Two things:

How do I research these or sneakers in general? I don't know anything about sneakers but they were $4 and good condition.








Second, what is "the method"? I pass on a lot of shirts I would otherwise get due to collar/pit sweat stains. Also have ~15 shirts in the basement that I'm not willing to list right now with staining.

Usually by the numbers on the tongue, at least I know that from Nike, but I'm not finding anything on any of the numbers on that label.
As for the method regarding collars, I just spray the collar with water, load it up with Oxyclean powder, spray again until the oxy is a paste, rub in a little, wait a day, wash out/throw in washer under dress shirt setting. If it's truly just the collar and not the pits, I try to avoid washing the whole thing because of wrinkling.

@Lirum If you want a more in depth explanation, there is a thread dedicated to it that I came across a while ago. I believe the method was from @Versace Guy but that thread has pages of Q&A about stains. I think I used the search function and typed remove wool stains or something like that. I would link it but on my phone and also lazy.

Naw dog, it ain't me. I have a ruined Charvet shirt from attempted stain removal to prove it ain't me.

My orphan reunion suit from Friday. Probably the best condition of any suit I've ever found.








And a bunch of other junk

I looked up the thread to make sure I wasn't totally crazy...it's someone named Versaceman that now goes by Vman.

Also picked up this e-thrift for myself thinking it was a checkbook cover, but i think it is going to be too large. No biggie.
