When I was in Japan, Haraki raised the ugly possibility that we may not be able to make any more 25oz denim.  The Mill is having a tough time justifying the wastage (even though we buy it back from them, it offends their sense of perfection).  Pressure was applied.  We are weaving as I type….HURRAH.....

HURRAH!

@Giles:

(even though we buy it back from them, it offends their sense of perfection)

God I wish I could understand where this came from. Not as a logical concept, but as a cultural feeling / way of life. One of those JP concepts that's so deep in the culture.

There is a sense of perfection and there is a sense of wastage or the term "Mottainai"  both are embraced by the older generations.

just watching coverage of the OKC tornadoes on CNN tonight - hope our boy JSJ is safe

[Mild7]

Haven't heard from him in a little while.. Was thinking the same thing last night.

[Snowy]

:(. I've seen photos of Lori around on IG over the past week, but have not seen JSJ in them. Hopefully just good busy, and very safe.

Yep… multiple twisters all over that town.  Amazing, hammered again, including Moore...  Thoughts and prayers...

Dreamt about unsanforized denim last night. Again. I like this.

Just catching up. You guys are awesome. Lori and I are safe and snug. I've been insanely busy and haven't popped in to check out things for a bit. I had to drive through the destructed areas today. Pretty insane seeing things that you've seen hundreds of times completely destroyed. We're investing in a storm shelter…

Great to read you Joe, glad you and Lori are ok.

[Mild7]

^ good news Joe.  Can't fathom what you are going through. Stay safe.

[Seul]

Keep Lori safe. For GOD'S SAKE keep Lori safe. And snug. And warm.

[Snowy]

Great to hear Joe! I'm imagining a Man Cave / Storm Shelter. Hopefully it's never needed, but sounds like it's heavily worth the investment.

If you have any digital asset you'd like to get a copy out of the area, feel free to drop me a PM and I'll help figure out an appropriate way (if possible) to make sure your data is safe. x
