G… you are so right!
My wife gives me at least 10 minutes of boot lacing prep time before we head out the door.
She then rolls her eyes as she sits in the car, waiting for me.

The truth is... I'm becoming addicted to Aldens as I am with Iron Heart.
Something about Alden's quality, comfort and lifetime refurbishing/repair options.

I know, I know.  I find even the Indy's on the verge of too much hassle…G

Yeah let me know how all three of you like them. I might have to put my vintage one away and grab one of these. Beats, please bring your with you o SF so I can check it out. Thanks!

Blomus is really nice stuff.  I have a few things of theirs at home (very solid).  For most of my 'measuring' I prefer the flexible cloth-like tape measures though.  I got one of the Hoechstmass ones from my Mom (she used it for sowing).  Love it!

Those are nice too, but I only have one coin pocket on my jeans!

[Beatle]

Giles - not sure how you will feel about putting that into ur coin pocket…it´s about .5 inches too big for that. I have an old flexible one from a shoemaker that fits all the needs when traveling light - the Blomus feels like a stationary to me...perhaps sitting next to ur Union

I was going to say, it looks a little thick…

[deadendpro]

Nixage, I meant the tape measure!  G

[nixage]

I know G.  That's why I was saying you should go with the tiny little Picco (hoechstmass) because it should fit the coin pocket.

[Giles]

Ah, OK I clicked on the second link, but not the first - Duh!  Thanks, G

[nixage]

no worries. 

wish I could find a tiny one in stainless as well….
