Scalliwag Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) I had Diane, my seamstress that makes to covers, make a cover that fits tighter. They turned out tighter than I expected. The first ones were made loose because that is how my previous hose covers were. I was a bit shocked when I saw how small she got these.I kinda think something between the two sizes would look best but I want your opinions. We can always make them both ways.

Toxik916 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I like the tighter look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 When it comes to hose covers i like em to fit like a glove. It leaves less material to get caught under things and get dipped in thigs and all that. Basically i like the nammor style covers. Well to be more specific i really like the way KM ultimate hoses look. But Yes again tighter is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinite Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Tight looks like a professional product, loose looks like a DIY project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coplinb Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Had to go with tight, looser, it looks just like a hose cover, but with it tight, it looks like thats how it should be, not just a cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I like the tighter one, not only do I think it looks more professional and classy but I think it draws more attention to the detail of the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_steve Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Tight looks better IMO....loose is good with handles far wider than the hose, and in the case of this monster hose, tight is just more pleasing. edit: on closeup I love that material...it matches my couch Edited April 16, 2009 by mustang_steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColibriDon Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Tight. It looks much more professional and very well put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 For that material I'd say the tight just looks far better. For loose covers I'd say that a much thinner fabric is the ticket. At least that's what I usually use, mainly because it's a lot cheaper than nice fabrics like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
