They take great pride in repairing and nurturing people's cherished footwear back to life. As you noted, we regularly receive shoes and boots purchased over 20 years ago that are only beginning to show signs of needing a full repair. Robust and built to last, these are often handed down from father to son.Trickers Shoeshttp://www.trickers.com/?SID=l0f1oir5dm4r8c0g46sqe4qdf5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201300276766108633.post-44298928052530266602016-01-26T19:10:33.224+00:002016-01-26T19:10:33.224+00:00I think its a wonderful thing you do and I wish yo...I think its a wonderful thing you do and I wish you all the very best with your efforts.<br /><br />ChrisChrishttp://ozzywizzpop.com/childrens-entertainer-chippenham/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201300276766108633.post-21437999291542920492015-11-17T07:31:58.134+00:002015-11-17T07:31:58.134+00:00Firstly, it shows just how protective clothing com...Firstly, it shows just how protective clothing companies are to their brand.

A recycling line for plastic can produce clean <a href="http://www.fiberpartner.com/products/plastics/" rel="nofollow">PET Bottle Flakes</a> , although the bottles or films can be filthy . Labels of bottles and caps are cleaned out by label moving machinery which can result in cleanliness levels reaching up to 90 percent. So go recycling bottles and make a cap for yourself.

More transparency in the clothing sector is a must, but what scares me with this kind of wearable tech is the openness to fraud.<br /><br />It'd be quite easy for a company to put on the rfd chip fake location data etc, so I'm not sure how you'd go about policing this.<br /><br />But it's certainly something worth keeping an eye ono.

I'm putting a list together on a google doc as there doesn't seem to be a good directory available. Contact via the facebook page is fine.<br /><br />As for Lissaman - she's not aware that there is a democratic welfare state in the UK, and that (plus a factory auditing work for the likes of Nike) clouds her judgement. It seems bizarre, but it's true. This is the quote.<br /><br />Adam Vaughan, journalist:<br /><br />"If we can generally guess what the problems are, can we shop by country, picking good ones and bad ones? Usually you can see where<br />a product was made."<br /><br />Clare Lissaman, taxpayer-funded consultant, up the road from Brick Lane:<br /><br />"I don't think you can compare countries. You're just as likely to have a sweatshop down the road here in London in the east end as you are in China, India or Bangladesh. One of the best factories I've come across in the world was in China. One of the worst factories I've come across in the world was in China."<br /><br />Enough said.https://facebook.com/planB4fashion - John Robertsonhttps://facebook.com/planB4fashionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201300276766108633.post-73712306046907999042013-05-14T09:45:17.035+01:002013-05-14T09:45:17.035+01:00It's such a tragedy, but one that I think the ...It's such a tragedy, but one that I think the general public has to take some bit of responsibility for also... we have heard about the lack of health and safety measures in these types of factories to produce cheap clothing for years, yet how many of us choose quality over cost when it comes down to purchasing decisions?
