^^yep. you can tell from the pics. the leather is all scarred and the toe is all wrinkled. looks all old and beat up and hasn't even been worn yet. piece of shit.

An idea – city resources threads. For example, I live in the SF Bay Area, and am currently in need of a cobbler, tailor, and dry cleaner, all of whom I would prefer to be familiar with the work of at least some of the designers here. I'd hate to have them try to "clean" the treatment out of my Julius shirt, or trim the raw edges off my Odyn Vovk hoodie.

What say you, SZ?

Good idea but may prove too regional?
I generally just tell them to leave everything as is unless specified. Learned to do this after some dude shoe polished ccp derbz :[

shit i had this happen to me a few months ago, i was talking to a coworker outside my office and this guy just comes up and sprays polish on my shoe, before i knew what was happening he tries to start buffing my shoe, i had half a mind to kick him in the face. At the time they were my favorite shoes jm cazabat derbies, not as big of deal as ccp's but still to this day my right shoe looks a little off from the left.

haha, same has happened to me with a pair of Augusta boots. I had to wipe them clean with a wet towel, which actually left them nice and matte. since then I've told the cobbler to not touch anything else than the sole.

as for the city resources thing, I suppose we could have a list with at least major cities, if someone want to compile it. I know I don't have time. and it would have to be one thread, otherwise it gets messy.

^sounds liek a good practical answer

also deionized water and kimwipes makes everything all good. got bored in lab class and cleaned them shoes.

I'm looking for some warm-ish leather gloves for winter. I don't want to drop $1000 on CCP or anything like that. Really, I'm just looking for the classic glove silhouette in some matte leather--nothing too particular. I would, of course, like the materials and the construction to be of good quality. I'd like to spend about $250-300 tops. If anyone has any brand/store suggestions I would really appreciate them, as I'm at a loss.

Thanks,
D

i think attachment releases one every season but you'll have to check on the materials; they play around a bit.
