Buying a Shuttle Loom

[chad]

Heya,

I was hoping to get some pointers on where I can get my hands on an old denim shuttle loom in the US. This would be used as a museum style piece so it doesn't have to be functional.

Thanks so much.

i'm assuming this is for evisu's new showroom, right?

which is ironic because according to denim mythology, evisu are the guys who bought up all the vintage denim looms in the first place.

The Japanese mills i have been in contact with have broken down looms, and they also have spareparts, and lots of them, so you could probably build a loom from that as well. If this is for Evisu, i'm sure if you look in the right places you'll find one without too much hassle.

edit: didn't see the "in the US", sorry. Then i'm not sure.

I know some people still have them in El Paso,

Very interesting. I live in El Paso. Any idea where?

I work in fashion. I have a vendor who makes his proto samples with old machine, I will see if he has any.

Hey thanks guys. I would really appreciate any leads.

And yes, this is for Evisu. We have them in Japan but I was hoping to source locally.
