Small questions thread

[lowrey]

they should stretch a bit. is the toebox reinforced, does it feel thicker than the rest of the shoe?

you could use a stretcher on them or take them to a cobbler if they don't stretch with wear.

Anyone tried this particular jacket on?



Similar to other Rick this SS season, the leather looks kinda.....yeah.... that damn sheen!! but not as bad as others though :/
Questions:
Does it appear glossy in person?
The torso seems to protrude out, is that correct?
Does it run small/slim or TTS?

THANKS YALL

If it was blistered, I'd be all over it like a fat kid chasing an ice cream truck.

Too bad this one:

I will never be able to get brand new since its so old now

About to purchase a RO boots from AW10 Gleam.
This is going to be my first rick boots and want to ask do they break easy?

Saw a few post in the past regarding the soles coming off etc?
Should I be worried if I am planning to wear them most likely everyday or I would be better off buying something else lol

I can only attest to one pair of shorts and one pair of slacks where the quality was really questionable for both. The darts on the back pockets weren't reinforced enough but the stitching was really dense so it ripped the material from simply bending over. That was the shorts.

The slacks had similar problems with darts on the front pockets and the button pulled off.

I got them on sale and the repairs were fairly inexpensive (but obvious on the shorts) so it just depends on what kind of deal you get on them. Have had a similar experience with Viridi-Anne and I still regularly buy their pants.

This really depends on how badly you want the boots vs. the effort to preserve them. The soles are pretty notorious for being fragile. I like the 2010 sole the best, actually but you may find that they crack around where the sole is attached to the upper. I've seen that several times and on my own.

If you're not going to be playing war games and have a decent cobbler who can make basic repairs if necessary, it's one of my favorite boots overall and my daily wear. To be honest, the damage seems to be kind of a crap shoot but much better than the staple situation you find on the sneakers from the same season.

I've had a few KVA jackets and the quality is more than acceptable on the more tailored ones. Think Raf Simons or something along those lines

im good with aged its just that i have black boots in reverse calf and when i hit them occasionally or have someone scuff it leaves a big white mark, i prefer the shoes be black

[cowsareforeating]

toothbrush bristles are weaksauce, leather is STRONG.
