    Thrifted a leather jacket. Will Lexol suffice for conditioning?

    I like bic 4 for leather conditioner for bigger leather goods. I have used it on a few thrifted jackets. They also have a cleaner.

    Storing cufflinks, watches, etc...

    I use a few different cigar boxes that I lined with felt from Michaels crafts. Works well for my watch needs. Although now I need to get some winders for my automatic watches.

    I'm thinking about buying these brown leather sneakers, what colors/outfits match them well?

    I know that you posted in the wrong section but... Dark jeans and a leather jacket. Just remember to match your shoes and belt. Personally I would go with nice brown boots. In a few years when you graduate you have to grow up and "high top sneakers" do not cut it. Just research in this...

    So I was given a Jos A Bank gift card for Xmas.

    I would get shoe trees. They are a good deal in my mind with the "buy one get two free". Otherwise just sell the card. Depending on how much is on it, I would buy it. To purchase shoe trees and ceder hangers.

     I have two pairs of shoes with toe and heel taps. Pro: They seem of of extended the length of the shoe. The heel is not very worn for how much they are worn. Con: They are loud on hard floors(at least mine are). My one pair of dexter shoes with toe/heel taps sound like a horse...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

     Those places are hit or miss. There is one that I go to at the beach which is a small fishing community. Last summer I got some northface t-shirts (for the gym), a northface hoodie, and some glassware. I would say it is definitely worth a shot.

     Very nice jacket. I am on the search for a similar jacket. I found one that was made by GAP but am still looking for a better quality one. Out of curiosity, was the photo taken at the park where you can watch airplanes off of 176 (dorsey road)?

    How often do you get your hair cut?

    I strive for every two weeks but sometimes wait 4 for it to get "seedy looking" as my mother calls it. My hair grows extremely fast.

     Maby he is making an archery target. People use old clothes, bags, rags, ect for the filling. I have one that I made out of old clothes and rags. They are referred to as "life time diy targets". You just replace the front material every season or so depending on how much you shoot. The...

    Help me save up and move out!

    I am still in school, work, and live at home. I have an awesome relationship with my parents so this is not hurting it at all. I have been offered a good job in 3-4 months after I graduate, but I still will live at home until I am financially stable to be in the real world. I am putting no...

    Morning shower or face wash?

    I shower at night before I go to bed and in the morning when I wake up. In the morning I do the same as I did at night, but I also wash my face. My cat also loves me and insists on sleeping in my bed/ being with me whenever I am home. So that makes me feel like a shower is needed. Plus I...

    Most stylish jackets for downhill skiing

    I have had luck with North Face with all of my skiing clothing. I think that they can be stylish but not something that stands out.

    Going gray early? (Mid-twenties)

    I first noticed some gray hairs when I was 16. I am still mainly brown though. My brother has a small patch of gray and he is 18. My grand father was completely gray in his late 30's but had thick hair. I am just happy that my family grays instead of balds. Having thick hair (even gray) is...

    shaving...

    Personally I like my old Gillette's. I am pretty sure the newest one I have is from the early 60's. Super speeds work great and are tame shavers. I like the feeling of using a (properly cleaned) razor that is 50+ years old. It makes me think that I am shaving more like my grandfathers. I...

    Rock hard leather inner and outer soles can beat your poor feet to a pulp. Here's what I do....

    Personally I am a 23 year old male who wears dress shoes or cowboy boots almost exclusively. I find dress shoes very comfortable once broken in if they are in the right size. While working I wear redwings but that is because I am on concrete 10 hours a day walking all except my 30min lunch.

    Old shoes - resole, donate or toss?

    If it is a shoe that I wear often and is comfortable then definitely resole. If I do not wear it often then I would probably toss it. Really comfortable dress shoes are hard to find for me. So when I find them I keep them.
