Steve did you get a set of the long straps with your PJ's I only ask as I went to put mine on for the first time thought these don't feel very secure

looked in the bottom of the box and thought I wonder what these funny ribbons are for then I read the manual and thought aaah  ;D

So don't worry about not noticing them I wonder how many people don't

Ok Steve
Just go to a decent sewing shop or search on line you want (2 x)  2 meter long lengths of 20mm webbing (wider might be more comfy)

On one e bay shop I have seen 10 meters for about £6 my local shop sells it for about £1-20 to £1-50 a meter but any strong tape will do even a good quality bias binding

There is a guy that sells clip on straps he's called Pinhead don't know how much they are as I now use cuffs if you want real comfort and ease of putting on or removing get sewing I did and I don't regret it see this thread for the tutorial

No offence taken Steve

Someone once said I dress like Indiana Jones on a bad day

I'm into comfort strength and useability so I look on old fasioned as "It's lasted this long must be good"

I do understand the need to look cool but find it to expensive and painful  ;D

Having said that I'm over 40 and yes I did once go to sainsburys in a pair of tartan slippers  ;D (sad but true )

Hope the straps help

p.s  Indiana Jones is the coolest person ever.. if he had springbocks he'd outrun any boulder, get across any wooden bridge with ease, also he could even work for little italy pizza shop near me, delivery boy.. thats what they should do in the new movie! :)

As far as I know I am not your father Steve (but you never know )

Yes Indi is the coolest and I recon best dressed hence my style

Slippers in supermarkets is an age thing one day you will wake up and think what the h*ll they're comfortable and who cares if I look good

Yes Bauhaus does describe me well  but I prefer my old riding instructors saying of

"Pretty is as Pretty does" has an old fasioned ring to it  ;D
