@ our singaporean stubbor crew members…

know anything about this brand?

http://sifr.myshopify.com/

I'm wondering about their material and construction – they look like they know their stuff with single needle shirting and what not.

yes, they're pretty well known in SE asia (esp.indonesia, singapore, malaysia). i think their quality is pretty good, utilizing egyptian cotton etc.

don´t know what you do in ur sleep - but I think chances of harming the shirt during day time wear would be bigger

Unless you become a werewolf at night, of course.

My hands are frikkin cold and its only 50 degrees outside.
What are some good lightweight gloves? Id prefer them without finger tips so i can still text on my cellphone…does anyone have any suggestions?

I just bought a pair of fingerless merino gloves from Banana Republic for $25-40% off. They're having sales lately, you might be able to snap a pair up on the cheap

@simon626:

Would sleeping in a flannel harm its shape or stretch it out as would happen if you slept in a tshirt?

Depends on how you sleep. I haven't had a good night of sleep in like…three years...and I roll around a lot. My tshirts are pretty stretched out after one or two wears at night

A wash will bring them back to size though

lol..that post made you sound like 90 years older than you are…
Just wear the flannel for one night and report back ...

why are we wearing a flannel to bed in the first place?

@simon626:

Have you ever tried a tempurpedic pillow doug?

Yeah, and it helps my neck problems, but my problems sleeping has more to do with all the crap that goes through my head when I'm trying to relax

The flannel shirt I had made for me by Backous is too big so I use it to sleep in - warm as fuck and don't wanna let a nice shirt go to waste…

But I've also slept in jeans the last year or so... So maybe I just have issues…

I have the same problem.  Only thing that has ever worked is Ambien.  I'd prefer not to be hooked on drugs, but consistently getting a good night's sleep is really, really nice.

[DougNg]

My sister is a doctor, and she's seen a LOT of adverse reactions to Ambien.

She's had patients with everything from night eating (raw meat) to violent episodes while sleepwalking (the latter was in the ER right in front of her)

I just don't want to take that chance

how much stretch/going away of pain can you expect from a pair of new boots. My new Yuketens pinch the crap out of the area right below my 2nd to last and littlest toe..

And its at the area where the leather joins the wool herringbone so i'm scared it won't "break in"

[Beatle]

might just be too small…I don't know - but I could not wear boots that are small enough to actually hurt or pinch in places..

[cowsareforeating]

yeah they're not small at all outside of that one problem area…

[D97x7]

I had the same problem with a pair of Ironrangers, fixed it with a blob of Vasaline on the inside where the pinch was, it softens the leather and soothes the sore toe.

How do you handwash the IHSH-08?.. Like - it needs a THOROUGH cleaning but I can't machinewash (y'all remember what happened last time)… I know the basics (duh), but any and all expert tips are welcome lads and lasses!.. 

[Splattered]

Nevermind it's being discussed in the new pipeline thread

[moykky]

Have I dreamed or is there a thread about Beatle Busters somewhere? I remember seeing comparison with 634's (measurements) and fit pictures but can't seem to find it. Even Google fails… :p

The OD version comes early 2011? Show me the way, please!
