      @DougNg:

      @Giles , what tool are you guys using to get the paracord through? I have a couple of really old sweatshirts that I refuse to let go and I'd like to put new drawstrings into since the washer/dryer ate them.

      You could try the coat hanger method. Straighten a coat hanger, tape the paracord to the end and feed it through your sweatshirt.

        You are more than welcome to send it in and we will pop a paracord drawstring in there for you, you'll just need to take care of shipping or have it shipped back to you with an order that qualifies for free shipping.

        And of course, we can send you a bit of paracord with your next order, you'll just need to source a tool to pull it through the waistband.

        Thanks, I’ll try that. I’m gonna pick up some shirts when the new collection drops. I’ll add a request to the notes.

          @DougNg This is not what we use, but could be the better option for a sweater

            You can doing using the old phalanges if it is only one or two. One of those jobs where it takes a while to learn the correct combination of manipulations but when you do it goes quick. I'd add that on a sweatshirt you'd be fine, but on a whipcord N-1 it probably won't work.

              @DougNg  I just had a look through online to try and find the tool that we use but for the life of me, I cannot find them.

              Here is what they look like:

              They come in different sizes so depending on what time of paracord you are trying to run you may need a few different sizes. I will keep an eye out for them and let you know if I come across them again but you probably stand as much chance as I do in finding them.

                        Shortest? Getting you some booty shorts?

                        All joking aside, I think you desígnate the inseam man. They’ll chicken leg whatever pants you want into shorts. For the 814 you’d need to take into account the side too pockets and loop. Otherwise, do whatever you want for length!

                          I want to wear these with my assless chaps.

                          Allow me To Clarify the 814 are painters pants and they have the side brush pocket. I was wondering where that fell and what would the inseam length  be there? Can we go shorter or will it look bad. I am not if
                          Long leg so I’ll need like an 11” inseam

                          Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  I’m thinking of throwing my SExIH od type III in the wash but i’m not sure what the protocol is for jackets. Do I turn it inside out like jeans, or leave it as is?

                                    I’d turn it inside out if it was me, but only as a precaution. It probably isn’t necessary with OD’ed denim.

                                            Has something changed radically in relationships between men and women during this crisis? Surely you mean, “Should I continue the pretence that I have some say in what my wife does with her hair”?
