Sure they do. But the effort of finding them *and* finding out if they stock something *and* travelling to visit them makes click'n'order on Amazon much mroe attractive
See above.
The only small shops I visit are homebrew supplies. And that's more for the chat and tradition. And only since the closure of the online store I used to use :)
I'm sure there are loads of ways it could be done. But I wanted a metal chain for various reasons.
Our "local" homebrew store closed suddenly last year. Suddenly but (truth be told) not unexpectedly.
The annoying/frustrating thing is that they also had a damn good online presence - with a corking domain name.
I am sure with a tiny bit of effort they could have sold the whole business as a going concern. The domain name was severely under-marketed and could have driven a lot of traffic.
Like everyone else, I miss being able to have a ferret in a dingy shop and come across a hidden treasure. But sentiment doesn't pay bills.
It must be an extraordinary shop.

Have you tried Range?

Sew in a piece of small chain.
Optimist. Normal rule of thumb, hardware time x 3, Software, time x 10.
Its still there, though not as much an oasis as it used to be.
Which will rust/oxidise and mark the fabric.
There was a reason such things existed. And still do.
All depends on the chain.
:)
Why ? Nearest one is a 10 mile drive, so not really somewhere to try on the off chance. Cheaper to order online.
Have you factored in the time to remove all the runners from 9-12 drawers and put them back on the *right* way round? ;-)

Bondage?
Ha ha ha ha ha!
I've finally stopped doing that :-)
Ha ha :/
No, because the garment was actually quite a nice jacket, and a decent loop means it will last far beyond the 3 months the original loop did. On the plus side, I did get a 50% discount after complaining :)
You'll remember Mrs Wedge, the Ships Chandlers Verulam Road, then. Nearly as far from the sea as you can get!

I hate HB. I go in with the intention of getting one or two specific things and invariably come out with a trolley full!
Amazon/ebay's cheaper for chemicals anyway. Shops are too paranoid to sell many chemicals now, online sellers seem not to care.
Though exceptions happen. I searched for packs of plastic tea strainers yesterday, and found just gimmicky junk on amazon/ebay. Locally I can get them for 35p each, a fraction of the online price.
Sainsbury, Aldi, etc etc
for good reason
The haberdashers near me both had suitable cloth pieces last time I looked.
Le Creuset sums the process up. Charge x times the normal price and suckers will pay.
A lot of shops in town I can't think of any reason to ever enter. I wonder how some people believe and chase what they do.
