As I haven’t had a N1 before I’m comparing measurements to a type 3. The P2P on this seems much bigger (59.6cm for a M compared to 52 cm for my L type 3)
I take it that’s due to the cut / style of the N1 and it should have much more room in chest?

(Edit to say from studying the model photos for both products I think that this was a stupid question and the N1 is a lot less fitted!)

@Cymro right down to the leather bag. Cool!

@harleylawhorn yes, had mine hemmed, it does give a little ‘pop’ of colour to them, you’re right

@Bridger said in Our Cars (dream or actual):

I didn't see the owner of either car @Tago-Mago

They were both in London, so wondering if the Porsche was driven over from Kuwait. With that wing I don't think any route would be a problem.

Would the GT3 RS be part of the plethora of supercars shipped over from the Middle East just to be driven around central London in totally obnoxious manner?

@AdamJ said in Random Rants:

@Cymro @NickD never really thought about it but now you mention it... I'm not having that! I wonder! if it makes it easier for your belt?

I can confirm that after extensive testing this evening, angled belt loops were no different than standard for the ease of belt fitting.

@NickD Hiut have two of the belt loops on the hips angled,

@endo And built so bits can be replaced / repaired not be obsolete once one component fails

@Alex thank you

Just had to buy a new washing machine. New one offers cooler wash options and gentle cycle but shortest wash on these options are at least an hour.
Also has option of a shorter cycle (30 or 15 min) with cool wash options but not a ‘gentle’ wash.
So question is gently but long or short but slightly more vigorous (for the wash that is, as I realise that leaves the doors wide open for double entendres!)

@GuyForget snap!

@Disgrace said in Crown Northampton - Dress Sneakers:

@Cymro Nice choice. How are they for size vs. what you would normally take for sneakers? Apparently, they run narrow.

I used their online measuring system / calculator to work out the size. This came with a 9.5 Wide.
I do have wide feet and will say that I’m happy with the fit.
Don’t really have other pairs of sneakers to compare , but I have a pair of Viberg service boots in 9.5, RM Williams at 9 Wide or 9.5 Standard

Inspired by (or copying!) @Marc2706’s fit pic way back, ordered a pair of Adnitt GAT, ordered at end of April and delivered last Wednesday.
On first wear, very light and comfortable, can imagine will be excellent after a few wears when moulded to my feet.
Only slight concern is the ’step’ on the heel and how that will be worn when driving.
