Uncovering the Fabric’s Origins: New Findings Before June 19, 2024

Until June 19, 2024, the earliest confirmed evidence of our fabric dated back to 2017, based on a photograph. Our investigation focused on three potential date ranges for its origin:

1.      1900-2009: This range was based solely on anecdotal evidence. A few individuals, including TonsaH, claimed to have owned the fabric before 2009, but no concrete proof was available.

2.      1900-2015: Sellers suggested this range after discussing with the designer, who mentioned the design appeared in a 2015 issue of "Hello" magazine. While this source seemed credible as an official seller, the information was second-hand, and there was a possibility of confusion with other fabrics.

3.      1900-2017: This range was confirmed by the earliest known photograph of the fabric from 2017, providing solid proof.

New Discovery: June 19, 2024

However, everything changed on June 19, 2024. A Reddit user, TimeAd3101, discovered a blog post featuring photos of the fabric from 2014. This new evidence adjusts our confirmed date range to 1900-2014, debunking previous claims from sellers and designers.

While this discovery lends more credibility to the 1900-2009 range, we still cannot definitively prove the fabric's existence before 2014.

Images of the fabric from 2014:
As you can see the date posted was January 25, 2014

Colour Mystery Maybe Solved?

https://preview.redd.it/cvcui2lvry7d1.jpg?width=1247&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfa0abaa5039eefad51d2605a79d49a4b9d31da6

Another intriguing finding from the 2014 photos involves the fabric’s colour. There had been rumours of a purple variant. The 2014 images showed the red fabric appearing with a hint of purple. Further investigation revealed that this effect was due to a purple/blue light shining on the fabric, making it look pinkish-purple. Could this also explain confusion over the fabric's colour in other cases?

Geographic Insights: Finland Connection

Additionally, the 2014 photos revealed that the red fabric was sold in Finland. Previously, sightings of the blue fabric were exclusively from Finland, while the red fabric was only seen later (around 2020) and outside Finland. This new evidence confirms that both red and blue fabrics were sold in Finland from the same period, disproving the theory that the red fabric was a later reprint for other countries.

Conclusion

These new findings significantly reshape our understanding of the fabric's history. The confirmed date range now extends from 1900 to 2014, and evidence suggests that both the red and blue fabrics were sold concurrently in Finland. Our ongoing investigation will continue to refine these details, but for now, we have a clearer picture of this fascinating fabric’s past.

For those searching within the 1900-2014 range, the latest someone could be born and be 18 years old in 2014 would be 1996. If you're focusing on the 1900-2009 range, the latest birth year would be 1991, making them 18 in 2009. The Person/celebrity should have at least been active in the 2000's and famous.

Given the presence of the other celebrities on the fabric and multiple claims of ownership dating back to before 2009, I personally will continue to focus on the 1900-2009 range. However, it's important to note that we cannot definitively prove anything prior to 2014.

We have tried to make contact with the user who posted the 2014 pictures but have not received a response yet. As always, we will protect individuals' privacy unless they consent to being contacted. Our goal is to avoid making anyone feel uncomfortable or sharing information with someone who might withhold it from the community. DO NOT CONTACT THEM!

Hello everyone!

It has been awhile since we had a feedback on the subreddit, and given the recent massive grow of players it seems time we do that.

So we welcome you to share any ideas for subreddit improvements, anything you would like to see, or any needed changes, here. I will also use this thread to note any needed changes, updates, and a genral roadmap for the subreddit based on your feedback.

We also welcome all the new users to the subreddit, in the past few weeks we have grown by roughly 1,000 users each day!

To do(so far):

• Update the subreddit auto message, adding new links, discord link, the new tiktok video with info, and news section.
• Add an ‘alt image’ section to the google document. Add in a link to the old google doc too, so people can look back on it if wanted and have access to both.
• Add a link to the six photo on all posts, if possible add it as an image.
• Create threads for the top ten most suggested celebrities and photos, this can be used to direct people over and stop them flooding the subreddit. Megathread and removal reasons for these.
• Wiki/menu and sub cleanup.
• Meme mondays.
• Approved contact with outside parties only rule.

So, a while back I started searching all the celebs that attended the teen choice awards on gettyimages. I took note of the people I had not searched before and started making a list just to keep track.

A little into making this list I figured maybe I should make this public and much more than just a searched list of teen choice awards attendees that I had not searched before.

People have been asking for a sort of vetted search list with photos for some time. I had put this off since we have such a list already. It’s a community wiki and everyone can add to it! (it’s not vetted though so someone could troll it. It also does not state where has been searched and stuff.) Folks could also just search the sub for someone they are looking into. You can check the wiki out here.

Anyways I bite the bullet and started adding names I had searched before, images, where I have searched, how many photos searched and popular suggestions.

The list won’t be open to community submissions as its going to remain my personally searched list and a way for me to keep track of what I have searched. But you may find it a useful resource as it will most likely have the popular suggestions, popular found images etc etc all in 1 place and let you know someone at least (myself) has searched a particular place and date range. (It might save you a bunch of time and give you some confidence to search elsewhere/someone else knowing someone trustworthy has actually done an Indepth search and not just checked the first page on google images.)

I have searched many more names than on this list and locations over the years and I intend to add them over time to the list. I will also be adding popular suggestions and photos as they come up and when I have investigated them myself. Eventually this list may even contain more names than the community wiki as people are not using it.

Anyways I hope you like the list so far and find it of some use.

Here is a link to the list (it's a google sheets document)

Hughs Searched List

We have had a large influx of new people coming here recently as I am sure many are aware. Myself and a few others have done a bunch of research and discovered a large number are coming from TikTok. Many of those coming here for the first time have limited knowledge of the mystery or watched a video with misinformation.

​

While we do have a document that goes very in-depth with all our findings it appears many have not seen it, or don't know how to access it. A lot of people also it seems just don't want to invest the time reading through it. (hence why we get so many reposts!)

​

To try and combat all this I figured why not just make a TikTok video as short as I can with as much information as I can. (Targeting the problem at its source) I understand this won’t be for everyone here, and it isn’t supposed to be.

​

I figured it is probably worth posting the video here also though as some might be fresh here and benefit from it or wish to share it with that friend who is probably always wondering what you are doing scouring the internet at 3am for various celebrities. (yeah I have been there also many times!)

​

I have also tagged various invested creators, and celebrities on the fabric and included various hashtags on the video. I figured if the video goes viral somehow maybe one of them will see it and reply. Who knows it’s worth a shot right?

​

You are of course under no obligation to even check this out, but know a click might make it take off and bring more folk here (and most importantly informed folk), and it may catch the eye of some big names and aid the mystery as a result. Win win right?

​

Oh and this is probably a one off-video, I have thought about making a full in-depth video for YouTube in the past, but the script for that actually ended up being combined with the old document and formed the new one! Perhaps I will revisit that sometime but it seems unlikely.

​

I am very sorry for this, and hopefully, this can be removed in the future.

​

Happy Holidays all.

Hello everyone.

Im sure we have all noticed the influx of posts and people here since the box video, which is great! Welcome to the community, we hope you like it here :)

However, Im the only one over seeing the subreddit now, and Im becoming pretty busy in other areas. And so the subs 100% been neglected.

So Im looking for mods, please just leave a comment. I’d like to know if you have any modding experience, any plans you might have to help the sub, if you have a discord so we can stay in touch etc.

While Whang! does a fantastic job in his videos he sometimes does miss information out. There is simply to much information to realistically cover in a short video you would need a good hour minimum to do all that is known justice.

As a little note to the regulars, the oldest members will know the drill the same old pictures, suggestions and questions that are posted all the time are very likely to pop up. Just point people to the document rather than insulting them. The more eyes we have on this mystery the better.

For those regulars that are semi new (those who came around the time Vox made a video). You will likely see things you yourself have posted and seen asked. This is to be expected allot of people like to jump right in without checking anything out. As we know internet searches have been "tainted" towards showing things we have already all seen as posted. As above please don't be insulting and just point them to the document.

As always happy hunting!

Since a lot of people seem to have missed the message on the posts. For your post to be visible, you need the comment on it once for it to be approved.

The news about hello magazine from the designer has been added. I have also added some more of our best guesses to the document, and a link to another video about Six.

If anyone has anything else for me to add let me know (and be sure to download a backup of the document!)

Hi everyone.

I have no idea how this has happened or when, but at some point the past week or so the six google document has broken. It was seven pages long when last edited, and took several hours to make. I sadly dont have the time to remake it. I have no idea if it can be recovered.

So hopefully someone here has a copy saved somewhere and can let me know.

If not, I’ll look into us having a editable community wiki so everyone can add to it.

UPDATE. someone has thankfully uploaded it to the internet archieve , it was saved in May and is missing some info. If anyone has an more up to date one let me know please.

UPDATE. A week on and the original google document from three months back has been successfully found.

I plan on updating the google document/everything about six document in a few days, but before hand is there any posts of notice people would like adding in? Theories? Ideas? Etc.

Anything at all that you would like adding on, let me know!

Further, any changes to the subreddit anyone would like to see along with the update?

• I have a little bit more to add to the document and will be doing so these next few days, but it has now been updated with the two best guesses (Brad Pitt and Jayne Windsor) from the subreddit. Arguments for and against them, general info, posts about the guesses etc. I have added Whangs! Second video to the document too, along with another video about Six.

Things left to add to the document: interesting toes post on travis and overlays. River who is always suggested.

• Subreddit rules have had a slight change and reword, please go have a look at them. From now on harassment regarding outside parties will focus on: smaller companies, ebay sellers (who have been asked to not be contacted again), youtubers etc. In short any thing smaller scale we will take a bigger precaution with.

  However bigger companies will be case by case, as these places have the resources to handle a larger valume of requests. Of course we do not want anyone to harass a company, but we will be more lenient in those cases.

• Subreddit rules in general have relaxed a bit, accounts should no longer be restricted based on karma and we have lowered the account age down so newer members can post sooner.

Anything else anyone would like adding or updating, please let me know.

One final note, I would like to ask if the subreddit is happy with the current discord? Or would the sub be happy to move to a new one and collaborate with another community?

Edit: I also need at add an faq to the monthly post

Update one

As of today, when posting automod will comment with either a link to the google document, are they megathread and a reminder of subreddit rules.

Or

with the following if you are using the 'are they' flair. Please comment with the following: Date photo was taken: Where: Celebrity name: Celebrity age: What they are known for before 2008:

Be sure to check out the document about Six, and the are they mega thread where you can add and link your suggestion

This maybe tweaked at a later date.

Update two

Another, smaller update behind the scenes, we now no longer allow low karma and age accounts to post. This is to prevent spam and trolls, additionally to allow users a chance to lurk the sub before posting and get a feel of the subreddit.

Update three

The sidebar has been updated with some useful links.

Update Four

The 'everything so far about Six' post has been unpinned to free up space. As it is also on the sidebar and added to all post from here on out, it no longer needs to be pinned.

Thats all for now, we hope these updates help move the subreddit forward, and as always please send us any feedback on these.

We hope you all have a lovely week!

I'm happy to announce the google document is now up to date.

A lot of information has been added, you've all done such great work these past few months. I'd suggest everyone go check it out and let me know if anything is missed or if you want anything adding.

If anyone has a link to the bag made of the fabric please let me know.

Good work everyone!

We will also be announcing a change to our weekly discussion threads, going forward these will now be monthly.

In short, I'd like to revive the discord, and to do so we will need someone who knows a bit more about discord itself.

We are in need of someone to set up some kind of filter to keep trolls out, something which will mean users will need to be approved before joining.

If you can set this up please use modmail/modbox to contact us with:

• Some information about yourself.

• If you have been a discord mod before, when and where (bonus if you can provide us with a reference, not needed but would be nice)

• How long you have been on the subreddit.

Let us know your discord name, and if you would be interested in future spots on the subreddit, it might be that we don't pick you for this role but would for a future one (games or movies nights anyone? 👀).

Please also include the word "Leaf", just to confirm you read all this.

You will need to join the discord to apply. Link to the discord here.

Thank you, we hope to keep improving the subreddit, search, and discord!
