Today’s job, buttonholes courtesy of this beast the Iron Duke aka the Reece 101. The only machine to mimic a hand stitched keyhole/eyelet button hole, complete with gimp thread, cut after sew. Developed in the 1800’s these machines were only leased and you paid per buttonhole, it wasn’t til the end of the 1970’s that companies could buy these machines. #specialist #reece101 #jeansmaker #britishmaker #madetherightway #knowyourmaker #selvedge #japaneseselvedge #dawsondenim #traceeachstitch #denimlife #denimcommunity (at Dawson Denim) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AAYzJD61o/?igshid=1valn5jgth0n6
