    Question with somewhat relation to the Ramie topic going on - anyone know of any fabric store that stocks good Ramie? Online International / Brick & Mortar Melbourne would be great

        Hi guys, been a while. I need to get some vibram soles put on a pair of ccp boots. I haven't needed to do this in a few years and didn't have a great experience the last time I did.

        Is The Firm near Union Square here in NYC still the place to go for this or are there other better cobblers out there now?

        Thank you. Feel free to PM if you'd rather not post the info publicly.

          Absolutely still the spot, as far as I'm aware. About to drop off a few pairs myself.

            Hi guys, I suppose they're probably made in house but does anyone know who makes Harnden's braces (suspenders) or anywhere I can get similar ones, Thanks.

                Quick (and maybe stupid) question: how do I roll up my jeans to achieve the BBS look?

                I have a pair of lightweight P13 but I don't like the way they stack at the bottom so I'm trying to go for the roll up style but doing it the "normal" way, it just doesn't look right. And I can't seem to figure it out just by looking at pictures...

                  maybe that's what those weird stirrup things at the hems are for? never quite worked out what their purpose was..

                    Before ss17 he just does the classic pin-roll, try searching "pin roll jeans" on YouTube.

                    From ss17 onwards all of his jeans have added the inner ankle bands like the 11 line from earlier on, which makes it much easier - my fingers do hurt so much every time I do the p13 pin-roll cause I have to get it as tight as I can. In your picture he's wearing the ankle band ones which is actually visible if you look closer.

                      Thanks dji and 13we2! The pin roll is actually what I was looking for. How did I not know that? I just tried it and it works perfectly - fell in love with my P13's all over again!

                      But I do need to try the newer ones with the ankle band asap

                        I replaced most of mine for ankle band ones, its just too critical to have the best possible fit I want, shame it was not adopted earlier.

                          Could you post a picture of how it looks in real life? I can't really imagine

                            Does the Boris OUTDOOR JACKET 1 fit small or true to size? Trying to figure out if I should get a 50 if I'm typically a 48.

                              I tried the size L from last year and it was too tight. I‘m usually an XL in BBS. So I would say tts (at least in my case)

                                If you mean the taped parka, TTS. I took a Small, and I'm a 48.
