FYI - Sleeve City is shipping again. Ordered 2.5 outers/2.0 inner bundle + an ultimate outer box set pack about 40 minutes ago and just got my ship notice.

Works great on that and those nice impulse gates. I will be ordering from gas in the future.
In addition to the big gatefold sleeves, I ordered some 7” rice paper inners and outers.
I may stick with the Colemine inners cause they are cheap and give me an excuse to order a record for free shipping. But I like these and will probably use them for the rest of my sleeve needs moving forward.

It's definitely not loose fitting, but mine appears to be in a regular old 3mil outer.

I have those too (if they’re the ones with the tuckable flaps). The only things I don’t like is that the flaps come out sometimes on the gatefolds, and they’re a little big for standard sized records. Personally I like Sleeve City‘s Ultimate outers better, but I do like that you can store the LPs outside the jacket….I’ll probably use both.

You can order a smaller version for standard gatefolds. (Yes these have the tickable flaps.)I have those too (if they’re the ones with the tuckable flaps).

Yeah, that Blue Trane was slightly larger than all the other Tone Poets. My normal 2.5mil Sleeve City outers couldnt fit it, though no issues with any other TPs.

I got you. The acoustic sounds impulse have been shredding my outers. Tone poets not so much. I’d been thinking about these for a while, the blue train not working at all pushed me over the edge.

I like them as well. Don’t have the tuckahoe flap ones. But got a few different sizes and they are clear and pretty strong/durable it seems. Quick shipping and always seem to have stock. Free shipping overs a certain amount is great too. I’ll stick with them I think and then Hudson HiFi inners since they were cheap. I’ll look into the Colemine inners too though if I run out of Hudson ones. Always like supporting Colemine/Plaidroom

They’re basically the same product as the Hifi/mofi/whatever other product you have seen like that. They are EXACTLY the same as the groove inners Colemine used to use before they got their own branded ones.

Having used up all 20 of the vss big gatefold outers I bought, I will be buying more. I will also check out the standard size ones. I like them a lot.

If you're talking about the 13" sleeves (SP4-13CPP), what are you using them on? They seem a bit too wide for the gatefolds I've tried them on.

The 4mil in 12.75 for tone poets and the acoustic sound series.
4 mil Gatefold Outer Sleeve LP Vinyl Record Outer Sleeves - Crystal Clear CPP-10 Sleeves to a pack - WITH TUCKABLE FLAPS (READ SIZE INFO!)
Now 2 sizes! A standard 12-5/8 (318mm to 322mm) and a bigger 12.75inch (324mm to 328mm) size for most of those monster gate-folds that have been coming out lately! My recommendation is to order a 3 to 1 ratio approx. 2 packs of the 318mm to 322mm with 1 pack of the 324mm to 328mm. Then sort your...

I figured. I bet they’re what I need for all these triple records I have. Maybe the Friday music bowies, too.
I'm happy to report that the new VSS - 12.75" dual pocket outer sleeve fits my MoFi gatefolds like a glove. They're tight, but they don't crush the fold; they're absolutely perfect. Weird being excited about a plastic bag, but I've been waiting on this size for a very long time.

Thank you! Should probably wait for the next sale, but going to order some now!

prices are in CAD I think, so I've just tried to hit the minimum free shipping amount when I have ordered in the past. i think they offer a discount for ordering multiples of the same product too. i've missed out on the sales but have felt the prices have been reasonable even without the sale.
