@Giles what's going on here?
Are these going to be used for something or did something happen to them that they're not going to make the cut?OK. Have some time whilst I wait for the plane to Haneda.
Simplistically:
The denim comes from the mill on 50M rolls. A pair of jeans takes, on average, 2.8M of selvedge denim.
So we can get approx 18 pairs of jeans out of a roll.
The roll is placed in a spreading machine and lays 2.8M of denim in multiple layers.
Let's assume we have ordered 15 pairs of tag 32. We will lay 15 layers (well probably 16 in case we end up with a defective pair), of denim, and then move that pile of 16 layers down to the cutting table.
The end of roll, in this case 5.6M of denim, is put to one side.
After we have cut most of the tag sizes, we will be left with multiple end-of-rolls. This denim will be used to make the last tag sizes, but rather than using the spreading table, the denim will be laid in 2.8M layers manually.

@Giles The car you were in takes “Regular” gasoline and the cover says that ensuring that the right fuel is used. It also signals to other attendants that you have been helped and are being serviced by someone in the team.
