Factory Samples and Site Migration

We've been pretty busy here at the Last house this past week. On Friday Jawn and I went out to Ly & Le Sewing to take a look at the first Hakama sample they had sewn up for us. I'm pleased to report that they have turned out really well. Not only does this mean that we're now ready to roll with our first production run but also, to my personal satisfaction, my patterns and sewing instructions worked.
Now that our patterns and construction are finalized it's time for us to clear out our cupboards.

Production gets underway

So the news is we're actually getting the clothing into production. As of this morning we have our first run of Perio Shirts under way. We're still looking for someone to manufacture the Hakama but in the meanwhile Jawn has been hard at work sewing them himself. Also, speaking of Jawn, he's been making some awesome hats this last week. You can expect some pictures soon.

Where are your User pictures?

It has come to my attention that some of you folks have neglected to post any image to your profile.

The Administration requests that you all remedy this situation immediately.
If you can't find a cool picture we'll happily find one for you, just leave a comment.

Of Fear, the Psychology of Nations and of Love

I think it's worth looking at nations as we look at people. If you anthropomorphise nations it will give you an interesting outlook on their behavior and on the world story. Imagine the world as a high school and look at who likes to hang out with who. You'll quickly be able to identify the archetypal characters that embody each country. If you're well versed in history and think of every one or two hundred years as being a grade then you can get an idea of the way each nation is growing up.

We have a search bar!

Apparently it's been there since September!
It's so awesome!

Building a manual for ethical business

Working in the garment industry, both starting a business and as my 9 to 5, I've discovered that there is a sore need for some sort of user manual.

What is a socially responsible company?

What does social responsibility mean to you? What do you want to see us doing here at Last to improve the way we do business?
If you look at our about us section you'll see some of our thoughts on the matter but, seeing as we're rather new to this, we'd certainly like to know what the rest of you think is most important.

Cheers.

Can't compete with them Dwarves

Damn, looking over the exploits of Jawn's Dwarves I realize that by contrast I sound like a stuffy old man with my posts about things actually related to the business and all - I am, of course, a stuffy old man so this should come as no surprise.
I'm thinking I'll have to take up a pointless time consuming hobby. Maybe I'll start blogging about my Tameshigiri exploits. That'll keep you all riveted I'm sure.
