Superstar Vintage Laces -
Teaj - 22-09-10
Following on from the other thread....
Here are some photos that should help you decide which length to go for.
In summary there's not much difference between shoes sizes:
UK 11 and below: if you want to lace to the top and tie the laces then get the longer 150cm version. If you like them loose then get the shorter ones.
UK 11.5 and above: probably best to get the longer ones, the shorter ones wont reach to the top lace hole.
Hope that helps, any questions just let me know.
ALSO - I'll include a free pair for people who are happy to take photos of them laced in their supes! Especially consortiums

Thanks for the solid info MrSS! BTW, when do you plan to restock some more colors of your MrSS Superior Fat Laces?

Oh no! That's a huge shame... I never got to try 'em out yet. Any chance you can elaborate on the situation (what happened, etc.)? I'm curious...

The manufacturer f*cked up the last batch, they weren't up to quality. It's a real shame, but I have very low income so can't afford the resources required to do it properly. It's a shame bigger companies dont want to focus on quality just profit but that is business I guess.

That's sort of what I'm saying... or was thinking... if capital is the other thing keeping you from making more MrSS Superior Fat Laces then let's get you some capital

Yes, not directly, just from things such as the webspace I bought and the branding work I had done, not to mention weeks worth of time/work spent on it. The company have still not explained why they're not the same quality as the last ones.
I weighed the laces to compare and they were around 20-25% less weight - so I think someone along the line thought they could make a saving.
It's even more disappointing as the colours were real sweet.

thats shit mate... needed some new laces and was hoping you were getting some new fat's in...
profit over quality seems to be the way forward these days with alot of buisness' ... like the others mentioned above Im also keen to support quality independant shops ... if we did a big enough pre-order could that help? whats the time frame like on production?, I wouldnt mind paying for some upfront and waiting a fair while for them to turn up id thats what its gonna take.
if thats not a go'er, are you getting any toby xl fat in black?

i was praying on some juicy black fats after receiving some whites and finding out how delicious they were! sorry to hear that Tom. hope They can fix it for you

I think the main problem is finding a reliable supplier/manufacturer...
Production time on the last ones was about 8 weeks.
And sorry I dont have a supplier for the Toby XLs either, so doubt I will get more. I think big laces might stock them?
