Small questions thread

[MonaDahl]

wondering if someone could help me with a quick id - I'm trying to track down a margiela coat and I don't know what season it's from. Long, single breasted, with a sort of 3-d detail on the lapel and pockets - hard to describe but the lapels were made of three pieces - the front, the side piece which was the depth of the 3d lapel, and the back.

Lost my keys last night. I've been using the same keychain since my first set of keys lord knows how many years ago, but I obviously need something new. What do you guys use for your keys?

Pockets.

i've actually purchased a couple of key fobs from this seller on ebay--got one of the small black peanut style ones for my bag and a slightly smaller antiqued brass clip for fastening my keys to my belt loop (pretty small, some belt loops may be too wide to but my drkshdw, apc, a77, etc. fit nicely)

^^ That CDG looks amazing! If you're not getting it, can you direct me to the listing/seller?

hello!

i also have a similiar question regarding warmness of a certain jacket/coat.
does anybody have any experience with the infinity jacket by damir doma?
basically this design:

in 100% wool. will it be warm enough for winter with some layering? im talking about a cold german winter. would be grateful of any suggestions and inputs.

[thomcat]

yeah actually looking at it that way i dont think i will survive a strong gust in it though the version depicted in the pic is made of linen. thought that maybe wool will be thicker ;)

[thomcat]

no worries. though your cdg does look thick enough but i wonder if the material is suitable for winter?

anyone have any idea how to make a ring fit smaller. obviously its more irregular and any standard premade spacers are out of the question

i've already added a duct tape layer which lasts for like 2 weeks and then i have to tape in more again... haha

I'm thinking about added like a silicone sealant that they use for plumbing but not sure if thatll stick to silver.
only needs to fit 1/2 size smaller

^ take it to a professional jeweler?? :p

They scratched they heads.
I could get it cut and soldered but for half a size the scar isn't worth it

[cowsareforeating]

well, jewelers should have some adequate "ring guards" or "ring sizers" as well (made of metal or made of silicon, rubber, don't know). i just googled it, and got this link.

those only work mainly for conventional rings and not the bands popular here (werkstatt etc.) thanks for your efforts though

Can anyone tell me if there is much of a difference between the CCP Tornado Zip boot and Side Zip boot. I always assumed that it was only the zip that differed but now I am questioning myself. What about the total height or width of the shaft?

Any info on how warm this Lars wool is and if is worth getting ? Never handled before...

Ask a jeweller to solder three tiny drops of metal around the inner circumference of the ring (or do it yourself) 3 little dots on the inner part of the ring should sufficiently reduce the sz by half.

Usually his wool pieces are quite substantial and comfy.

If you were forced to acquire a bowtie, from where would you acquire it? (no, this is not in jest)
