Question about my Expo

Post by IndianaCollins »

I've had an goat G&B (formally FS) Expo for 2 or 3 months now. I love it. The only thing. On my wested, I tuck the pull tabs back into the D-rings. Can I do this on my Expo? It has slider buckles.

I'd be very surprised if you could. There's not enough room on my chrome tanned goatskin Expo to do such a thing. Just to be nosey, why do you want to do that anyway? Regards. Michaelson

Yeah that's what I do with my Expo, if I am understanding what you are asking. Here is a picture of Lee's jacket. In fact Lee is so bothered by straps not being doubled back, he always adjusts the straps this way for everybody that passes by. The look is much better than the straps flapping out.

Actually, I placed the ones on my wested and doubled them back, so that they went into the action pleat, so they'd be out of the way.

Michaelson, I'm sorry, I had to run just a minute ago, and I didn't have a chance to clarify my message. What I wanted to do, is to keep my pull tabs from sticking straight out to the sides (as they are now), since I thinkm, with mine sticking as far out as they are, looks kinda dorky.

Thanks Sergei, I'm going to change that on my jacket right now.

This is serious business folks!
At last years QM summit, I was the victim of a hit and run strap doubling back attack! :shock:
Thank goodness I came out unscathed. (although I can't remember if it was Lee or Sergei who did it.)

I glad they didn't reach for mine. :shock: I don't mind my straps being 'au natural', with straps to the front. I adjust them as need be depending on what I'm wearing beneath the jacket. If they were locked down, I'd have to undo them post haste :? Regards. Michaelson

Don't worry I'll get ya on the next QM event, Michaelson. I'll just have Jess distract you, while I do the "doubling" back of the straps.

I can see me now, back in the cabin, gritting my teeth and trying to pull the straps back through the buckle. I'm sure Jess will be amused, but then at his age, ANYTHING amuses him anymore. :roll: :D :wink: Regards. Michaelson
