ironplanet uk900 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Take a picture and post it. You will get more help that way k4Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Rick Try cleaning the top of the stand with WD40 and in and around the collar. They do tend to seize up after a while due to the crap that falls down either side of the last itself. Failing that, I could sell you one if you can post a picture Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 do you have the lasts themselves too keith?, we have one of those stands but not enough of the feet now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 it all depends on the fitting as some lasts are still available, your best bet is to post a picture and see if either us or standards can supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 I concur with Peter. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I would never, ever, get a new collar.!!! Usually the Cuffs are frayed too. Cheaper to get a new one from Primark, unless one has them hand made of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 hugh, you really need to get a visit to the doctor in, i iknow a bit about getting people sectioned under the mental health act if it is any use. everyone knows you can remove your collar turn it over and re stitch it back on............................... and primark? do you shop at lidl as well?

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 No Peter I dont shop at Lidl, I tend to go for the more upmarket fare at Aldi. Much more refined class of customer you know. My collars have already been turned and are on the reverse side now, could always make the collar smaller on my new Aldi sewing machine. Yes ascap you are correct, "someones dad's dad" and still collects and plays Conkers in the Autumn so perhaps I should be sectioned off. They are coming to take me away ha ha.

kobblers Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 this sort of last is what i'm after peter/keith. i could do with a couple of men's, broad and slim if ya can get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 these are still available new and to order. they normally have a size marked on them (in recess of toe part as on pic) when ordering it is important to know the rough length- perhaps shoe size would give an indicator. will get back to you with a price asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 about a gents 8 should do it as before, one broad, one slim. cheers, rick. bet the postage is a killer on 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 ok will check, the post will be limited to £10 if memory serves me right, we get to a point with weight where there is no increase in cost until really heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
