Would extra small work for girl who only 1.58 m tall?
I remember reading time ago about x-small and ladies sizes, but can’t remember is it item specific or work on all tops and jackets

Possibly, can you get me some measurements of a shirt that fits said girl well….

that a problem. I don't have access to her shirts and I don't want to ask because want make a present

Yeah make sense, totally my fault.  Saw stock reduced from 10 pairs to 4 in one day and pull the trigger without thinking.
Just receied new 666s i’m at work and can’t try them on. No stacks for me this time, but length looks ok’ ish.
Many thanks Giles/Paula super fast delivery as usual.

fingers crossed…

666s . i guess i'm in line for darwin award. delivery is tomorrow i will not sleep tonight

question about hemming:
if Hemming on the Union Special ordered when you buy new jeans it's done to exact specifications what you chose in drop menu on order page? or shrinking process considered and couple inches added? i.e. ordered 32 hemmed to 35 inseam. i just realised that i should ask Giles before ordering, i'm such an idiot 

@Giles:

One of my customers had a problem with his 634SR, so Haraki graciously agreed to overdye them.  They were overdyed with the patch still on, this is what happend in the overdying process (we did of course sew a new patch on)….....

.
I'm still hope for new patch too…. 

Since we talking about bicycles, here is my commuter 

In my experience soak doesn’t help that much. They will stretch back as it was in week or less.
But I don’t wear belt

@Giles:

I asked him and he has no 634SR left.  Will a 634S do instead?

Oh yes please, I don’t mind.

I hate to sound like Bertoni and gbougard mothers, but could I remind you ask Haraki-san if he got any spare patch please G.

@michaeljcr:

I did get the Spyderco UKPK knife a few months ago, but I can't bring myself to carry it around in the UK, even though it's legal.  I can't imagine any situation over here where, if stopped by a police officer, they wouldn't arrest you for carrying it, or at least confiscate, even though they shouldn't.

For same reason my UKPK don’t see much use is well. I’m not really worry about being stopped on street (as it never happened before) but random mobile knives arches in underground and train stations in London really hard to avoid.

Spyderco UKPK http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=325
discontinued in 2011. No information atm - dropped all together or for a newer model.

Yeah I know I’m bloody stupid. Wanted maximum shrinkage but guess they will stretch where they was anyway. I remember now one of Giles customers had same problem by accidentally getting his SR in to tumble dryer. Patch is hard as wood and lost ¼ of size, don’t think any oil will help.

I’ve just ruin patch on my 634sr.
Lost quite a bit of weight since I bought them so decided give them hot soak.
Four boiling hot kettles and result – patch shrank and hard as crispy bacon.
Balls balls balls.
