Just received these from an online retailer who happened to have my size in stock. How would the users here handle this situation?

These have been in stock in my size for several weeks with a reputable online retailer. After weeks of being on the fence about it, I decided to go through with buying them. This is my first pair of Wescos, and my first pair of >$500 pair of boots. I was pretty disappointed to see this scuffing damage on the boots when I opened the box. I purchased these as factory firsts and paid full price.

Is this common? Should I reach out to the retailer? Should I just look into getting them repaired locally? Is this not that big of a deal? Obviously, I bought these to wear them, and knew that scuffing them up was a part of owning boots, but I’ve bought factory second Red Wings that were in way better shape than these. I’m genuinely not sure how to respond.

I’m curious to hear the community’s thoughts.

Looking for a company that can add shutoff valves to a gas line in my home

Long story short, I need to get someone to my home in the next couple of days who can add shutoff valves to the gas line running through my home. I’ve had an appliance related failure, but unfortunately there is no shutoff valve for the line that runs to the effected appliance.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for recommendations for a good tailor. I need about 6 men’s button ups taken in

I have six shirts that I need taken in. They are long enough in the sleeves but are slightly too billowy in the torso. Does anyone have a good tailor they can recommend?

I also have a couple of pairs of jeans I’d like to have altered if anyone has a suggestion for a place that is good with denim. Specifically, I’d like to have the waist taken in, have them hemmed and finished with a traditional blue jean hem, and I’d like to have the legs slightly tapered.

I’d be willing to drive to Greensboro or High Point as well.

Thanks in advance!

Is it normal to have this much wrinkling after one wear?

Just got these Iron Rangers, and I noticed some pretty deep wrinkling after a few hours of wear. Is this normal? Should I treat the boots in any way?

Thanks!

Edit: thanks for getting back to me yall. I really appreciate the feedback. This is my fourth pair of red wings, and I’ve never had this amount of creasing this quickly. I was just curious what the community thought.

My son really wants to tie dye some hockey jerseys. Does anyone know of any white blanks that could work?

My son plays and is really wanting to tie dye some practice jerseys for next season. All of the white blanks I can find online are polyester and won’t work for traditional tie dye methods. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes blanks in other fabrics that might work for us?

Both my kids play hockey and are obsessed with the Canes. All day yesterday they begged me to rewatch Game 2. This is us yesterday evening.

My RFD/Canes jersey showed up just in time for tonight’s game!

The Raleigh Fire Department hockey squad did these jerseys for their fundraiser game this year. They had a ton of orders, and I’ve been patiently waiting ever since I ordered mine.

So pumped it came in today!

Just putting the finishing touches on my music and podcasts pregame playlists. What do yall like to listen to before a game?

My birthday is tomorrow, and I would still love to tailgate before the game even though I’m coming solo. Are there any other people who would like to join me?

I’m open to individuals, groups, or anyone looking to hang out. I don’t mind getting a spot early for us. I could get to the Lenovo center by 2-3 tomorrow. I have plenty of chairs and coolers. The only thing I’m really missing is some sort of canopy.

I’ve never been able to tailgate before a Canes game because I live in Winston and never have the time to come down early. I decided to do this for my birthday, but unfortunately most of my friends and family can’t afford to come.

If anyone else is interested in tailgating but are also coming by themselves or can’t get there early enough to set up, let me know. I’d love to get us a spot and host.

Made in Canada CCM Carolina Hurricanes XL jersey

SOLD SOLD SOLD

bought this jersey on this sub this week. I purchased it for $50. Just trying to sell it for what I bought it for.

After I ordered this jersey, I found one that had never been worn listed for over $100. I’m looking to do a custom Brind’Amour jersey through a nice customizer like EPS, and I decided to sell this one and keep the one that has never been worn.

There does appear to be some slight tinting on the crest from when I’m guessing the jersey was washed. None of the other white fabrics were effected.

Priced accordingly. Add $10 to cover PayPal g&s and shipping.

$60 all in to get a made in Canada jersey to your door.

Thanks so much for looking.

University of Alabama Game Worn Hockey jerseys are up for purchase

Alabama’s hockey team just posted a bunch of game worn jerseys for sale. I’m not a huge fan, but quality college jerseys are crazy hard to come by in the South, and I thought some users might want to get one while they’re still available.

Carolina Hurricanes Adidas Indo (sz 54) Away (White) Seth Jarvis. Customized by Hockey Authentic. Worn once.

Bought this new on here from u/jabberw0c last week. This is the listing for their original post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/hockeyjerseys/s/VvP7OZMeYD

The jersey arrived brand new with tags, and I wore it one time before deciding it was just a touch too small for me. It’s an Adidas Indo sized 54 and was professionally customized by hockey authentic. The craftsmanship is top notch for this price point.

I did take the tags off, but promise I only wore it once. I’d love to keep it, but I know I’ll likely rarely wear it.

I bought it for $225. I’d like to get as close to my purchase price as possible, so I’m asking $225 or best offer. I will split shipping and PayPal fees with the buyer.

Looking for a local company that can stitch lettering and numbers onto a jersey for me

Howdy local homies,

I have a blank jersey, and I’d like some numbering and lettering stitched on the back and the arms of the jersey. The nameplate and numbers have been professionally assembled, but I’d like to find someone local to do the finishing stitching for me.

Does anyone know if Roy Cooper is going to be on 99.9 for the pregame coverage again today?

I was fairly impressed with our former governor’s Canes takes before the last game. Does anyone know if he’s going to call in again today?
