magnificent as always @rodeo bill! even if i'll never get to experience wearing that liner in the tropics, just seeing the way yr things are made always makes me happy

calling @Double 0 Soul to reprise his investigation of shonky construction on the s003

of course i dearly wish it was my own, but i merely exquisite corpse it from the bard-that-doth-protest-too-much of brighton-le-sands 'imself, moz!

fixed it!

one thing tho, there's quite a reduction in length when u go down half a size. mine is an 8.5, the girth of the 8 probably is better, more comfortably snug for me, but the length is too short, was very noticeable when i tried em on. so i opted for the 8.5 and wear them with blundstone insoles, which are not that thick and solve the tiny bit too girthy feeling.

pretty cool oxidation on the copper eyelets, probably from not having been worn since the start of the pandemic lockdown (for me) in march during which i've worn shoes to go out a total of three times XD

this burgundy speed daemon is the only fw piece i came close to kopping. still like it. is it lightweight (for me it's better if it is)?

looks good, my old cone one was also sanforized i think, very little shrink if any

also inevitable question, how's the "handfeel" on the denim?

was reading buried histories, john roosa's latest book on the mass murder of indonesian communists in 1965-66, when i came across this sad, gory detail: ibnu had just returned from studying economics at uni of wisconsin-madison when he was executed. his exhumation can be seen starting from 1:03:27 in this documentary.

i'm (most indos are) used to wearing mask even before the pandemic, so i'm happy i have the options now to wear something that actually looks good!
