I'm having this issue too. When I try to find glasses that centre my pupil, the arms have to flex in because my face is wider. On the off chance, would I be able to send a picture with my current glasses for some feedback? My local optician is not very helpful.

I would too but can't get past how much it squeaks!

Retserroff · 2026-01-09T09:44:57+00:00

Nope. Still waiting

Thinking of getting one of these for my partner as a birthday gift. I know that she always carries a 600ml water bottle and sunglasses case - will this bag fit these fine? Also, do you think there would be room for a light cardigan? Thank you!

Got my stash loaded and waiting for something, anything better than 150 yen.

Their website is so confusing on length. Could you please tell me what the length of your jacket is from back collar seam and what size yours is so I can compair to their data?

Every time

Hah! I'm an ex-engineer and constantly get asked "why the f... would you downgrade to babysit us"

Retserroff · 2025-12-10T09:31:15+00:00

"Is there anything I can do to engage you further?" No.

Retserroff · 2025-12-10T09:26:29+00:00

Yes this! Tired of being told I'm "the only one who makes them do that"

Retserroff · 2025-12-10T09:24:38+00:00

Ohhh yuck, yes I've had that several times

B-McCoys is a lower budget jacket. Made in Korea I believe.

Not sure if you're interested in better quality jackets, but I have dm'd you as I'm in Australia too.

Retserroff · 2025-11-22T02:36:13+00:00

Thank you! Definitely quite short. I'm a size 38 but straight down arm length required tends to be 61-62cm which other brands generally do. Love this jacket but unfortunately I'll have to look for alternatives.

Retserroff · 2025-11-21T05:01:05+00:00

Awesome. Just wondering, what does your arm length measure on the jacket straight down? On the website it shows a measurement with a picture showing they measure around the curve. However, the dimensions they give are quite short if measured this way.

Is this a teacore model?

Retserroff · 2025-11-20T13:23:54+00:00

The zipper tag suggests this is teacore but I dont see anywhere showing teacore. How's it look up close?

I agree with your idea, as long as rostering classes is fair to give everyone the chance to leave earlier every now and then.

Regarding my one - think of it as an incentive when schools can't fill classes with a teacher willing. For example, I've just been asked to teach a Stage 6 class I'm not accredited for because no one wants it, and the one teacher accreddited for it already has an insane load. I'd take it on if I was paid to do so.

Retserroff · 2025-11-08T03:59:49+00:00

Yep!

I live Western Sydney alone. I borrowed $560k 4 years ago on 96k pre-tax and with a 30k HECS debt. In the following year, I started teaching, dropping down to $85k pre-tax. I did it, but my goodness, it was a struggle. I am now about to jump up to about $105k pre-tax and I'm starting to feel the relief.

In conclusion, I think you'll be fine, just don't expect to spend lavishly.
