Three Padmores Head to Japan

[Salted Racer]

Looks like an awesome trip and I loved the behind-the-scenes stuff--truly denim nerd heaven. Also really shows the company as a family more than any other brand I can think of and that makes me very glad to be a customer.

That indigo/persimmon...I think I drooled over it for at least a few minutes lol

Thanks for sharing @Giles ! Being able to visit factories like that sounds like a great vacay, if you ask me.

Hoping Haraki changes his mind on the kimono fabric. I get it though, it would have fit under TW than it would IH.

Don’t listen to him. Canadians can find the bright side of anything. The rest of us live in the real world.

He liked it, but has other priorities

Back to Tokyo via Okayama. First leg…..

Not our train, but a colourful commuter in Kojima…

@Sarina This is brilliant, "good poo is born in a comfy place" is my favourite

"It may only be once, so make it precious" I never thought I'd find my new personal mantra on a Japanese toilet manual

@Sarina My favorite thing about this is how absolutely thorough it is. Amazing.

"You can flush toilet paper all you want. But your guilt won't." It doesn't get more philosophical than this.

Enjoying this whole thread!! The toilet manual is hilarious. This needs to be printed out and hung up at every public toilet there is. Oh, almost forgot: Can someone transfer this concept to recycling bins please?

That‘s basically Kant‘s categorical imperative, applied on toilets, and in Japan.
