Ok, I just got my Todds jacket two days ago and I love it. After I tightened the side straps (or whatever you call them???) though, the excess is a little long and sticks out at weird angles. So do I just leave it and after time, the straps will soften and just hang down? Or do I tuck them back under the flat buckle? I know this is basically an opinion question, but what do you guys think. Especially those of you who have this jacket and/or have experienced this problem.
Here's a picture so that you can see what I'm talking about. (sorry that it's a little blurry)
I've got a Wested, and I think my straps are shorter, but I the stick out problem also. What I did was take a bit of the excess black elastic from my grail diary and put a loop through with the buckles. It's a belt loop and it holds everything flat. Not screen accurate but it keeps everthing neat.
Let em' live man! A little extra strap is no problem. If it really bugs you you could cut them down an inch or two and stitch the edge back together but I would really recommend you leave them alone until you are sure you can't deal with them that long. Who knows? In the future you may develop a taste for Krispy Kreme and need to let the straps out a little. Let's hope that doesn't happen!
I say cut em' off and fry em' up with some vegetables, olive oil and some dry white wine. Sprinkel some freshly grated cheese on top when done and you're good to go. MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Strap problem solved.
I miss the Krispy Kreme shops that used to be in Phoenix. Unfortunately, and without warning, they all closed up shop and filed for bankruptcy over a year ago. Nobody else's glazed donuts come close.

They're back town for a few months now!!! Not nearly as many locations, but none the less they're back.
The only location I know of for sure is around Power Rd, but I am sure Phoenix has or will have more locations.
are you guys talking Kripy Kremes or Dunkin Donuts, which in my opinion DD is way better. They also closed all their shops in AZ except for one in Tucson and one on Gilbert Rd. & Southern.
DD, something that is not in UT. I miss them!
By the way, I like the reverse strap configuration. It IS cleaner looking.
