    Fake Shops

    So in clear words: avoid aaitab.com (it is MOST likely that it is a scam business). I found this shop in normal googel search results. I bet they will be gone in a few weeks and pop up again under a different name but with the same website matrix. I guess that many of these "shops" are run buy...

    Fake Shops

    Thanks mate for your words! They unfortunalety charged the money in the morning. I challenged it but the CC provider is stoic about it. There are many cases out there, where paypal is not helpful after failed purchases in a scam shop. The problem is, that these shops are operating like a...

    Some GOOD News!

    My wife was 27. It was the hardest time I can remember in our time together :) She talks about a PhD from time to time, but when she sees how the sweat pours out my skin and my hand starts shaking and my eye brows lifting she says: don't worry, sometimes I need to test my weapon systems to see...

    Some GOOD News!

    Congrats to your acceptance and above all to your decision! There is no age set for goals and some are better achieved later in life when the ship enters a harbor after riding the storms of the seas. Not a historian and as prehistorian not as close as one may think our professions and passions...

    I think this is a good way to overthink greed if this is the right word for it. Like a predator I launched myself on my supposed prey and was cheated.

    Fake Shops

    I have talked to the credit card provider. They say that they can't stop orderly transfers of money from their side. But the card is shut down now anyway and a new card with new data is ordered, so maybe the "seller" comes too late for drawing the money from the account. I don't know. There was...

    I don't know, what they can do with my data. They have my email adress, but my credit card is now disabled. They have my post adress but this is no secret. Can they do any harm?

    Fake Shops

    That was exact the site I found when it was too late! Good tip for prevention of future mistakes. But these fake shop websites change so quickly obviously. All they say about the site that fooled me is "maybe it is to new to have a good reputation. We give them the benefit of the doubt). I feel...

    Fake Shops

    To all you Loungers, today I stumbled into the trap of a fake shop. I can't name it here because I would be held accountable for my claim and would have to provide proves in a juristical sense. But just from the way, the order was processed and the mail I received and payment practise, and...

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    ...here is an 2017 article. At least it's in english. http://www.blaumann-jeanshosen.de/media/files/2017-02-PR-Blaumannjeanshosen-discover-germany.pdf Hmm, I see Blaumann hasn't yet found it's way to outside Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands. Give them one, two years and I believe...

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    They are sold in shops online over here. I am sure you will find some that ship overseas. But vats will be added and postage, so I guess not too cheap, then. You could drop them a mail. Most people here speak and understand english to some degree or at least have someone who can respond. If you...

    Let's talk about Deck Jackets (my grail has landed)

    I am lucky to have found a size which is both, looking good on me and wearable in a practical sense of words. I only wear thin layers under any jacket I own, mostly merino wool and synthetics. More freedom of movement and easier to adapt. None of my N1s are trim or snug, but neither are they...

    Me too. Blaumann is actually produced in Germany, click here. Good stuff. A google image search for "Blaumann Jeans" reveals how fantastic they are. Everything is done in Germany (quite a rich country) from german made materials (buttons, rivets, yarns, leather patch, the sewing and stitching)...

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    All of my Fjällräven clothes are produced in Vietnam. The quality is outstanding. I think, when there is a will, there will soon be a way. And when this will would be applied for Bangladesh as well, this country could be a much better place for the people living there. But this is at least at...

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    I can't translate the whole text of their homepage into english because of the time it would take and I am always limited, but in short, this german company, which stands for fair production and sustainable products from since the day it was founded, is not comparable to the usual cheap...

    It is quite astonishing btw that we already filled up a huge thread about this matter with only two handful of comrades here.. And it's good to have Blackadder on board as he is THE insider. Thumbs up!

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    Today I noticed, that the german environfriendly and sustainable brand "Hess Natur" started a partnership with a manufacturer in Bangladesh producing selvedge denim from local organic cotton dyed with local organic indigo. They say, they could find five old shuttle looms of japanese built in...

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    Yeah, I never liked that white "battle stripes" design on the rear pocket on their pants, either. I suspect they mainly wanted to attract primarily the japanese customers with the allusion to the Samurais of the Edo period. Their brand name was based on the popular folklore figure Momotaro...
