Aha, badly cut. Weird actually, you kind of would have thought soldiers would like kneeling. Makes me smug in my persuasion that fit is at best an afterthought in todays clothing design. Maybe helikon have worse cut than the genuine article? Or are they not the same? I thought helikon were an...

Quite the opposite. Stronger thread and the cloth might break. A softer seam (e.g. a chainstitch) and you would gain flexibility. They should have used another seam type or have better control over quality.

Hamon paris has Nogent. But you can find it a lot cheaper on ebay.fr. The golden search term is Ciseaux Tailleur (tailors shears). This is a really good price for the size and the fact that they're new...

Hi. As a proffessional I can whole heartedly recommend whitely. The wilkonson shears (not scissors!) are among the best there is. Wilkonson shears are not the same brand as wilkinson sword. Very important! The difference between shears and scissors is that the sharp edges is offset from the...

It's svenska wip AB. Swedish profile and athletic club clothing.

Dito. He would give up after a few tries. It's not that he's stupid, just not that into food.

Thank you.

Nah, it actually does both. Ask any horse girl. As for smell, a tip I got from a waitress back in the day when you were allowed to smoke inside clubs and pubs was to use a hair dryer. Work on clothes at least.

This thread is so weird and interesting. Tip of the hat to you firecrest!

Looks like a good pack. I like the things you have done to modernize it.

Apperently that wasn't your opinion before.

Funny though, as the US, UK and other developed countries does not simply dump sewage waste in to the ocean according to some people here. Oh, might they be wrong? Could it be that some micrparticles escape sewage filtration? Gee whiz

I always scream on the inside when somebody uses "security" as a reason to limit someones freedom and integrity. (Statistically, how many crimes have been committed using forests axes in the past 10 years, and how many of the suspects travelled by train? With their criminal weapons in plain...

Do you have a huge budget surplus? If so you are lucky, because Klättermusen Rimfaxe might be a candidate: At a mere €551 it's a real bargain. But it is made from eta-proof (which is a identical to ventile, even made with a license from ventile). At €451, the klättermusen Einride...

The overall best anorak for me has been Norröna Svalbard anorakk. But an older generation than what is for sale today. The cut is superb but still roomy. The details are just perfect. It is made from a cotton drill heavier than 7 oz though. Still works wonderfully. I will see if I can show it...

I have quite a few different anoraks. From different makers and for different conditions. But I would not cut it the way you have cut it. I understand the thought that you want as few seams as possible, but in reality, a flat felled seam is virtually as windproof as the fabric. The problem with...

Will be spending august to december in Yorkshire, around Leeds. Are there any possibilities of hiking or so around there? I know nought of the area. I have some friends in Sheffield and a few in Edinburgh. Is it better to travel to do a weekend in the wild? Also if anybody has a spare room to...

Hehe, yeah they're good, Acorn, aren't they? I would not use the bahamas collection on a bush shirt for a number of reasons. Mostly because the 'bamboo' fibre is really just a rayon/viscose fibre. Which has terrible wear properties. Maybe for lounging by the pool, not for the bush.

I know you did'nt say cotton, just wanted to mention it, because non-iron shirts are often treated cotton.

Hate to be that guy, but non-iron cotton shirts contain a lot of nasty chemicals. You can increase creasing resistance by adding synthetic fibre. Which incidentally also reduces drying time, and wear resistance. I'm with you on the covered buttons, or more correctly hidden buttoning. Or fly...
