Also thanks to whomever moved it, in hindsight I shouldn't have put it where I did.

That was me and no probs.  Just felt better to have an new thread…..

Agree wholeheartedly.

This upstart StOry is interesting, they talk about and have videos about their process, including all natural hank dying.

story mfg. Is mine and my partners brand! I'm a long time lurker here (bought some things off you guys though) and I'm ecstatic to see this posted here!

looks all very promising.
keep us updated!

Cool StOry bro. Haha.

Thanks guys. It's been a long slog but it's all been worth it. The denim is indian and we have powerloomed and hand loomed denims. They're all dyed with natural indigo, most hank dyed (in different methods) and the jeans are made up here in the UK.

Every part is made by a craftsman, and there's no exploitation anywhere (if you don't count extortionate import duties we're going to get crushed under).
