Ok. Could someone recommend a flannel or denim shirt w a 22” shoulder and ~26 PtP?

[mikebarhoot]

18.5 -19” neck.

@mikebarhoot those measurements sound like you might have to get a bespoke shirt.

The 18 oz 177 CPO comes in a 4x though. I'd ask them to check for a bigger one.

Thanks Mike!

So I have put on a few extra pounds. Does anyone know of a way to slide the top button over a bit? I tried stretching them out a bit, but they are maxed out as far as stretch goes.

[Giles]

We can do that, but then you do not have a straight line of buttons through the fly to the waist button….

Can I send in my overalls and get you to replace the bronze buttons?

I think so, will need to check the parts tomorrow. Would be like the buttons on the 101J

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

It's funny I always wished these overalls had the brass buttons. Because all the other hardware is brass. This would be so awesome if possible.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Just bought a black thermal so hopefully you can replace the buttons on my overalls and ship the thermal and the overalls back to me together.

[Giles]

It's technically possible and we do have the button parts, but I am not sure if we have had the die sets made for that button yet. @Alex I sent a lot of the dies back to the tool shop to be modified to fit the new foot presses (plus I asked for a couple more totally new die sets to be made up), so I don't think you will know for certain until they all come back….

[Alex]

Yup, we dont have the part here right now @Filthy25ozJunkie

[Giles]

We may have to get the die set made. We will know when all the other parts come back in a few days, if we do need to get it made it'll be another couple of weeks…..

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

That's okay. Thanks a lot.

Re: Watch Straps

I have a brass Maranez Talay (http://www.maranez.com/talay-o.php) that I absolutely love, but don't wear much because it's just not comfortable. I came with a thick, brown leather strap, and a hefty, black rubber strap as well. When I wear my watch, I like for it to not slide up and down my wrist, and just stay in place. It was never a problem with any of the purpose built watches I wore in the past (Field watches, during my Army time), but this seems to be different. When I tighten it to where it doesn't slide, it cuts off my circulation…. When I loosen it one notch (Probably less than a cm), it slides up and down my wrist.

Any suggestions? I was thinking a NATO strap... But, I don't know if it would make any difference.

the space between the holes (middle of the hole) on my Nato is 6.5mm…

@rocket:

the space between the holes (middle of the hole) on my Nato is 6.5mm…

I just measured on my watch strap…. It appears to be exactly 5mm when measured from the center of the holes.

So, it's a 5mm distance that is the difference between amputation, and dangly watch on my wrist, lol

[rocket]

Small things can make a big difference. I would prob would just try and wear it for a day, on the looser option and see. Might just be a thing of getting used to…
