@benviapiana: Ben’s Library: Manual of Work Garment Manufacture by Union Special. This is a great book and it’s pretty rare in its original state. It’s available online in PDF form and you can buy reprints too. But that paper from 1921 just smells different. Mmmmm . . . #unionspecial #sewingmachine #denim #selvedgedenim #madeinusa 🎥: @darinjmb
Question. I see your jeans are like $500 ish. I find I cannot find factory made jeans that are work quality. denim is either stretchy or too light to stand up to real work. is your stuff fashion or for work?

Any remarkable "forgotten wisdom" you've discovered in books like these?

Am I going to build a jeans factory? No. Do I want this book to memorize and think endlessly about said plans? Yes. Yes I do.

that is crazy. I wonder how many people actually read that book and setup a garment factory based on it.

You already know how to make garments. You don't need it anymore. You should send it to me so I can learn.

So many craftspeople - writers, editors, photographers, illustrators, typesetters, printing press operators, book binders who learned skills that were passed down and refined through centuries of publishing, and now it’s on the brink of extinction. Very sad.

Your posts are making me think I should have a go on my (Great) Aunty May's old Singer. It's sad to think it's been sitting idle since she last used it sometime in the 1970s. She lost her sight years before dying at 94yo in 1989.

I thought I was the only one who loved saving the manuals/books & refer back to them this day. Beautiful history preserved 💜🫶🏼💜
