    Slayer6769 got a reaction from xAlpha in Tight boot problem   
    I just wanted to share with everyone a product I found. 
    I have a pair of real German knobelbeckers and the calves were uncomfortably snug, even with the adjustment strap completely unhooked. 
    The top of the foot was a little snug too. I found this shoe stretching spray on Amazon that had really good reviews. So I tried it. 
    You simply spray it on in the inside of the boot and wear the boots. I walked around the house for a couple hours and low a behold they were stretched out to to a very comfortable size. I couldn't buckle up the strap before and now I could get two holes. I'm going to do it again tomorrow with heavier socks to stretch them a bit more. 
    I will post a picture of the product I got on Amazon below. It was like $9 and something if your wondering the price.

    There isn't one but Rogue One configurations have been being used for L2/L3 approvals (as far as I can tell it is currently being treated as a variant instead of a separate thing).

    Warrant Officer CRL fixed for the beltboxes.  It should reflect on live after caching flushes.  Maybe a couple hours or less.

    Interesting. He has a black hat too. Do we see his trousers? I wonder if there is enough to make a new CRL.
    He seems to have a gray 451 tunic.

    I was actually surprised at how well it worked for me. I figured it would be "snake oil". But I figured for less than ten bucks, I'd give it a shot. I really like the boots I have and I needed to do something to make them comfortable to wear. I thought giving this a try before going to a cobbler. But it worked out great!

    The piping on the second cap is accurate, and desired. Unfortunately this is quite difficult and time consuming, so a number of the suppliers opt for the first method. It may also be true that the piping was a recent discovery with bluray and costumes based on caps from the archives.

    Oh, if you look on the eBay link you posted, scroll down. Look at the section at the bottom "more like this". There's a pair of deer skin leather gloves for $32 that would fit the bill. Not to mention that deer skin would be softer than cow hide.

    I'm not sure if you saw it or not, but these gloves your asking about in this eBay posting are a size 6. That's fairly small. I don't know your glove size, but I'm betting it's larger than a size 6. 
    Not to mention these are terribly expensive.

    Slayer6769 reacted to MyKill in Hat washing   
    Mine's custom made, and had to be double interfaced for strength (because of my melon head).  Mine can never be washed - it would be like machine washing a business suit (and the dry cleaner won't touch it).
    I give mine a damp cloth occasionally, to remove any marks, and a light febreezing every couple of troops for freshness.
     
    I guess it all depends on what your hat is made of - I would expect a commercial product to have laundry care tag sewn in somewhere.  Otherwise check with the person who made it for you.

    Remove the metal greeblie before washing, to make sure you have no rust issues.
     
    Be sure to use the most color-safe detergent you can find, because no one likes to see a faded hat.
     
    Otherwise, I wash mine normally.  If you snag it out of the dryer while it's still hot, and put it on your head, or on a hat form of some sort while it cools, you don't really need to iron it.
     
    That's been my experience with the Disney hats, at least.  Can't speak for all other fabrics.
