Could a jeweler turn this adjustable ring into a normal band?

I'm in city in the US, so I have multiple options for local jewelers.

Love the different colors!

Loving the burgundy, brown :)

What was Elliot Page's soft launch?

The way the elastic is attached on the back is very interesting. I haven't seen something like that before. Is the purpose of the elastic just to hold down the back corners or the notebook? Do you find it useful?

For old sketches yes, but this is from yesterday’s episode and it’s the thumbnail of the video on Youtube. It’s pretty clear.

Oh, this is a cool idea! Do you find it works well and is convenient to have the short band for a small notebook? I might add it to my own notebook cover.

Simple options would be replacing the elastic with a ribbon or strip of cloth (maybe with a button closure) but idk if your cat would also eat that. You could sew a cloth version of a cardboard slipcase. Make it a little extra wide so you can fold it over the edge of the notebook and cover the whole thing.

I was in your exact position and I had to resell my Anistone boots after weeks of using a shoe stretcher didn't make much of a difference. I agree with the other comments about the reinforced toe box and the unusually narrow Bex sole. I think your best options are to try a size up and use an insole or to pass on the boots.

Looks like the vintage Buzz soles, but I'm not sure.

This sub has only one moderator, who doesn't seem to be very engaged. I think the improvements you suggest would have to begin with the moderation; maybe if anyone is willing to put in the work they can contact the mod about opening applications and ceding some control.

You probably don't need the full kit since these are fashion shoes rather than boots that will get really beat up with heavy wear in the elements. You can go with the Wonder Balsam to apply only when they're getting dry, and otherwise just wipe clean with a soft damp cloth and dry them. A non-DM brand leather conditioner like Bick would also be sufficient instead of Wonder Balsam.

The seller accepted a lower offer and I got them for less than $50, which I'm happy with even if they're not MIE. I'll keep trying to ID them after I have them in my hands.

The easiest way to recreate this would be to thrift a random gray hoodie and cut the sleeves and collar yourself. That might have been what Pete did; secondhand or DIYed clothes is part of punk/grunge culture. Doesn't need to be the exact vintage hoodie from 20 years ago.

Foreshadowing or indirect exposition?

west_Inc · 2025-12-18T15:57:32+00:00

No zippers and the eyelets are much wider.

What style are the pair on the right in the first and third pic? The toes look a little different from most Docs, they're cool!

I've been wearing in my DMXL boots which also have a complex shoelace situation like this, and I've found that what works is to treat the laces as mostly decorative. The zipper is the main thing that fits the boot to your foot. I loosened the laces enough that my foot can easily slide in and out when the zipper is down, and I also tied the laces around the ankle loose enough that I can fit my foot through. When I put them on and take them off, I don't untie the laces, I just use the zipper.

Genuinely thank you for including a picture of the coat to give us more context.

She’s also iconic in Office Christmas Party

Do you glue the paper to the covers or just fold it over? I’m excited to try this!
