Video is pretty tight and has definitely put me on to Marco's work, which is brilliant, but I just can't get over what a cunt kanye is. I can't believe how much his music sucks these days. Time for him to check out of the game. Smfh at his wackness...

Bump. Considering trades and offers. Whachugot?

For sale is a gently worn (10-11 times) pair of Flathead F310's tag size 29x36. Soaked once. Minor damage to hem and pocket stitching (pics).

Still plenty of life left in these unfortunately my fat ass doesn't want to get into them anymore. Looking to sell quickly. $135obo

Measurments:

Waist: 15.5 inches (aligned)

Rise: 9.5 inches

Thigh: 10.5 inches

Inseam: 34.5 inches

Leg Opening: 7.5 inches

Very interested in trading sz. 29 f310's. Sent you a pm. Holla back!

Very very interested in the belts. I love that "wire" buckle. Thanks for all the posts Bill. Great stuff!

^+rep. Thanks for the article. With all the talk about Gordon on this forum he has an almost mythical status. It's good to hear his thoughts on the Japanese denim industry. Hope I can make it to BiG in person soon...

Those are lookin real nice so far. Whiskers are beautiful. Wash or soak?

Isn't it bad luck to put a worn pair of shoes on a table or bed?

I guess that must have been terrible luck then because these are WELL worn.

While "beat to shit" is definitely a part of my joy for the type of shoes in this thread, the upkeep (waxing, polishing, general maintenance) is a big part of what makes this whole thing special...Anyone can beat up a pair of boots/shoes but it's the work and effort one puts in to the upkeep that makes a world of difference when talking about aging well, patina, beauty over time, etc. (esp. for fine leathers ie: cordovan)

Or maybe I'm just a hippie?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I definitely agree with all of you. These unfortunately have developed holes in the soles, hence semi-retired and "beat to shit". But they are incredibly comfortable and I love the fit. I have a nice well worn pair of beeswax db's and florsheim monk strap's that get a lot of care and attention. Pictures of those on the way.

Cosign to being a hippie.

^ I'm definitely in that group of people who like their shoes beat to shit.

My favorite semi-retired 3 year old Clarks db's:

Wish I had my own pair to try this out on...

^ I handwashed them with a little dr. B's before I let them soak.

Update: they were drying and got caught in a rain/hail storm. Exclusive hail wash APC's on the way!

I've had my PS's for just over 2 years. Stopped wearing them about 8 months ago due to crotch blowout. Decided to soak overnight outside in a wash bin. First soak they're getting since I bought them. Post soak pics to follow tomorrow...

I have a feeling sufu is gonna be bad for my social life.
