Earlier today I tripped on the corner of a big metal post on the sidewalk and now I have a nice right-angled scrape on the left foot of one of my favourite pairs of boots. Is that something a cobbler can fix or do I have to walk around with that right angle? If a cobbler can fix it, approximately how much does it normally cost?

I don't clearly see what you mean. Maybe you could post a picture ? But if this is what I think, you can do what has to be done yourself, a cobbler won't be better at making this scrape disappear. Depending on the quality of the leather, you can use a very, very, VERY light grained sandpaper to attenuate it as much as you can, before you restore the color with an appropriate shoecream. If the leather is too thin or too soft, forget the sandpaper and only use shoecream.

That won't be perfect, but that will certainly reduce the apparent damage, unless it is very large.

Try doing it yourself first - sometimes a good shoe cream can take care of that.

If the scratch isn't very deep, then you can use a liquid leather repair kit. I'd give that a shot first. Otherwise, if it's a very deep scratch or you're not confident in your use of the repair kit, you can take it to a cobbler or leather worker.

Thanks Mail-Moth, Faust and spastic koala. I'll give the shoe cream/liquid leather repair kit a shot first. Hopefully that will be enough.

anyone know if revolve codes work for forward.forward

[ardeetee]

[beardown]

anyone know if revolve codes work for forward.forward

Kunk,
try the following:
JT for 15% off
Tulip for 15% off or
Candy for 10% off.

I used revolve codes in the past for forward that worked, it's just a matter of finding an active code.
You can keep refreshing with different codes to get one that works.

[kunk75]

^thank you, sir.

out of curiosity, can you tell me how the waist was taken in for you? The construction of these pants in general don't seem to lend to being taken down 2+ sizes without looking like genie pants or obliterating the overlock at least down the seat seam. From the photos posted it seemed like all the overlocked seams were still there.

Alan Bilzerian's tailor was able to do the job.You are right.The overlock seems are all still there,they somehow took it in from the inside and they don't balloon at all.Weird thing is they are the same as a size 48 all the way up until the top 3 inches of the waist.So the alteration was minor.
Once I posted them on ebay I was like,what the hell am I doing,I love these!!
But I am glad to say,at Alan's they have the tailor to due a proper alteration! Umm,hope this answers the question.
