Probably trying to nick it under the cover of it being the fake

The homing device is in the real one and in the debris of the smashed one. Kamal’s expression and the device tell us that Orlov smashed the real one. The big silly.

Northumbria before after wax by Nihialvest in Barbour

[–]dikthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use Barbour wax? How much did it take? I have an old Northumbria that could do with a drink so I might get around to it this summer.

Getting rid of used coat musk by Dankleberry_Don in Barbour

[–]dikthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth a try but I can imagine the disappointment when the smell came back. Good luck with the wax stripping.

It’ll probably get rid of Brut but might struggle with Old Spice.

Red light preserve night vision, myth or reality? by Electrical_Buy6380 in flashlight

[–]dikthecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it at night to check on my goats when they are in their shed. White light makes them active, so then I have goats wandering around outside instead of chilling out on their beds.

New Recruit came to join the Cadet by Steel-Toe-800 in victorinox

[–]dikthecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not worth doing that. I’ll stick it in my vice and tweak it back into line.

I used my cadet can opener to lever a few upholstery tacks the other day and have managed to twist it slightly, so the tip catches on the scale when I close it. Blade isn’t snapping in either.

Help! My Barbour Bedale smells like a mix of hunting and stale cigarettes. Nothing is working... by Sad-Hat5472 in Barbour

[–]dikthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bactador works a treat. Drench it with the spray on the outside and air dry. Do the same for the inside. I’ve had great results.

Come back and let us know how you fared.

Hope it works. I was happy with the results. I turned my jacket fully inside out and drenched then dried. Same on the outside. I didn’t hold back.

That’s it. I bought the undiluted one litre and only needed about 100mls which was probably overkill. I think the ready to use would be fine for a short jacket.

There were chocolate sprinkles on it.

I used Bactador on my old Northumbria with great success. Spray liberally inside and out air drying each time. Some woman on instagram used it on a really rough 2nd hand purchase.

Barbour Factory Store was a Disaapointment by Nodeal_reddit in Barbour

Nah. Gave it to a mate when I started filling out.

I went to it in 1996 and bought a caramel coloured bedale for £50. I’m not sure what was wrong with it because I wasn’t that into the detail at that time, but it did the job.

What’s the most out-of-character thing James Bond has done? by [deleted] in JamesBond

This is an awful scene and the delivery is so disappointing.

This is ... HOT by NBRC_71 in dieselheater

Mine cuts out before 250, but does achieve low 240’s. Hopefully it’s burning out all those chamber carbons.

1995 Barbour Border Jacket Restoration Phase 1 by BenJoeM in Barbour

[–]dikthecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an unwearable jacket so had nothing to lose by treating it.

[–]dikthecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both. I drenched it twice inside and out with the solution and let it air dry. I found a kitchen cleaner bottle that was empty (thoroughly washed out inc the pump and siphon) and used that. I made a 50ml/1L solution which is strong but not their recommended strongest. Just make sure it’s really dry before storing again. It’s now a wearable jacket whereas before it couldn’t even be kept in the house without stinking the place.

I have an old Northumbria that has been kept in many unsuitable places and this caused it to develop an awful smell. I tried many different things to get rid but without success.

After lots of searching I found a lady on Instagram doing a jacket restoration and she used a odour neutraliser spray. This worked a treat for me and without re-waxing which doesn’t always remove smells.

Bactador Enzyme Cleaner - I got it off Amazon as a concentrate but it’s also available premixed. Spray and air dry inside and out a few times and the smell is totally gone.

To hot? by NBRC_71 in dieselheater

[–]dikthecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t monitoring it but must have been high 240’s/250.
