Apparently a children's book,..  :) would be an interesting read I'm sure.
I love the fact the Dog is carrying a Pair as well  ;)  ;D

I might be a little late to this but there is also a English site named "Norris Steam" where they sell a variety of irons. One of them is a dry around 11 pounds/ 5 kg so it be good for general use. But they also have steam in that weight too.
I'm not sure where you may live or if they ship all over the world, but if they do ship to your country you're in luck!
Also another place is a Italian website named Fodere Zamboni. Some of their stuff is out fo stock but it looks really good.

Thanks Posaune. The Deluxe price I can't afford right now, maybe later  ;)

Peterle, thanks for the link, what a beauty. I'm also looking for something second hand, if possible.

Will keep you guys updated!

Advanced Apprentices / Re: Lost in Shanghai
Last post by Pink Cat - September 10, 2024, 01:42:39 AM
I should have made an update last year. I knocked on every tailor's door and eventually found an internship in Shanghai that opened my mind and probably changed the course of my career. I always thought I was going to work for theaters, now... not so sure. Learned a lot, went to Italy, came back to Germany but everyday I think about Shanghai, the friends I made and what I learned.

Thanks for the kind words, Steelmillal, it did help :)

This is exactly the one, I bought second hand. It is very good, really heavy and has a modern "hot item" plug.

I used the Terms "Schneiderbügeleisen", "Schweres Bügeleisen" "Bügeleisen Grossag"

Quote from: posaune on September 06, 2024, 06:45:56 PMSearch for Veit Trockenbügeleisen DELUX. As far as I known they produce a 4.5kg iron. The plate is made from "Messing". The price is deluxe too.

Posaune, it sounds like you are duscussing the Trockenbeerenauslese of tailors irons. ;)
