Patch time!

Patch time!

I'm not patching a 900 dollar suit.

But i am considering setting the whole ******* house on fire and starting over.

We saved taxpayers $900/person/day for a 12-person team to come out for 6 months to dismantle it for the DRMO shredders. That's $64,000 it would have cost to dismantle a plane being turned into scrap.

Pallet of C-4 and we were done in half a day.

The pilot forgot how to land properly and DESTROYED the gear. It was a Herc, so it was about 15-20 years past its original service life anyway.

We gave it an epic send-off. We should all be so lucky.

If it was the Herc that landed fast and ran off the runway at Shank, it was a J model, and only 9 years old. (<semper-sadface>

(Pic was still cool)

It wasn't.

It should be an easy fix for a competent tailor or alteration shop. Or set the house on fire, your call.

Agreed. They could hide the repair pretty well.

ABC Apologizes for Showing Video From U.S. Gun Range in Report on Syria (Published 2019)

The video appeared in a report on Turkish attacks in northern Syria. ABC News did not specify how the error had occurred.

www.nytimes.com

Despite their back-pedaling and claims they didn't know, it's quite obvious the footage was cropped and darkened to make the people standing there with their phones recording it as minimized as possible. It was 100% deliberate completely fabricated BS to push whatever narrative they're paid to push this week.

I am....unenthused by America's media outlets.

All of them.

They all suck. They're all trying to manipulate the population. One way or another, they're *ALL* doing it.

I will spare you all the rant I had just composed and leave it at, the comments above are so very true.

 

[DoubleOldFashioned]

It wasn't.

I could prolly play 20 questions, and figure out which one, as I’ve read all of the USAF and USN Safety Center’s C-130 mishap reports on pre-2013 crashes back when I used to fly one.

That being said: that hole in your suit is ducking frustrating.

Thx,
First two. The third is Park Avenue, fourth is Greson, this is what I was expecting. View attachment 1270219 View attachment 1270222 View attachment 1270224 View attachment 1270225

I agree with all the assessments offered but will say the trim line looks uneven. Or is it just the camera angle?

Had the same thing happen to one of my suits recently. I payed a lot less for mine, but still feels bad, man.

I was at Leatherneck.

Not with the prominent placement.

I give up. Epic B/S thread for AEs coming soon.

Yes, but was how was the cigar?

Seriously though, as @audog said, just search "reweaving" in your area and check the reviews. Not sure exactly where you are but recall there is one in Richmond, and which is also listed below. https://www.google.com/search?q=rew...oid-sprint-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

Take it to a fabric reweaver.
