Small questions thread

i'll repeat my usual suggestion: take a small piece of thread from one of the seams somewhere, light it on fire - if it melts, it's synthetic, if it just burns, it's likely natural fiber.

must've missed that, will test it out. 'worst' case scenario, i'll just run a sharpie over the stitch if it doesn't take the dye. thanks!

Does anyone here have any experience with the Drkshdw Bull Leather caps by chance? I haven't seen any in person and am wondering how stable the bull leather bill is (will it soften and fold/droop, etc) and how the cap stands against hot weather.

Does anyone have experience with guidi stag leather as far as aging and durability(not the reverse)? I'm trying to decide between a pair of 992s in black stag vs black soft horse. Also, any opinions on that vs a pair of black cordovan MOTO shoes (see: http://www.motostyle.jp/moto/mens-shoes/2100/2100.html). I know they're pretty different styles, but I find both appealing.

I can feel winter coming -- are there any heattech-like options that can be worn under shirts with looser neck openings? None of my undershirts work under a Rick longsleeve.

Scissors.

Yeah I have just cut the necklines of all my Heattech long-sleeves. It's crude but worn as an under layer so no one sees it anyway.

[t3hg0suazn]

That was my backup option - good to know others are doing it too!

why don't u just wear two, or three? two silk/viscose longsleeves worn together is pretty warm, imo, and looks much better than wearing one with any other longsleeve.

What's the SZ opinion on Leon Louis? Have handeld (and bought) quite a few garments now from the current and previous season and I must say both quality and materials looks very good. Seems like they moved almost all production now to Italy as well but one very seldom see something here from Leon and I'm curious to why that is.

Guidi sizing

Can anyone help ? I want to buy a pair of Guidi boots on Japanese site Rakiten. However site says that a 41.5 is 28.5cm long. I have 6 pair of Guidis all in size 41 which all measure a little over 29cm. I'm wondering if Japanese Guidi sizing runs smaller than on boots cheer in USA or The EU. Anyone have the answer?

[lowrey]

no, they are not made for a specific market.

Also, you are talking about a 0.5-1cm difference which might depend on the way it was measured, measurement error, or simply the shape of the shoe. an outsole measurement only gives a rough idea of the fitment.
