Hey now! Nobody has called you out for looking like... Marie Antoinette!

Can you hear the people sing? ?

I obviously mailed in the potato Pic quality. Quarantine has made me even more lazy than usual.

That is my dad's Korean War utility cap and some 1950s art craft superlight frames.

With absolutely no disrespect, you look like Martin Shkreli broke out of prison and is on the hunt for a Hydroxychloroquine factory.

I mean that in the nicest possible way I assure you

Turn of which century? Man I feel old, needing to clarify that.

Decided to jump right into it today and attempted to breathe some life back into some of these. My buddy has some better leather care products we are going to try later this week, but for now I used up some cheap 2-in-1 cleaner and conditioner I had laying around.

Here's after 1 coat.

1920s/30 with the curved Achilles heel treatment. The guys on the Vintage shoes thread would have some remedies. Massive clean followed by alcoholic level drink of Bick4 but probably a couple of months in Pecards after the clean up with stripper.

Loake 1880 export grade Trinity in burnt pine colour. Previous owner put a thin rubber sole on them but other than that they are barely worn. Some scruffs here and there, but nothing a little Saphir products won’t fix. Not 10% but more like 17% or so off retail. Still very thrilled about them as they fit just fine.

Just one boring ole tie today.

 

[txwoodworker]

I can smell that tie from here.

 

[illeagle]

I think the places are going to be cleaner now

I think more likely a more overwhelming, headache-inducing smell of Lysol and Febreeze.

Been hitting stores for the last 3 weeks, hand sanitizer on the counter, employees in masks, but still same Thrift Clothes smell throughout store
