^ unless you buy jeans with spandex, otherwise that is natural for most jeans

or

Wash or soak your jeans and that should bring back to original.

I'm thinking about buying these http://www.armysurplusworld.com/product.asp?ProductID=3151 and getting them resoled. How much would that cost/should I do it?

what type of sole are you looking at? usually range around $65-85 for vibram. But it could cost more for othe sole..

congratulation edmond...look like a fancy place there too

did you buy her any superfuture related present for her when prosposed?

^ Oil it should darken much more than conditioner

aging and beat up beautifully on the alden and whites...beautiful

4totally off topic, but what do people think about coloured denim? I once nearly picked up a Vivienne Westwood Anglomania green denim jacket, but i didn't get it, and i've always slightly regretted it

Colored denim is fine with me, especially there is time that i want to rotate different color jeans. Never saw the VW green denim jacket, but green denim is little too sharp for my personal taste. But i trust your taste that the VW must be a good one.

The past few page is absolutely fantastic, from emmit sand down his trickers to Daveo clean up his stink and Rodeo posting so much pics on his trip. And with few new Alden and C&J and RW, we can expect more evo pics in few months:)

what kind of fit is the levi's 606 from the 60s?

super awesome , rodeo bill!!

thanks for taking the time scanning during work and posting it on here!!

i want the boot book too, wish i can get one somewhere in hk later

^ glad it work abit, daveo:)

thanks any opinions on the jcrew x redwing?

if you are looking for anything similar to the 875, the j.crew x RW seems to be a good option. Major difference would be the color but the sole is much long lasting than the crepe sole on 875. Get it if the price is right.

on a mildly related note,

how important do you guys think it is to match the color of your leather belt and leather shoes? I don't think it's terribly important, but I have a friend who thinks that they should match down to the grain of the leather. Personally I think casual belts work with casual shoes, and dressier belts work with dressier shoes, and the color of each is secondary to putting together a good overall outfit.

Your thoughts?

not important at all for me when wearing casual wear, never match belt with shoe, most of the time, my shirt cover up the belt anyway...but for formal wear wear when the shirt was tuck in. I prefer the belt be at least similar tone as the shoe.

nice belt you make there, emmit

excellent post with the clip! waiting for other updated for the top 3 spots there. man...i definately must visit faith when i visit Taiwan again

just curious, are these legit? can't imagine why they would be going for so cheap. there's a ton of different sizes in this model from the same seller.

i think those are legit. From past few years, there have been alot of 875, 877, or other floating around. And past few days, there is a BUNCH of j.crew x RW on ebay as well. All going for low prices. But most of the time, the item can be factory second.

beautiful pair, i have been starring at Bill's feet for so long too and i guess now you are on my list. Post a fit pics would you when you have time. Absolutely beautiful!! you totally size down one, but i guess the width makes up the differences...

i think go with the true waist size but size up 3/4 for the shrinkage on the inseam. With my experience, the waist will stretch about another 1-1.5 inches more after you wear it more.

excellent work hollowsleather, how long does it takes you to do it?

fattybfat, info on those grey ones please!

those are ted baker x trickers

I am in love with natural heel and base...and considering buying this , it includes three of my favorite parts ( grey suede, natural base, and brogue)

but find the grey suede difficult to match, any recommendation or thought on these, anyone?

emmitbrown:

excellent post, +rep!

well, you only sand off the front/side, correct? not the heel right? i can see the heel still have the ink on it. Anyway, what i find it most intersting is that i actually really love the natural color of the side after it got sand down a bit. Indeed, i am looking to see if i can resole with a natural heel and base when mine worn out. Those are the expresso isnt it?

i dont see anything to worry at all except for some reason someone stole it.

it dosent matter which you used, it works the same, just tanned it to whatever you think looks good to you, wear it and condition the belt once in a while...that's all you need. Doesnt have to be specific on when to do what. Just wear the hell out of it and that is all you need.

Thanks! Raw denim!!!

not worrying about indigo stain or does the C&J held up pretty good against it?
