HWDC Event 1 - Gosport Chain Stitch Massacre
-
Huge thanks to everyone who joined us today, and to all you guys who have followed our adventures, and bought the MBB's. A special thank you to G+P for hosting this event, and to Simon and Junior for their expertise with the Union Special.
I have had a fantastic day, met some great people, and really enjoyed meeting up with old friends like Matt (Patch), Ruedi (Swissjeansfreak) and Danny (R+H). Great people make for great times, and all you guys are the best.
Tommy has had such a special time, and thanks Graeme for his Easter Egg, and Ruedi for his Swiss chocolate. I'm off to sleep now, hanging around motorway service stations in the early hours really takes its toll on me.
-
Extra special thanks go to Sergio from Starbucks at the St Mimms services for hiding the MBB's in the WH Smiths stockroom. We wouldn't have made it without him.
-
Thanks to G&P Gav & Pam & everyone else for organising such a great meet up.
Gav measuring the first pair out of the box - Bagley, your MBB's have that dubious honour!
Cutting the first pair; 25" inseam that's right isn't it?
Sorry this one is out of focus. I think you get the idea, Pam, Rudi, MBB's & pliers :-\
Junior working whilst the rest of us watch.
The three boys; Cam, Rowan & Tommy where all golden, really good lads all day.
Evening meal at the local Marina restaurant.

@SimonQ.:
man, what do you guys chose for hemming? iam super satisfied with 35inches on the chinos (IH-816) but the standard 36inches on the BBOD are too long. Any suggestions? Something which comes up at 35-35.5inches after washing and settling?
mine have not been hemmed .[
36 inches? -
UPDATE FROM GOSPORT!
We probably managed to process about 35 of over 100 MBB orders yesterday, and after breakfasting with our CSM guests will be back in the office this afternoon. Nothing can ship tomorrow because it's a public holiday, we're hoping that all "straightforward" MBB orders will be ready to ship on Tuesday afternoon (and certainly those that don't require hemming).
Anyone who has requested a size change, I won't be able to work out what's possible until I've got a complete picture of what's been requested, so please bear with me and I'll get back to you later today or tomorrow.
Happy Easter!

I figured you'd be more jealous of the look on Giles's face as Paula slides her hand down into his… egg.
