I thought they where handsewn by retired Japanese Geisha’s!! I want my money back!

[Giles]

If we say that on the product pages , then of course we will….

Are menthol Marlboros still legally available in Japan?

Someone has been testing the arc machine…..

This is your man.

(No animals were used in testing)

@Giles swoon!

[pechelman]

@Giles what's going on here?

Specifically, why are there so many rolls that aren't fully used, used to different amounts, and why do they look already heavily faded? Or are these looking weft side out? Are these going to be used for something or did something happen to them that they're not going to make the cut?

[Giles]

Weft side out. The answer is super complicated to write down, in a way that can be understood, without me taking hours crafting the reply. but, yes it will be used.

@Giles when I am gone one day and hopefully make it to denim heaven, these are exactly the images I‘d want to see first when I open my eyes

[Giles]

Not Boss

[Giles]

Refuelling. The attendant placed this over the drivers door mirror. No idea why, anyone know?

[jordanscollected]

@Giles I’m curious about those carts piled with jeans and Wabash CPO’s. Are those past QC or still have to go through QC? What % of jeans and or shirts get flagged by QC and is there anything most common to see on a certain garment?

[Alex]

@jordanscollected those are a partial order ready to go to the Kojima store for a second round of QC then shipping to the UK. I don’t know the factory QC fail rate, as they are not our staff, but we pick up QC fails on 5ish% of products in Kojima. The most common thing is a single missed stitch

[goosehd]

@Giles it translates to “it’s in the four oils” “regular” and I can’t translate the last line.

[Jord]

@Giles

I hate AI but I do use it for things like this when I travel...

[Jord]

@goosehd I didn't see your post, I gotta learn Japanese haha
