@smoothsailor It’s a bit of a mix I guess. I strongly prefer full leather uppers for reasons unrelated to aesthetics, but the way they age is a nice bonus It surprised me to see how much they’ve darkened up—if you’d asked me before I ordered the replacements, I would have guessed they started off brown

Caught in the act Ues + Cane’s
-
Far from the standard fare, here, but I can never resist a direct old vs. new comparison La Sporta Mythos Eco, old ones have seen around 3 years as training shoes, 2 front resoles (fourth photo), and enough hand stitching on the uppers (second photo) to call it a day
-
Could be! I don’t know why, but I had 1975 in my head; that’s part of what was confusing me. Good thought
-
^ Sorry, means the shanks of the hidden rivets. My mistake
-
Anyone here recognize these? Def. MP-series, but I don't think I've ever seen those rivet backs. The bar tack on the fly is also throwing me for a loop; I think that rules out the 597 or the 603. (Anyone here a size 26?)
-
@chicote Their sizing supposedly varies quite a bit between lasts. I’ve had good experiences emailing them in the past to confirm—but also each of their product pages generally lists a suggested foot length range for each model, which I’ve found to be reliable
-
@Alec Leamas Yeah, those ones are built like tanks. The soles themselves are wearing through near the heels, so I need to figure out how to replace those, but otherwise they're in great shape.
-
You’re not wrong, I’ve def. put on a few in the past year…

Display jeans came in
-
The Flat Head SNK-01 Great kicks, would get another pair if I could. Buttery soft leather and solid construction. Not worth MSRP (at least for my use case), but they used to show up on Yahoo pretty regularly for like 50% off and at that point it was hard to complain
-
Mill Reef Gallop Oxfords, got these from Canvas in late 2020 Really cool shoes but they didn’t hold up great. Main complaint is the rubber at the heel coming delaminated and flapping around within just the first year or so; they haven’t seen a ton of wear since then
-
Old Nigel Cabourn joints, got them on sale from Speedway in maybe 2018 Really like the discoloration of the canvas at high-sweat points, and the way the tongue has held creases and the laces have worn through the taping
-
What’s their deal? Where did you purchase, etc.? Never heard of them, but I’ve been thinking for a few months now about re-entering a sneakers era
-
That’s hard to believe, I’ve tried 4 different Lofgren laces now and they’ve been 4 of the 5 worst laces I’ve ever tried
-
Was that the place on Valencia a couple blocks up from the old Self Edge location? I remember them having a nice selection and seeming friendly enough, but the whole vibe being absolutely horrendous, all white and clean room feeling
-
Finally got hot here + Limes in my shirt pocket tumblers in my bag Tilley / Bubo x3 / Cabourn
-
I’m really jealous of those. Passed on them when they came out because I was tired of Warehouse’s tiny + flimsy pocket bags and didn’t want to commit to another pair, but I saw them in S&S a few months ago and was surprised to see full-length bags made from a nice medium weight bull denim…they were all out of my size, though, as was everyone else by then. Oh well—your pair’s looking fantastic @olmecasteve
-
Expensive fashion boots are nothing new Forget Clinch or Role Club, you’d probably get a better product from any of the standard brands in the $8–1200 range
-
Dope. Details seem very close to the Foreman pants though and through, with patch pockets
-
Very cool scores. Would be interested in seeing some more detail shots of the sack jeans, since they never made the rounds

Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.
julian-wolf replied to cmboland's topic in superdenim
A few months ago, Buyee stopped charging any package consolidation fee, which has been a great improvement (even though the fee was never huge to begin with). Now it’s easy to just wait until I have 3–4 things in their warehouse then bundle them together; international shipping has been much cheaper this way -
Tender non-anniversary tux, Tilley cap, Tezo tee, Russell mocs
-
New bag maiden voyage + The start of corn season + Bad afternoon lighting Union Special / Bubo / Warehouse / Hollows / The Vanishing West / Birkenstock

@reallypeacedoff Hope you’ve got some Kevlar and pads on under all that denim…
