One of the best in our industry.

If you haven’t been to his New wash plant in Denver, it will blow your mind...
He takes the term ‘rug professional’ to a whole new level....

 

[Papa John]

He is so cool, he can bleed and correct a 50k rug without panicking. My sphincter tightened from the stress seeing the color run. And relieved and amazed when he corrected it.

I was most impressed by his vault... and the walk in freezer for insect damage...
When a guy buys an old bank vault for the truly high end pieces, he obviously has arrived at master level....

Sounds like it.

 

[Ron K]

If you ever meet him ....call him that.

 

[The Great Oz]

He has yarn made specifically for rug repair and we have a stock of it.

Robert's interest in research and selfless sharing of information make him one of our best resources. One of those good people to know that allow me to know less.

I'm stealing that one Bryan. Perfectly said about him, and a few others I know in this industry.

It is nice quality wool with good color and weight.
We also got some from his overstock sale last time we were there.

What does $12 worth of designer wool look like volume wise?

 

[Papa John]

Robert Mann is an amazing story of someone given a small opportunity and taking it to the "stratosphere."
and he is a very humble and nice human being.

 

[Mikey P]

Ooh way cool, Robert's going to send me some wool to check out.


I'll see if I still have my God's Eye making skills from the third grade

I dropped of an expensive wool rug at D.A Burns today. I got the stink out and made it look better but I know when to quit and let the pros do there magic.

 

[Ron K]

Anonymity!

 

[The Great Oz]

I took a look at the rug today Scott.

It's a Chobi, made in India, and has been "antiqued washed." Most of that added color has been lost to use and cleaning and now what remains looks a little like soiled areas, but it's supposed to look that way. You'll notice the originally white fringe also has dye in it.

It is nice and clean.
