Little things you find annoying that aren’t worth mentioning …… ( now you can mention them here.)

[B-Man2]

In the scheme of life this stuff doesn’t rate the time it takes to blink, but it’s still annoying . So I thought why not give it a place in the forum that we can air it out and be done with it . Who knows maybe one of you guys have a quick fix for our problems. So feel free to post the little things that you find annoying on repros.

So here’s an annoying pet peeve of mine. Zipper pullers getting twisted and locked up in the slider . It’s just annoying to have to fiddle with it every time you put the jacket on. Anyone else have this happen ?

Well, not exactly but my Bronson b-10 is the biggest pain in the ass to do up the zipper that I’ve ever experienced. But it’s not a very expensive jacket.

Swapping the puller is the only solution. That twist happens usually to the very cheapest china repro Talons because they are too wide at the puller "flap"

Yes, all the time with my 5 star Dubow, I'm sure it'll jam permanently one day.

Oh and button holes which are too tight are a pain in the Ass for me. Buttoning such a jacket takes time and makes your fingers hurt

Honestly, the only zips I don't hate are size 7+, and mostly the 10's.
I'm too large for smaller zips and they seem to always get fugged up.

OK, what bugs me...
Repop companies that only go to what I'd say are US "large" sizes.
We big guys need things too.

Have the same problem with the button holes being too small on my Bronson A-1 .

I have the same problem with my 5 star jackets, drives me nuts, I finally changed the zipper pull on my B6 and the D1 is next.

Costs extra to make the holes bigger

It's pretty easy to fix those zipper pulls when they twist, you just have to be gentle and have 'the touch' instead of trying to force it. kind of like a brain teaser puzzle.

Swapping the puller, so next question: Where do you get those Talon Bell style pullers? and how are you installing them/having them installed exactly?

Like that extra package option for turn signals on cars that everyone stopped buying?

I guess it’s not just here where drivers are morons. Too much effort to move a finger that far. Especially with a phone in their hand. Or they’re just plain ignorant and don’t care.

Ooops, wrong forum!

Oh man. If we go beyond jackets, god help us. Hold me back!

Best not to make a habit of gripes, but car design is one of mine if the interior is not well thought out.

Jackets isn't up on my list really.

Also, more sunlight, less winter.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Don’t get me started on turn signals…..”nice Audi, to bad that for the dough ya paid for it, signals are not included”. Oh, they are? So why the fuck don’t ya use em?

 

[MauldinFan]

As for jackets, why is it that SO FEW companies making A2s can't at least try to make a label that looks like the WW2 style?

 

[Pa12]

Well, I know this wasn’t the intent of this thread but I gotta say, top of my list for drivers is going slow in the left lane. Especially when there’s a friggin sign every kilometre that says” right lane except to pass”. Gets my blood boiling.

the slider and the puller, they are not match. Possible not came from same manufacturer.
