      You guys are reminding me of this old joke…This guy has terrible migraines,that he can’t get rid of. He’s really depressed. His wife says go buy a new suit,that’ll cheer you up. He passes by a tailor with a sign in the window that says. I’ll guess your suit size or the suit’s free. The guy walks in...The the tailor says 44 jacket 36 pants. The guy says you got it. The tailor says I’ll give you another chance,I’ll guess your underwear size. OK the guy size and the tailor guesses 34?... The guy says no it’s 30...To which the tailor replies...Wait for it...You must get awful migraines!

        Some deck jackets have a draw string and some don’t. Is it a model year thing? It seems the ones that do not still have the grommet.

          They all have grommets, the drawstring is an option.

                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.

                  What are retailers offer or don't offer is not something that we can control…

                    @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.

                          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.

                              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.

                                        What is the shortest inseam length that can be achieved with the 814 indigo? I want to chicken leg some pants

                                        Maybe so. Maybe not

                                          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!
