    Jacket button extender thingy

    Guys,

    I've been searching for 'jacket button extender', 'leather button extender', etc. to no avail, do you know the appropriate name of these things?, where to get them?

    TIA.

    Doing a google search, I found a vest extenders that was a leather piece that works as a jacket button extender.

    I looked at Keltoi Gaelic Clothing site..our own slohairt, and he has a piper jacket that has a chain front button link, listed on a jacket.. You might contact him and see if he can get that link for you.. Of the two I found... I prefer the look of the one on Keltoi's website..

    Check any of your local motorcycle shops. That is a popular item with bikers that get a bit paunchy over the years but don't want to give up their favorite leather vest. I think they are call extenders but not sure.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but the sit-ups only tighten up the muscles. . . . only eating less will remove the fat that is the culprit! (I know, I've been working on that for a number of years now.

    True, the sit ups won't get rid of the fat, but they will tighten up the muscles behind that fat. And that will often result in a reduction in your waist measurement. All I can say is, it does it for me a couple of times a year.

    Try a military uniform shop. Captmac needed a little "breathing room" in his mess dress and came home with one. Now we are both on a diet!
