when you're a big dining party, you'd avoid that moment where the waiter turns up and has no idea who ordered the steak well done with sweet potato fries but hold the tomato, and who had it rare with regular fries, and no one at the table can remember what they wanted.

Maybe it's just the company I keep...

Just to echo what everyone else has said,really enjoyed all the behind the scenes stuff and the additional insight into how the denim is made. I can’t imagine you’ll ever get the chance,but the Harley assembly plant in York,PA is considered one of the top 10 places to see things being made. I’m sure Haraki would love it.

The indigo/persimmon denim is beautiful! Please tell me you’re going to make something from it (Type III - Non Modified- for us shorter folks).

Thank you for the videos as I love the sounds and seeing everything/one in motion!

[endo]

fascinating, thank you @Giles

I loved that so much. Haraki, not so much. I'm considering starting a new brand to make shit out of stuff like this

I actually thought it would suit a Type II more than a III.....But hey, what do I know.....

[goosehd]

I’ll do a type II. Size XL if you’re making a sample…

[Link-Of-Time]

@Giles I think natural indigo would sell pretty well, I know I'd probably try to get a pair!
