Great looking jeans.  Good Luck

[Megatron1505]

Thought this should be in here, we will keep you informed of developments. Do not worry at this stage, if ny jeans are delayed at all I will amend your competition dates so you do not lose any competition time.

@Giles:

This is the issue.  The looms being at the limit of possibility stop mid weave randomly, this results in a stuttered re-start.  The next few throws of the shuttle resultes in uneven weft lay down.  So we have a band of imperfection running across the cloth.  It is not a good look to utilise in anything.  So we have to cut the patterns out around these bands of imperfection.  That is what we are doing with the MBB's at the moment.  To be honest haraki and I do not know what the impact on MBB delivery will be.  Haraki understands the importance of the MBB issue and will be in the factories the minute his arse lands back in Japan assessing where we are.

As an aside, we get a constant 20% bad fabric when weaving the 21oz.

preorder on hat and shirt is in. can't wait

[1moarlap]

The possible delay is a bummer, but everyone has already patiently waited this long so I don't see a huge difference in waiting a little longer. I'm sure the MBBs will be worth it when they're finished and I'll still be looking forward to wearing my pair for the first time.

Quick reminder for those who have purchased HWDC belts. Your belts are being manufactured now, and should be with me by around the 22nd of March. If you have only paid the deposit, this date is when I will need the balance of your payment by.

…So, is it too late to enter the competition? My new 634s are looking for a challenge. Too bad I just missed the t-shirt ordering deadline, but such is life.

[llvlaglne]

Apparently not! HC-IH-74 checking in. Now I just have to avoid going on any long-distance hikes in them until then!

[llvlaglne]

interesting. im IH-IH-71…. wonder why you're hc and i'm ih

edit: changed to HC-IH-71

[Megatron1505]

Because I typoed, everyone signed up through this forum should be an HC-IH-** 

[wearoften]

I was wanting to pay the balance of my MBB's while i have money burning a hole in my pocket.  I tracked down a link G posted to do so earlier in the thread, but it just takes me to the IHUK homepage.  Are we still able to do so?

[llvlaglne]

contact G. he will most likely ask you to send it to IHUK paypal

[summ3rhays]

How soon until a MBB thread is started in the Bottoms section?  Just curious and I'm getting way too excited.

[Giles]

Let me talk to Madame Buttonfly about the best way to manage this…..One if us will post info here later......

[Madame Buttonfly]

We feel bad (well a little bit bad) about taking your money early but it's entirely up to you! 

Link for balance payment is here:

Please note you don't need to select size as that was done when deposit payment was made but as you know exact measurements will be published as soon as the jeans hit town.
