HWDC Event 1 - Gosport Chain Stitch Massacre

[Finn666]

that is if they all have been chopped and chained…at least one pair i know off isn´t getting any treatment prior to shipping!

[Giles]

I'm not counting.  But there are 49 parcels waiting to be picked up and we hope to double that before MrUPSMan comes tomorrow.  I have help arriving at 09:00, the 25ozers take a lot of time, so if I get someone to measure, chop and hammer, my throughput doubles…

[Simon]

I really wish I could give you a hand with those Giles, but I've got family commitments  :-\

Damn you guys are amazing.  I just received a notification informing me that a shipping label has been created - you guys are machines!  100+ pairs of 25oz denim armor hemmed and chainstitched over the course of just a short, bloody fingered, bleary-eyed and hung over weekend, and you're still on schedule.  Super impressive.  I don't think I need to mention that I'm pretty stoked….

[seanocono]

^Agreed on all fronts. Herculean effort.

Just wanted to say a huge Thankyou to Giles , Paula & Mega for all their hard work.
Lovely to see everyone at the wknd & the Mrs & I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Can't wait to see what people can do to the mega busters..

[Finn666]

Giles and Paula are the best…period! words can't describe how much respect and love I feel for them!
there's no mission impossible and even in the roughest and toughest hours, they find time for everything else!

thanks a ton to the both of you! on thursday, there will be at least 107 happy guys all around the world and that's just cuz of you and the japan crew...great feeling!

[Jordan23]

Big respect for P and G for your hard work and passion!

Enjoy ya addiction!

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Yeah

Thanks to their great and intense effort!!!

And to all HWDC contest people I just say: Day one of the contest has gone, so look forward for your fading work  the next 729 days.

I'm really so impressed and almost can't think ahead about all those many freshly ongoing denim evolution projects for the next 2 years or even beyond. Just imagine the millions of stories those pants will reflect after their retirenment

So it's time to switch from Happy Easter to Happy Fading!!!
Have fun

outstanding and this picture is priceless,  a jeans designer and  a jeans  collector.

Mate, if you can fly me over I'll do it for free ;). Would love to help just a little far away.

[Giles]

Thank you for the offer.  But I have someone (no disrespect intended) much prettier than you, measuring and chopping and we are flying…..

[Snowy]

^Should let you get back to it, but you're a lucky man, and she's a lucky lady

@Giles:

…I have someone (no disrespect intended) much prettier than you, measuring and chopping...

I'm imagining the scene must look a little like this:

On one side of the room

On the other side of the room:

[Finn666]

looks like "the other side" needs some help as well…Finn's already packing!

[Giles]

Too late Finn…..

[Finn666]

wasn't talking about helping her out on cutting G.!

[Giles]

And, todays gold star for shipping prowess goes to the one and only Madame Buttonfly…......

[rocket]

yeah well done Shipping Queen…

[Madame Buttonfly]

UPDATE - bit disappointed as only managed to get 92 packages out today… was hoping to get to 3 figures but ran out of time...

Anyway, we've really broken the back of the MBB work now, so apologies to anyone who has paid the balance and is not waiting on a size change who hasn't shipped today, we'll get these out tomorrow.
