skydivecat 3 #26 October 31, 2012 Anybody have any good places/people that they recommend for buying these from? I have been wanting to purchase one for my SIS, but haven't found the right one yet and no one up my way seems to make them... I will be traveling to the farm and sebastian this winter, and I am sure I can find some stuff there, but if anyone has anyone/anyplace they recommend, I would love to check some out! ~sorry for the mini-hijack, but it seemed on topic!!!

What exactly are you looking for? The links 'Twardo posted have some nice "jewlery" quality stuff, or I've seen some on beaded or macrame-style necklaces. Mine is simply a real closing pin from the parts bin, hanging on a close-fitting stainless steel chain with a small ring to attact the pin to the chain. The chain was $10 at my local jewler. The pin was $2.50 IIRC."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

gearless_chris 1 #32 October 31, 2012 A tandem student asked his TI why everybody had the same necklace on. The TI said, "Well a few years ago a bunch of our friends were killed in a plane crash. These are part of the plane we wear as a reminder of our friends.""If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMGR2 0 #36 November 1, 2012 Many years ago I lost my best friend to a mid-air collision on a freefly jump. Mine is the straight pin cut off his rig. Might not have earned it but he never lets me forget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw the hemp choker ones (that's what they were, not really "macrame") at SDC (the Paraconcepts store). I looked, but they don't have them on the website."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

DanDanInc 5 #45 November 1, 2012 Quote Great Story, glad to see you are coming back stronger than ever and determined to make your dream a reality. That is fantastic bro. You're welcome and thanks for posting this. I have always wondered what people truly thought of the little piece of metal. Especially well seasoned skydivers. I guess some feel that they are homosexual. That's odd. I don't even think a closing pin has a gender.
