Rainer Stratmann. Silk Road Project

Thanks to Eleanor at Kick and Screen, we've got some really nice care labels printed up, and a screen with a squeegee and ink to keep on trucking with, and try out all sorts of different fabrics. These care labels will be sewn into the lining, as a third pocket, and signed by the maker with a date and place written in as well.

Event Horizon is not a bad film, but few seem to have seen it. It flopped when it came out, but has apparently become a bit of a cult film now days. Hit the Bay and grab it, it's worth seeing.

A fine bit of Australian film right here. Smoke em if You Got em, 1988. Good to see the Peak Oil Company gear features prominently throughout ;)

We've been thinking about the care label that is required in garments. The tag that says where it was made, out of what materials, and what the washing instructions are. True to our design principles, this label has to be multi functional and DIY-able. So...

Yeah well, happy stralya day you lot, remember it was an invasion, on a very old people, by people sent in unhappy circumstances.

If people take the pattern and design and improve it for other purposes, then the expectation is they'll let us know, and share the new design back, under the Share Alike condition of the copyright license we're putting on this.

We stopped by East Warburton last week, and bought an old canvas family tent. We knew it was beyond repair for its original purpose :( but grabbed it for its recyclable canvas.

Inspired by this video from Soph, describing the Ryukyu process of indigo dying.

It's a good idea to try and integrate a bed and shelter into a backpack. We think everything you carry should have multiple functions, and be as simple as possible.

The kangaroo tales and skins arrived today. Up from Tasmania. We're looking forward to using this unique product in the jackets we're making for recent orders from the UK and Alaska!
