Jeans factory continued…
Faults in the denim are marked with white chalk so that they can be easily spotted and worked around..
A pile of discard on the floor
This leg found to have a fault in it after being cut out, so it is being used as a template to cut a good leg
Inoha gets to grips with the inseam chainstitcher
Could have gone better, so Sarina is offering "advice"
Then Akashi, owner of the shirt workshop comes to pick us up and can't help marvelling at some UHR's
Just a few rolls of denim awaiting conversion….(all of that is non selvedge)...

Great pics and it was fun to watch the video. Cool insight into the process and people!

OK, I've woken up again…
At the shirting factory...
Stacks of patterns
Little miracles of engineering…
This is the triple chainstitch head that does all of our triple stitching….
This bit I found mind boggling. Not all thread that is ostensibly the same, is actually exactly the same from batch to batch or spin to spin. The threads may have different roughnesses, so this little device allows the operator to adjust the pre-needle friction on each thread, so when the 3 threads get to the needles, they are at exactly the same tension….
Random sewing stuff…
The sample cutter….
