@TrickHell:

I need a good umbrella. Please advise.

Against wind, rain, or both?

What's the difference between a beanie and a watch cap?

I think that a beanie is a more encompassing term for a knit cap. I see a watchcap specifically as a military styled beanie with a turn up like the Papa Nui Convoy.

So beanie = umbrella term, watch-cap = specific version of beanie? I can live with that…

That's gonna help a lot when I show it to my teen and pre-teen sons who insist on wearing theirs on top of their heads even in -10C

@TrickHell:

The zipper on the coin part of my wallet is stuck. Wat do?

Anything snagged in it?

Try teflon grease or candle wax?

[Anesthetist]

Ugh, that sucks. It won't budge even a little bit? And nothing is jammed in the mechanism as you can see?

[DougNg]

Are any of the teeth loose or out of alignment?

The other possibility if nothing is jammed in there is that one of the teeth got deformed

@TrickHell:

Nothing I can see. It's jammed open. I can sometimes (very infrequently) get it to close with a ton of effort. But then I open it and I'm back where I started.

Perhaps the teeth are not in the right order.
Try this:
Pull the zipper as much down as you can.
Then pull at one side of the teeth.
If you can´t hear a snapping sound;
try out on the other side.
If it won´t work out …..??? @TrickHell

I know the yardage varies per run. But, how wide is a bolt or roll of typical IH denim, before it gets cut up and such?

[Giles]

Selvedge is 30" wide and 50 yards long…

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Cool. Thanks Giles.

I suspect that's the issue. If so… anything that can be done?

Pliers and dental picks to undo the zipper, but it'll get stuck again if you try to zip it. That zipper is toast if the teeth are loose or deformed

Looks right to me. Trim and the shoulders look good. I bet it's really warm.
