      @mclaincausey:

      Giles, there seemed to be a strategy to vertically integrate some more of the materials production aspects of the supply chain. Are those still in flight?

      In relation to this, I seem to recall the potential to buy a mill.

        Buying a mill is not part of the plan at the moment, though I did discuss the possibility with H last night. 😉 😉 😉

        Buying the Union Special production line (the heavy ounce line) in the jeans factory is still part of the short/medium term plan.

                I can't remember.  There is a load of natural indigo stuff flying around, as for organic cotton, probably not.  We wanted to move to this, but it really really narrows our options down….

                I am spending whole day in Hachioji tomorrow.  Will take loads of photos and ask loads of questions.

                              Since this isn't waffles, chocolate, or beer, the opinion of a Belgican is irrelevant.

                                      Paula and I had 2 long discussions with H yesterday.

                                      This is the result…

                                      Yesterday

                                      Tomorrow

                                      It makes sense in so many ways.  It's easier for Haraki, it's easier for us, it's easier for the retailers and there is no confusion for you - same great products, same great brand pedigree….
