😉 You know that Wesco leather ‘amore’ is a combination of lubricant additive, herbicide, laundry soap and olive oil?

Is this the stuff you use on that armchair?

😂

😔 Renapur is good though … I bought that from AA Crack when I was getting Saphir supplies - good to see what differences there were … which turned out to be not much really. Probably a bit less ‘intense’ with ingredients so perhaps why you feel it soaks in better. Aside from the amounts used, I’m pretty sure the type of leather and its finish will account for much of the ‘problems’ folk might be experiencing with one product or the other

These are guys applying/advocating large amounts of renovateur (renovator) and one recommended vinegar for cleaning? Wow

Thanks Carl - I’m always amazed and delighted at the range of ideas folk bring to me

I have never heard of that being specific to a product I think I’ve said before - when applying any conditioner, the amount you apply should be half (or less than) the smallest amount you could imagine practical. 4 medium and 1 very large bag, and about 15-16 belts worth of usage

Exactly that

What was the issue you had mate? I’ve used Saphir on a lot of different leathers and never had a problem of any kind.

@l13902733261 @julian-wolf I know Tokyo Sandal (RDT) and Zerrows have made a version that is stitched, and Yuketen have a version but what’s the benefit or upgrade here the Birkenstock boston?

That’s a Journeyman (with an extra flap for even more value) … not a Brakeman 🙄

I said ‘rarely’ and reserved for youth size normally. However the 51s are fairly often released in 30 (wash) length

What’s your chest measurement (as long as you don’t think me rude)?

🤣

47s have always been issued non-wash (not raw 🤨) and wash 34 length in non-wash only (I’ll need to check the catalogues tho’ to be 100%) 32 length in both non-wash and wash … and rarely 30 length wash which mostly came under youth sizing

Happy new year superdenim peeps - much happiness to you all I started with a pair of Bootleggers Steamrollers which now have half my daughter’s dinner on them

Just tap them down if they’re an issue to you (I could care less, but all my belts have deep scars)

Accurate or not bothered? Melton wool or not bothered? To me the Pike Bros shirt seems decent value - not quite one thing or another, but looks the part for reasonable cash

There’s no rule to say you can’t wear denim jackets and jeans as a set. There’s a lot more to differences in pattern too - thread colours, buttons, pocket shapes, belt loops etc … the list is pretty big As for colour - the 51s will be more blue looking than the 47s which are a bit darker almost black-blue

Thanks mate - and you too. Is that cloe horsehide?

Thank you very much
