^ No.  I'll do 35's when I think justified.  Usually when a product has proved itself to be perennially popular.  But, hardly any of my retailers take 35 (I guess for inventory reasons0, so I have to be sure that I will shift a lot to get Tom to make up the pattern….

Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the forum, and I'm looking forward to some good conversation about great clothing.

In the vein of that, I want to ask a question that has been bugging me for some time:

Does anyone know anywhere reliable in London that will be able to do a good job of sewing on some good quality brace/suspender buttons to some IHxB01s? I also need the pocket bag repairing, so if somebody could so that job too?

Finally, does anyone know of some secret place in the UK to get hold of some drill trousers/khakis with brace/suspender buttons other that RRL, at a reasonable enough price?

Thanks in advance!

Are Danny and Junior doing more than repairs now? I was in there just the other day to say hi. I should have asked really.

[twin]

I wood think that Danny or Junior are able to do a good job of sewing the buttons on to the IHxBo1 jeans.
Send them and email and ask if they can do this for you.

Any boot-lovers who bicycle commute? Struggling to figure out how to stay in boots but I'm going to be biking in this summer… Boots on a bicycle kind of suck. I'm leaning towards bringing a large messenger with a change of clothes, but the commute is a flat 4.5 miles, so I don't really need a change of clothes until it gets hot, barely break a sweat.

FWIW, I bike commute (actually bike/train/bike) but choose to wear my 5.10 approach shoes for the cycling, and leave boots at work to change into. Of course, you can pedal your bike using whatever footwear you choose

[mclaincausey]

I actually thought of that, not a bad suggestion. I love my boots so much that it would be like leaving a child at work, but it might be the most practical solution. Perhaps on weekends I can shuttle them back home–thanks!

Maybe lower lace-up boots would do the trick I.E. something like White’s oxfords 2’’ or SD’s 5’’.

[mclaincausey]

Hehe sorry, I should have stipulated "with my current arsenal of boots."  Hikers, Engineers, Cowboys, Smokejumpers, in order of increasing pain on a bike.

In that case, maybe one of these :):

Anyone here have experience with john lobb boots? I'm seriously considering purchasing a pair of JL chelsea boots and am wondering how their sizing is.
