    Thrift UK Advice

    Quote: I posted the above in the official thrift thread just over 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't get any responses. I was tempted to send a quick email to the guys at putthison.com asking for advice, I figured it would be just as beneficial to open this question up to a wider...

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

    Yeah I'll try them on prior to rolling them and if they seems a bit baggy length wise then I'll get them altered. Will need to find a decent place that specialises in denim alterations.

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

    Thanks. I do want something a bit slimmer. Something that looks smarter with boots and shoes etc. My only real issue now is the length as I'm 6ft and the 34" legs are going to make them very baggy. Will need to look at getting them altered.

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

    Ok this might be a weird request. I'm currently around a 36 waist in normal non selvedge jeans. So think 501s or Diesel jeans for example. Ideally I'd like to get down to a 34 and use a nice pair of jeans as extra motivation to drop a bit of weight from the waistline. Obviously this means I...

    Really liking my new boots. Might go with grey trousers as unsure about blue. Will obviously work well wiith denim at some point so I'm probably just being stupid as they are new.

    I ordered some lexol conditioner a couple of weeks ago and it still hasn't arrived. I asked for recommendation for brushes and cloths a couple of pages back and I think it got missed

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Yeah it's definitely a lot of practice. At least I've got the right products now. Renovateur has made a real difference already in terms of the condition of the shoes. Will invest in better brushes and clothes.

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Followed the advice in the OP and I'm not 100% sure on the results. I've ordered a better horsehair brush and don't think a cut up cotton t-shirt is doing enough in terms of the shine. Shoes are maybe 2 months old and have been worn 5 times. The image quality and light isn't great so they...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Asked this in another but have just seen this thread. What is the recommended brush to go with for leather boots and shoes? looking to use it to remove dirt and will use a cloth for the next few steps. I take it a large oval brush is the way to go? if someone can point my in the right...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Are people picking up much in the UK? I've looked around some charity shops and found nothing even close to this quality. I live in a small middle class town so you think it would be a decent a spot. I know the US has a lot more second hand stores so maybe I'm just missing out.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    I'll show you a better picture. That's a good point that you raise and something I can use in my correspondence with meermin. Sorry about the quality, was taken on my phone. That does looks very thin/poor quality though doesn't it?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    I asked this in another thread but figured I'd get a response here. I bought some black calf shoes awhile back - have only worn them 5 times and they have a tear/split on the side/near the heel of the right shoe. It's disappointing as I've walked under a mile in the shoes and very little of...

    WAYWRN: Shoe & Boot Edition

    I'm just on holiday on the east coast unfortunately. I think I can just about stretch to £300 if it's for the right boots. The VAT pushes it to £354 so it's over £100 above my budget. Hmmm.

    Very good. Thoughts on these? a little over budget but I love them on first glance. http://www.cheaney.co.uk/country-leisure/95/cheaney-tweed-country-boots-in-dark-leaf

    WAYWRN: Shoe & Boot Edition

    Ohh that was the exact reason for my first post, I've get waaaay less knowledge than a lot of you guys so want to find out as much as possible before purchasing. Really like the dovedales that were mentioned, if only they had a leather sole. ...

    WAYWRN: Shoe & Boot Edition

    I am yeah. Actually in the US at the moment but return from Boston in a few days. Looked in a few places over here but as I mentioned in my first post Brooks Brothers is outside of my price range. I'm not in a huge rush. It's a big purchase for me so want to make sure I make a good decision.

    WAYWRN: Shoe & Boot Edition

    Thanks, that's really helpful. I'll look at all of those now. I mentioned segs earlier, one of the reasons I mentioned leather soles is because I've always had metal segs fitted to leather soles to make sure they last. It means I'm put off by rubber soles - am I right in thinking I'd only be...
