@Giles we see your two lawnmowers on Big Suze, and raise you two sewing machines

Today these lovelies went on a little journey, to be temporarily relocated in readiness for something new, coming soon…

Please also take a moment to admire unit 2’s glorious reloved windows. These have been worked on for the past few months and are in the final stages of completion

Is that a bartack machine?? If not, what is it?

[Lynne]

@sophisto000 it is indeed a bar tack machine, but that’s not all! It converts from bar tacker to a pre-programmed and a bespoke programmable stitcher. It’s rather fabulous and I’ll be showing more of what it can do over the coming weeks.

The other machine is a 5-thread overlocker, which we’ve set up to match Iron Heart’s machines in Japan as closely as possible. More to come on that too, but in the meantime here are some bar tacks for you

@Lynne What a cool photo! Love those...

[sophisto000]

@Lynne
Awesome, looks like it’d be fun to work with!

[Lynne]

@sophisto000 even more so on very well-worn denim, which has a mind of its own!

[Bridger]

Look great @Lynne, keen to see more

[Matt]

What amazing bar tacks.

As an aside… my iPhone corrected bar tacks to bar tacos so I’ll be stepping out for a bit.

@Matt need a lie down to recover from all this modern technology?

[Matt]

Subliminal messages about tacos have been around for ever. It’s just the delivery method that changes.

Tacos

Feels like a dedicated taco forum thread is required

[sabergirl]

Did someone say tacos?! I heard the call. It’s like the fucking bat signal

[Lynne]

You always know when @JoshC is in the house -
the Union Special special ‘special rings & tings’ holder is in full use…

[thatdenimguy]

I don't know much about sewing but that's definitely what that bit is for

[JoshC]

@thatdenimguy Absolutely haha, it's not like I have little draw underneath I could put them in, but typical me always gotta be different

[Bailey]

And just like that, only 2 pairs of the newly restocked 1955s remain! (and a handful of the OD's).

280+ Orders processed today by us guys in the Packing Crew!!

[JoshC]

to add what @Bailey mentioned, 72 orders with hemming taken over the road ready for me @Shaun and @Lynne to get cut and get hemmed tomorrow! YOUR JEANS ARE COMING!!

[EdH]

Time to make the 1955 a core cut? IIRC, they sold just as quick when there was a restock last year too.
