Fabrics are on their way to Nepal

Monator, the guys who are creating our website, are doing a great job. What they have showed us so far looks great and we are really excited to see the final result.

Our logo is finished and I am currently working on a newsletter in which we will present it. So if you've not signed up for the newsletter yet, send an e-mail to info[a]thefairtailor.com.

I have been back in Sweden for almost two weeks now and I have not been able to lose the cold I caught in Nepal yet. It's starting to take its toll on me, so I'm trying to slow down a bit.

Right now we are working on improving our budget and business plan. Since all of Nepal is closed for Dashain celebrations until October 2, nothing happens in the production house right now. But the fabrics are on their way from India. The organic cotton fabrics have been dyed outside Ahmedabad, Gujarat, in the north west of India. The egyptian cotton fabrics are beeing collected from storage and packed for shipment to Nepal.

It's going to be really exciting to get all the fabrics to Nepal so that we can start making the tailor made shirts.

2000m fabrics

After having spent a weekend spent over fabric swatches Lina and I have agreed on which fabrics we want to use for the launch of The Fair Tailor. We plan to have 25% ecological cotton fabrics and 75% Egyptian cotton fabrics.

The ecological fabrics are as ecological as they get. The cotton is grown without cemical pesteciedes and the yarn is dyed using aincent organic techiques.

The Egyptian cotton is the finest you usually are able to get a hold of. If a fabric is 100% cotton, the fibers are 15-40mm (more 15 than 40 to be honstet...) and when a fabric is 100% Egyptian cotton the fibers are more than 40mm. And the result is a longer, smoother, lighter and stroger fabric. Perfect for high end tailor made shirts.

I'm back in Sweden

So after a 28h journey from Nepal to Sweden I am finally at home again. Right now I must admit that I am a little bit jetlagged. But come on, can you really blame me. But I do warn you, some of the words might come out a little strange in this post.

I have just got fabric samples of Egyptian cotton fabrics from India and the quality is so good. Much better than I had expected and I had high expectations. We have maybe 500 fabrics to choose from and we have samples of them all.

The trip to Nepal was a great succes. It took 15-16h workdays but we pulled it of in the end. But I could not have done it without Tirtha, Govinda and the other guys. Thank you all.
