    Good Finds (eBay/yahoo/etc.)

    those look great but in terms of quality, its laughable. i've posted about it when i bought a pair from a sufu user but it broke down within a day i kid you not - problems were exacerbated due to it having been kept in storage too long. seller was local, nice enough to take it back though.

     

    but yeah, the sole will start to loosen from the upper (happening already ^^^), pieces of it will crack and break off too, and neon appliques will peel off. so yeah, i advise against buying those rafs.

     

     

    the glue used on the runners is really poor - melts at low temperature and is very weak. on my aw12 pair the rubber toe cap/sole was already peeling after the first wear. after less than a dozen the rubber pieces were falling off.

     

    i left them in my trunk during work on a normal day and found the glue completely melted and the foam soles were sliding off of the uppers before my eyes. i've had other shoes sitting in my car for weeks in the summer that held up completely fine.

     

    can be fixed and re-done with an actual good shoe adhesive, but some of the pieces are going to be hard to glue back correctly because the sole is comprised of multiple pieces that stack and wrap around each other.

    WAYWT destroyed my life (2014)

    Dude you look good in a way that would appeal to a lot of people if you like dressing this way very much and it makes you happy I am also very happy for you, but 

    I wanted to say it the last time someone wore a bomber with leather derbies (uc ma-1 with 1461s iirc) but I'm going to say what's been bothering me for a while now instead and maybe you'll change your views too:

     

    Unless you want to sort of look a little more like a skin for whatever reason (which I doubt), 

    the combination of a bomber jacket with traditional leather shoes makes no fucking sense at all.

     

    You see, conventionally, a typical MA-1 style jacket (well, yours has an asymmetric zip which is a detail I personally loathe on bomber jackets but it's still very much a bomber jacket) is constructed out of water-resistant and a tough nylon and is designed to ensure unobstructed movement inside a cramped space (cockpits which gradually got smaller as aviation technology got more advanced).

    It's the embodiment of a new age of garments out of new materials and new conditions we have to shield ourselves from. 

     

    Durable, Unobtrusive/Light, Warm/Safe.

     

    The Bomber Jacket emerged in the post ww2 jet age when the western world has slowly recovered from shock the horrors of the senseless bomb war in europe, brutalist architecture with its raw honesty popped up left and right, in another 20 years mankind would have shot gigantic steel tubes strapped with explosives to the moon to let some dude walk up on there for a few minutes. 

     

    Later, the bomber jackets found their way into civilian wear and are still used today for their practicality and durability.

     

     

    Now your shoes are styled after victorian era leather shoes with an cushioned orthopedic sole tacked on.

    It makes for a great casual leather shoe when you want to dress up a bit not, but compared to the wealth of shoes we have available today, they are uncomfortable with prolonged use, have to be kept dry because of the leather and are quite heavy and clunky to walk in.

     

    So all in all, the only parts of your outfit worth noting where the eyes are drawn to, the outermost layer and your shoes, don't get along at all.

     

    The only coherence between those two items is the most shallow of them all, color, and honestly it makes you look really silly.
