Small questions thread

I think the heel height is the same (indicated by the 7), but the shaft is higher (indicated by the last digit).

Needed - advanced degree in guidi coding.

[Jin]

yep. Actually just some buyers/factory guide.

Or this dumbness could last for ages.



so you think sole and heel on 788 always more thick than on 988? mayb. It's got some sense. I could find actual links for 788, 788z, 988, but not for 988z... Hm hm hm.

Age of badassery.. We even can't learn some basic info for one of main niche brands... SZers...

[Dane]

I'm sure someone will chime in with a correct answer...t'won't be I.

[curiouscharles]

I think if it ends in a T = mushy toe?

I thought the first digit in the 3-digit numerical code indicated heel height, as opposed to double/single thickness.

'ms' indicates non-supported toe-box if i'm not mistaken? and, additionally, the 'ms' will appear with the model code, and not the colour code. (ie 988ms)

not entirely certain what the 't' stands for at the end of the colour code, but all the guidis i've handled with a 't' at the end of the color code have a reinforced / structured toe-box.

however, citing this link as an example;

http://pnp-firenze.blogspot.ca/2012/01/guidi-man-ss-12-back-zip-boot.html

one would presume the 't' has nothing to do with the toe-box, as these are clearly the 'ms', and thus un-structured, version of the 988.

looking through some product listings online, it's rare to find one not listed with a 't' at the end of the colour code (though it does happen) - wondering if it might be indicative of a certain type of tanning / dyeing?

[Dane]

you are correct sir, MS = MUSHY SOCK

[Jin]

shit yes MS! Totally forgot about it.

And, Charles, I think you are right about T for Tanned.

so first time experience with lost & found...

bought a pair of pants in a size small that fit like a men's 30 but has the button closure of a women's. is this intentional so that it'd be unisex or....?

[Dane]

No, sounds like ladies pants. Maybe take a look at H Lorenzo's stick to see how the men's pants look vs the women's.

[nahneun]

yeah... looks that way. browsed through the lost & found thread here and the pictures of the men's pants on scoute close right to left.

[Dane]

Would be unusual for a unisex item to have the fastening on the ladies side.

apologies if this got discussed before, can any new yorkers recommend a good yet fairly priced tailor in NYC/Brooklyn that alter wedding dresses?

[Acid, Bitter and Sad]

Leather tear on Guidi bag.

Possible to get this fixed/mended? Anywhere in NYC?

[jumpoff]

Anyone got any experience with Rick's kangaroo leather? Specifically ss10 stooges?

[kunk75]

not impressive IMO, kind of flimsy
