Very easy to do; unstitch or cut a slit in the surface fabric and slide in any insert you want and restitch. If you have the right kinds of foams or plastics lying around, you can totally mod any pant into sometihng resembling top-end protection and vice-versa.

Sorry to break the news, boss :( Read a couple of news articles about it and a marketing rep dropped by the store recently and he confirmed it.

Do you mean this : "What? The Steelheads are not keeping that colorway?" If so then, no, they are using the Leafs' template with a Port Credit lighthouse 'M' as a shoulder patch. It was an agreement with MLSE. On the bright side, we can all use Leafs socks/shells/gloves/helmets to match the Marlies, Steelhead and Leafs

With the Majors gone and all of their gear being given to St. Michael's school, anything in that colorway belonging to that team will be extremely rare.

Pretty much is the source of most poorly run retail establishments. Quality is top down.

Best thing to do in that situation? School him. Nicely.

Man I feel for you raganblink, I'm glad you got at least something back for it though. Now if the other guy got what was coming to him too...

Ha moving away helps a ton, trust me, you'll be fine!

Someone came in looking to see if we could exchange sizing for a Warrior Krown helmet that did not fit his son which was part of a team deal. If it's a simple size exchange like a M to L we could do and the transaction was about to go through smoothly when I decided to do a quick once-over on the helmet. The back dial was broken. The helmet could move freely and could not contract/expand. A few more questions later and the guy revelead unceremoniously that he had taken a screwdriver to the side-plate (seen in JR's teardown thread) and tried to manually adjust it to move and broke the adjustment system as well. We refused his exchange naturally and sent him to Warrior, but all in all, he was trying to scam his broken helmet (purchased elsewhere) onto us for a fresh one.

Yeah, hate that feeling. I find it best to just walk away, no?

Are those new? Because from the picture, it looks like someone removed a cuff flap on the left handed glove.

Agreed. As a retailer, they do not have my respect, much less my business.

Reim, it boggles my mind how you still so eagerly want to give them your business when they blatantly disrespected you as a customer.

So only one model? That's pretty interesting, I've never seen even a small rink shop sell only one model of stick. However, it must be pretty cool to work with them.

What's astonishing is that you immediately jumped into selling BASE haha. I'm exagerrating, but perhaps you had a promotion going on?

I've found a way to add a bit of extra length to pants. Perhaps similar methods can be used by people who have great fitting pants already but would like a bit of extra length, for kids to get that extra bit of time in, or for those who do not/cannot acquire tall sizes of stock pants. For my test module, I luckily found a pair of slightly used RYR 6000s from a thrift store for $7.99 CDN (part of this haul : http://www.modsquadh...page__st__18900) I normally wear SR Medium and most Medium pants are long enough for my 5'10" 140 lb frame. I prefer them to go down somewhere between the top of my kneecap and the middle. My current go-to pair of Tackla 5500 Air's are of this criteria, in a size 48, while the RYRs are SR Small at size 46. The only thing that didn't work for me off the shelf (or pile, in this case) was the length, as I needed about an extra 1" +/- 0.25". It's a pretty simple procedure; involving the now-realized handiwork scepter that is the Speedy Stitcher (buy one...NOW), some fabric clips (thanks for the tip, LawGoalie), a seam ripper, some hot glue and spare binding salvaged from another pair of pants. Some pants have the hem stitched with the inside thigh padding integrated with it and simply folded in and re-stitched. I un-stitched this with the ripper, straightened and restitched the thigh foam backing and stitched on the binding on the now extended length of the pant shell. Above : comparison of regular stock length and the finished extended length with stitched binding. Underneath the stitched line on the stock leg is the curled and stitched foam/nylon. That is simple unfurled. Above : Normally, the red nylon shell is stitched with the foam behind it and curled up. Above: the finished project. About an extra 3/4" to 1". I purposely did not stitch the binding alongside the stretch gusset to allow for mobility. Notes: - this will only work on pants with a sufficient amount of nylon wrapped in the hem to allow for enough length once un-stitched and unfurled - I question the durability of the binding as most of it is exposed to your thigh movements, I wish I could find a better binding scheme that is flexible as well.

Reim, cut off the cuff! lol

Haha, any idea as to how much it's worth? Nice, who uses the Dolo Spyne?

Amazing what you can find in your local thrift stores. Here's my haul (over a few weeks) from my local Goodwill/Value Village stores: Framed Felix Potvin photo - $6 Patrick Roy photoboard - $5 Framed Eric Lindros photo - $10 Bauer Comp SMU pants (for parts) - $10 St.Michael's Majors car flag (RIP ) - $1 York Toros RYR 6000 pants (for parts) - $8

Good that you like them, I thought the thumb was both stiff and actually pushed in on the joint which is unnatural and uncomfortable. Other than that, the palm is pretty good too.

I really like that look, it's starting to grow on me lol. How did the thumb feel?

Heck yeah Krev, don't even know if those are Forerunner! And how did the Covenant get there? Where is 'there'?

Is that not your perfect curve you mentioned in another thread?

Yes you're right, I was mistaken. Haha confusing indeed.
