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

All our denim comes from 3 family run mills in Japan, two of which date back to the 1800’s. We visit every 18 months when possible and when we go we take the opportunity to stay in #kurashiki most people know of this small town because of its rare Bikan historical centre. For us we stay there because it’s the birthplace of Japanese denim. In the 1880’s the same decade the #dawsongarage was built Kurabo denim was weaving in this town. We have huge respect for the history and skill our Japanese mills have we consider ourselves very fortunate to have their respect and support. #japaneseselvedge #dawsondenim #okayamaselvedge #okayamadenim #japanesedenim #britishmade #japanesejeans #britishjeans #brighton #okayama #hove #madetherightway #supportyourlocal #imadeyourclothes #responsibleclothing #indigo #toyodalooms #denimlovers #indigodye #indigolovers (at Okayama-shi, Okayama, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JK03oDGVP/?igshid=1gqm0taqvrsj1

Fashion Revolution Week is a movement to try and improve conditions and safety in clothing factories worldwide, and to urge companies to act transparently. We are doing our part, with our supplier @teemillstore. Not only are all our products organic, sustainable and made using renewable energy, but every product page on our website has a tab that allows you to follow that product's journey. ・・・ @teemillstore: "One of the best bits about visiting our supply chain is meeting the people along the way. Natubi took time out of his day to show us round the #organic farm where the cotton is grown. As well as #organiccotton, he looks after other crops like onions, castor oil and tobacco. Farming is a family tradition and goes back as far as his relatives remember, a heritage that Natubi is super proud of. In his spare time he likes to tend to his personal farm where he grows vegetables 🍠🌽🚜 Follow the journey of your products, see how they're made and meet the people along the way - from seed to shop."

In the words of #janegoodall "you cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." The truth is that every day needs to be #earthday or else there won't be much of an earth left to hand over. We try to do our part @ikigaitees by using sustainable sources, GOTS certified organic fabrics, and renewable energy. Comfortable clothes made the right way This 'World View' t-shirt exemplifies (@rechrisj 😜) our belief that is important to maintain a global perspective. . . #ikigaitees #ikigai #worldview #globalperspective #organic #organiccotton #organicfashion #sustainable #sustainablefashion #renewableenergy #renewable #ethicalfashion #ethicalclothing #ethicalconsumer #madetherightway (at Bristol, United Kingdom)
