Sorry for the re-post, but this should-be-simple situation is more and more
annoying. I asked last week if anyone knew of a sock company that had socks
available (not custom made...I know I can pay for anything custom made if I
want) to fit the straps provided by KISS.
So the responses I got were positive suggesting Knit Rite and Royal Knit. I
get a Knit Rite sample, after a representative from Knit Rite leaves me a
message assuring me that even KISS uses their socks and the strap fits right
through, and it turns out the hole is no bigger than what I get from Daw
which is only big enough for a pin. I guess if I wanted to crush and fold up
a strap to force it through the hole of the sock made for a pin I could do
that but I was looking for something easier for my patient to deal with.
Then I call Royal on the recommendations of many, and they also said their
hole at the distal end of the sock is only big enough for the pin, but I can
have socks customized by them.
I feel like I'm living a Twilight Zone episode. How could it be that I am
the only one who wants to use a reputable suspension system, and can't find
a sock company who has a line of socks to accommodate that system? I am NOT
wasting my day away fiddling around with customizing my own socks with hot
glue and all sorts of other rigged up fixes. This is insane and maybe just a
vent on my part but although I appreciate the time everyone took to give me
a response the first time around, things just aint working out.
Guess I'm on my own, as was William Shatner being the only one on the plane
who saw the gremlin. Welcome to Monday morning.
Frustrated,
Andrew
