Exactly what I was looking for, thanks @FurattoHeddo

@Ndubya94 The Real McCoy's has a very good quality red chambray as well.

Thanks @BloodnThunder that was one I was considering as well but, I decided I wanted a more symmetrical and classic style pockets.

[BloodnThunder]

No worries.  Based on your response to Furatto I thought the pockets on the McCoys could be a deal breaker.

Hong Kong addresses don't have postal codes, right?..

Suicide rate among HK mailmen and couriers must be through the roof…

[rocket]

no idea, but I had a look on shippings I have made to HK and none at a ZIP, so…

[Seul]

Yeah HK fella sent me his addy - no zip… Was just wondering... Thanks.

I am not sure if this has been answered before but I will ask this here.
Why do certain IH pants (like IH-702, IH-711) have buttons? Wouldn't it be better if it had a metallic one like the one in jeans or IH-710?
Also, can one replace the buttons with tacks or metallic buttons (are they called tacks?) ? If so, who does it?
Thanks

I'm hoping someone more computer literate than I can help answer this question.  I'm thinking about pre-ordering the new 'Mad Max' game for PC and wanted to know whether I will be able to run it on my laptop.  I gather the system requirements are pretty demanding.  In particular, can anyone tell me whether my CPU is going to be an issue?  I've got an i7 processor but only 2.2 Ghz.

Specs. for my laptop and minimum + recommended game specs. listed below:

My laptop:

Processor: Intel Core i7-4702HQ Quad Core Processor with Hyper Threading 2.2GHz / 3.2GHz (Base/Turbo)Chipset
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M
Memory: 8GB
Storage: 256GB SSD

Game Minimum Requirements:

•CPU: Intel Core i5-650, 3.2 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 Ghz
•RAM: 6 GB
•Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660ti (2 GB Memory or higher) or AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2 GB Memory or higher)
•DirectX: DX11
•HDD: 32 GB available space

Game Recommended Requirements:

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-8350, 4.0 GHz
•RAM: 8 GB RAM
•Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (3 GB Memory or higher) or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (3 GB Memory or higher)
•DirectX: DX11
•HDD: 32 GB available space

Not played it so I don't know how demanding it actually is, but based on these specs I suspect you'll get away with it. What you're lacking in CPU you make up for in RAM and video processing.

Although in my experience I nearly always have to crank the advanced graphics functions down, in-game, on laptops.

Thanks.  I'd be interested in the views of other computer literate types if they would care to chime in?

You CPU will be fine, your graphics card will want to throw up like a teenager after 15 jägerbombs.

[Qinhan]

Funny.  So does this mean the game will be playable or not?

Your graphics card is significantly slower than the minimum requirement. It will probably start, but don't expect a satisfactory performance.

Has anyone used the Shoe Healer before for a resole job? Any comments are welcome.

Anyone got any recommendations for a decent hiking boot. Looking at Danner's but not sure if i am just buying into a name.

[BloodnThunder]

@spitfiredealer I think Diemme makes a pretty solid hiking boot.  I have personal experience with the Frye Rogan hikers.  Owned them for seven years.  I'm not sure they are quite as quality as Danners but they can take a real beating.  I've put them through hell and they still have life in them (resoled once).
