Skavant, just let it go. Scratch is unavoidable for ramones.

[gregor]

^it really is. the toe cap attracts scratches and dirt like nothing else. if there's a visible mark you could try just going over it with leather paint, but i wouldn't recommend it.

or, just get a new pair

[skavant]

Thank you guys for the advice. I guess that I should just leave it then. Well this pair has lasted for 3 years so I couldn't ask for more.

People don't want their Rick sneakers to be beat up anymore? Is this a new thing?

[casem]

Haha, yea I was gonna say just let it go. The first scratch on any beloved new pair of shoes hurts, but give it time and you won't care anymore.

Do you guys think this kind of wrinkles on my soft horse leather Guidi boots are normal or I need to take care more of them? Since I have no experience of leather boots, please give me some advice! Thanks!

RO double layer tee in cotton or viscose/silk and why?

[bonejelly]

Does anyone have experience with dyeing ventile cotton fabric? Black fabric has been well worn and a refresh of dark would be nice, but am concerned about the density of the weave. Don't believe it is treated/coated with anything otherwise.

Anyone have any experience shipping items to EU via EMS? Returning an item to a retailer and tracking shows it "cleared customs, but is pending pick up by addressee". Been a week like this now. Retailer says this is customs process and is typical for shipments into EU.

Maybe I should've used DHL.

Customs typically takes a day or two to clear unless it needs to be declared, which depends on the destination country and what you marked on the customs form. I don't see why it would show "waiting for pick up" unless its actually ready to be picked up.

Have you tried tracking it through the destination country's postal service? Might show more detailed info on the location.

Should have thought of checking destination tracking system. More info was provided there indeed. Thank you.

How do you all feel about A1923 sneakers? I've heard they run a size small but that's about it. Any opinions?

They are really comfortable in my experience!

Ok, please don't laugh at me, but I finally received my CCP drips and I think the drips themselves are so uncomfortable to walk on.
How long does it take for them to wear down?
