97bros bracelet

A month ago it was my boyfriend's birthday and I was seriously out of idea on what to give him. In a year, he gets three presents, each from valentine, birthday to christmas. Yes, he's one lucky bastard. Since our relationship started rolling from year 2011, I think he has more than 15 special gifts from me right now. Well, except for two which he literally "can't find it" instead of admitting he loose it. Bravo!!!

This year's birthday I was like totally blank. I can't think of anything. I don't want to get him another pair of shoes because I know I will be ended up sleeping outside the room if his shoes continues to pile up on the floor (closet was fulled!).

I was scrolling my news feed in facebook one day and I saw LengYein jie sharing a picture of a bracelet that she's wearing. Well well, what do you know... FINALLY! Instead of couple tees suggested by my friend, I could get a couple bracelets! Which is new. I can't bear to wear couple tees out like last time. Like I'm afraid that no one knows that we're a couple. Well, that's old story I would not want to remember.

It took quite long for the bracelets to be made and reach my door before September was gone after I placed my order. First, all of the bracelets are made in Malaysia (Penang to be specified, nice place for beach), Second, they are all made by a number of boys born in year 97 (all of them!!!! I wonder how do they meet, from high school??).


 Ok, you might be thinking what does it have to do with the two conditions right? Let me guide you through... Because they are born in year 97, so currently they're all still studying.. in pre-university, and they were having their finals while my purchase was made (bad bad timing).
Well, as much as I want my bracelets to be done and sent at the very next minute, can't means can't. You won't want a handcrafted item goes wrong when you took your official close look at it! However, they did apologised for being late which was very very very considerate of them. =)


The bracelet comes with a gold colour water proof buckle with their ENgraved logo on it, while the rest depends on what colour you've ordered. I've ordered two different NMD inspired bracelets and guess what, it's even awesome than it looks on their website! Great isn't it?! It's very rare that you could get the same as what you see online and get the best out of it.


The material used on the rope are lightweight nylon kernmantle. It's a genuine MIL-SPEC MIL-C-5040 Type III. It has seven to nine inner yarns each made up of three strands. In other words, layman term, they are known as parachute cord, paracord or 550 cord if you may. They are famously used in the suspension lines of parachutes. It can be also act for general use such as securing a tent, securing a splint OR my favourite - tying up my boyfriend like what happened in Fifty Shades Darker. Yummy~ I WAS KIDDING!!!!! Ok lar... in my dream maybe... hahahahahaha!



Ok, let's not go out of line first.. At the end of the rope, they sealed it by melting and surprisingly they're able to make a smooth and perfect closure. No sharp ends at all. You won't get to feel the ends where they cut and tie a new colour (if your bracelet has more than one colour). If you get their royal series (single colour) then you should only have one or two ends of it the most. You'll be fascinated on how great their handiwork are.


Their bracelets comes in 0.25inch different starting from 5.5 to 7.5. However, if you're unsure on how to measure your wrist size, you can check on the steps provided in their website. If you're still unsure or want a custom size for example a bit loosen during wearing, you could request from them because they are all handcrafted from scratch! All of the contacts including whatsapp are listed as well if you have any question. My suggestion would be you measuring your wrist with a MEASURING TAPE, take a picture of it and drop an email to 97bros before proceeding to any purchase. Lesson learned. Don't say I didn't tip you ya.


October is here and what I've got for you guys is this... A new batch of series has been released called the Shades.. Fifty Shades of Grey you may think? Hahaha. No lar.. It's actually inspired by the new Apple Iphone 7. The new series has three new colours with a matching glossy gunmetal buckle!
