I've got some carharrt wip stuff but that's more casual clothing and expensive That jacket felt really stiff when I tried it on,the funny thing is its in a construction clothing store called Marks that sells Carhartt,Timberland,Helly Hansen stuff that's fashionable in the UK but worn on building Sites over here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moocher71 4,403 Posted Friday at 09:48 Author Report Share Posted Friday at 09:48 Talking of clothes does anyone know where I can get a ridge line jacket fixed ? The zip is fcuked and I don't want to take it to any town street tailors that sell materials for curtains etc because they always f**k things up and I'd be really pissed and they wouldn't like what I'd probably say . Can you send them somewhere? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
