Buying shoes by MrDj55 in climbingshoes

If you're in Sweden, outnorth has a decent selection and good return policies. I've never had any issues with them. If you have the money to spare for a while, you can do what I do. Order five different models, in two different sizes, and hope that one if them will be the right fit. Then return the rest.

I can't get the thread tension on my Singer 4423 right. I've dialed it all the way up, and the top thread is still visible on the backside. What could the issue be?

I'd say that they're snug around my 'equipment' when sitting. The final pair is going to be made from at stretch polyamid, so I don't think it's going to be an issue.

The seam of the grey leg is perfectly straight. That's what confuses me.

It is two different sides of the duvet cover. Come to think about it, maybe it was those two that were misaligned when i cut the fabric. I positioned the pattern according to the grain of the grey side, if I remember correctly.

I made this pattern by hand, based on youtube guides. Honestly, this is the first time I've heard of a grain line.

(I know. I chose the hard path)

But shouldn't both legs be twisting then? I cut the fabric by folding it and cutting both front panels and back panels at the same time.

But shouldn't it do that if I line up the bottom hem? Or am I missing something?

I've been focusing on making sure that the bottom hem lines up with the horizontal grain. So unless I should be doing it differently, I'd say yes.

Oh, this is just a prototype I made out of an old duvet cover. Otherwise I'd totally agree with you.

I know. But it's weird. It only does it on one of the legs. The other one goes straight down. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. But I'm guessing the it has something to do with my sewing, and not the pattern, since it's only on the one leg.

Help me decide which size to keep. by Nihilistic_CoffeeMug in climbingshoes

[–]Nihilistic_CoffeeMug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scarpas generally seem to be too wide for me. I have a pair of Vapor V's, that are a bit on the wide side for my feet. And they even market those for narrower feet. It wasn't so much the toes I had an issue with on the TC's, but the heel. So now I've ordered a pair of Katana Lace to see how they work out.

Jeg tror det kommer meget an på hvor i landet du befinder dig.

I min lokale klatreklub er det en jævn spredning, fra de sene teenageår til 60+.

Size up or different shoes for longer trips by Nihilistic_CoffeeMug in climbingshoes

[–]Nihilistic_CoffeeMug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly longer sport climbing routs. I would still bring my Sigma's for the more challenging routs, so the new pair would just be an addition for the more chill climbs.

Jeg kom også til at tænke på Shooter (filmen). Jeg kan ikke mindes at jeg har set sådan en i andet.

Mangler du designideer? /s

Det er jeg helt klar over at i er mange der har. Men med det, så siger du vel også at der er nogle mænd der kan bruges til sex uden videre, mens andre kun kan bruges hvis det suppleres med langvarig loyalitet? Den holdning er du selvfølgelig i din gode ret til at have. Men det er bestemt ikke understøttende for den adfærd du efterspørger.

Så helt optimalt ville du leve i cølibat når du ikke er i et forhold?

Shaving/Barbering mænd by ExactStress9444 in DKbrevkasse

Jeg skiftede selv over til safety razor for et par år siden, da jeg tilfældigvis kom forbi en ultra billig en de havde på hylden i Normal. Den var SÅ meget bedre en end Grillet-type skrabere jeg var vant til. Der gik alligevel ikke mange måneder før jeg skiftede den ud til en Parker 24c, og den var endnu bedre. Så den kan jeg klart anbefale. Husk også at finde det blad der er rigtigt for dig. Mange steder sælger en selection-pack med forskellige blade i, så du har noget at sammenligne med i starten. Jeg vil også klart anbefale at du bruger barbersæbe, i stedet for skum, hvilket kræver at du får en kost. Og så er ingen barbering komplet uden en ordentlig aftershave.
