That was a pretty long shot question, so big ups to xeraphim for not only answering it, but taking it right to the point of purchase.

The plaid sweater isn't really my cup of tea, but I've some great early Stella pieces that I just love.

Looked better on the picture I must admit - strange.

A drunk guy accidently kicked a candle light all over me tonight. My ann dem vitello boots got wax all over them and my soloist shirt got some spots. How can I get this away best way possible? : ((

Depends on the material. One method is to cover the wax with something absorbent like paper towel or cotton cloth, then reheat the wax with an iron on low. The idea is to draw the wax out of the material through a couple iterations, until nothing is coming through to the paper towel. Candle wax could leave a stain though even after the wax has been removed. The problem with this is the risk the heat could pose to the fabric if it has synthetics

There are commercial products as well, most popular one seems to be un-du, but I've never used it, so can't speak to its effectiveness.

Cande wax on leather will almost definitely leave an oily residue mark, even after all of it has been removed. I suppose it depends on the composition of the wax, how much essential oil, if any, was in it, etc.

The only rational thing to do, therefore, is find the bastard and beat his careless ass to your satisfaction.

I had a lover do this to me as well on accident...

We put my boots in the sun to melt the wax and then used a credit card to scrape off the residue

Any favorites for leather pants for men?? More of a slim cut :) They seem hard to come by...

mrbeuys has a nice pair from Ann D, though if I remember correctly he's had them altered for a more precise fit.

I think when it comes to mens leather pants, this often ends up as the default fix (artisanal/niche labels included), lest you want a 'trouser-y' look.

Women have so much more choice in this area, but you probably already knew that,
so I won't rub it in.

Edit: Have you looked at Julius? Smokin' hot leather pants!

Just as I suspected! All that I have tried so far I would've needed to get altered– not that it's stopping me, though it would be nice to have some that have their own inherent cut.

Although I see you can get that from Julius-- thank you for the recommendation! A quick search and I've found a few amazing pairs. Maybe I'll wait until sales though.. (this boy would've had to save up for 4k+)

And yes you girls are overflowing with options for leather leggings/pants/cropped/et al.... I'm a bit jelly

you can also try your local favorite fetish shop. you can get a custom pair to fit you like a (body)glove. it's just like getting a check up at the doctor's office. turn your head and cough...
