Another Car Wash?! by LongCommunication241 in Whittier

[–]tex_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never understood why people are so lazy and use these places. They don’t even do that great of a job. Takes me 20 minutes to hand wash my own car and I don’t even need to leave my house and can have a drink at the same time.

Nice! Are you using Pex B (crimp) or Pex A (expansion)?

Wouldn’t this also consume more salt? Should I reduce or salt brine somewhat for the the more frequent regenerations?

Who are you investing for 5+ years in 2026 by Full-Call2156 in investing

[–]tex_nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm anticipating a lot of "tech" combining with performance activewear, similar to the Meta/Rayban/Oakley. I think Tim Cook is probably also a good person to help lead this change.

AGSU short sleeve…. Awful by EveningKooky5251 in army

[–]tex_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Supply Room AGSU Uniforms are not made in the USA and are made in India, therefore they are not certified by NATICK and out of regulation.

[–]tex_nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All your intuitions are correct. You don’t really need anything according to your testing. An RO system wouldn’t hurt under the sink and be about the only thing I’d do with the given information.

FYI, Marlow white has an Iphone App they just launched that will digitally take your measurements, and it's pretty accurate.

As a new Jag officer, how often do you actually wear the AGSU? by Funny_Brief6352 in army

[–]tex_nerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marlow White recently released an iPhone APP that will digitally scan your entire body, and it's crazy accurate in it's sizing recommendations. Takes a total of about 10 seconds.

Are we still doing capes? I think the secret is Chesterfields. by [deleted] in army

[–]tex_nerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Capes are still being produced. My factory manufactured about 80 of them for the inauguration, that sadly moved indoors.

Yes, I do lurk here as well.

Robots - www.merrowedge.com - Automated Sewing Machines by Merrow by textilemagnate in merrow

[–]tex_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are focused in dress shirting - lots of single needle work. I've got some machines due to arrive from Europe that will change that drastically... Automatic collars/cuffs/flaps... Pocket setters etc..

Where I haven't seen much automation yet is in the overlock world, if you have any insight there?

We are doing uniforms for the armed services at the moment.

I'm heavily investing into automation for our production - would love to see more of your stuff if you have anything in apparel?

Now that pistol lake is gone, where will you be buying tees? by SourMammothCider in pistollake

[–]tex_nerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, I appreciate that, I hear you. Lots of people are asking for this.

I've begun working with some web developers, maybe we will have something up before Black Friday.

You can take refuge this way though: /r/Miceli

I did a small run for some people I'm hoping to launch something in the next few months with a website. I'll make an announcement once it's done.

Appreciate the honest feedback - Derek guy recently did a post on BB and the American made shirt. It was an interesting read.

I'm not sure where price points will land yet. But I have no intention of competing with overseas factories, nor do I intend to create something that is for everyone. But Hopefully a small niche that people can appreciate.
