First samples (Italy Business trip)
Candiani not only sponsored the denim fabrics and gave us a tour in their factories but they also washed our (first) samples. While in Italy we saw our two jeans (koi505 & koi606) for the very first time.
This for me was a very important lesson for the future. You now got to work closely with professionals. We discussed at Candiani the laundry part. So that means in which way we wanted the jeans to be washed, or where to put little destroyments and in which way.
At Imjit we discussed the fit of the jeans, because we saw that after the jeans are made and then washed the fit may shrinked. Also we made comments how things where stitched wrong or may have been stitched in the wrong order, so that for the next sample everything will be fine.
