Not much here as far as MC is concerned. If any of you guys are hunters or live where the weather gets bad on occasion hit me up before I list the following on teh bay. Everything is available.
Danner Gor-tex 9.5D X2

And some Florsheim shell long wings size 11.5 A

Does the shell fairy just drop these in your lap...what number is that for you? lol Seems like your always finding shell longwings

 

[Typhoid Jones]

Do you recall the size, by chance? That sure would be something if they were the same pair!

^^^ 10 1/2 D?

Grendel, you're right. I use it more for actual cleaning than conditioning. Andro, Obenauf's will condition as well but it's a wax and will be perfect for beeswax. It's actually really cool stuff that firefighters use to condition/protect their leather goods in harsh conditions.

Buy here: http://www.amazon.com/Obenaufs-LP-Boot-Preservative/dp/B0002X520S

Use: Clean shoes with some water just like normal shoes & let dry completely. Apply wax (I actually just use my fingers), if wax is too dry, you can hold a hair dryer over the container for a few seconds to get the wax useable. Wipe away excess and let dry for a few hours before applying another coat as needed. Let shoes dry thoroughly outside away from the sun for a few days before use.

I have to disagree. Saddle soap is a harsh cleaner and I wouldn't use it on any shoes or boots unless they had nasty grease or tar on them. Obenauf's is great stuff though.

Went to the salvo nearby and grabbed a few cool things. First was a sick north sails belt that fits. Also a linen shirt by burberry. Not sure if its real though... Can anyone help me on this?

You know damn well she stopped at my house today too....with a pair of somewhat elusive Hanover PTBs in Black.

Haha, then it's possible these may be them.

My wife and I were sitting around talking when I mentioned two pairs of Italian-made POLO by Ralph Lauren women's loafers in 7 1/2 B that I found earlier this week which were then promptly removed from my possession and conscripted for possible use with "cute summer outfits."

^^^ I haven't conditioned or polished them up for her yet, but you get the idea.

Do any of you guys get raided by your wives or girlfriends (or both

)?

Yes, indeed! but technically she only ever raids the money I make on the stuff I flip.

Recently:

Xenos never disappoints.

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys do for lunch / dinner when thrifting for most the day?

Make own and keep in car?

Or

Eat out?

I'll sometimes treat myself to a nice lunch or dinner if I strike out at several places. A consolation prize.

I really enjoy finding things my wife will like. I've found quite a few pairs of shoes for her (Ferragamos, Bean Boots, AE penny loafers, made in USA white bucks), sometimes in small men's sizes. All scarves I find go to her, including the recent Hermes.

Not sure about the label, but, the rest looks very Kiton to me.

A few things to look at while I compile my other pics.



Oxxford Glen Plaid Gossamer SC





Whats the deal with Etro ties? I assume there are fakes out there?

 

[vexco]

Picked up a Norman Hilton suit tagged 44T. Single-vented and quarter-lined. Pants are flat-front and uncuffed!! Available since it doesn't fit me for **** :|

 

[concealed]

I assume there are fakes, but I would probably grab em for a quick $10 profit mr. wes.
