say no to square toe.

Can shoes be resoled that are completely worn through? I seem to remember reading that they either can't or cobblers don't like to take on this kind of repair.

If the sole is soft, yes but if it's a hole probably not. Maybe topy and you're set?

 

[JackFlash]

No, not light wear, straight up hole.

 

[BennyFazio]

Pop. Legit?

Some stuff from this week.





I pass on Bills Khakis these days, but these fleck tweed M2s were too cool to pass up.





This one made me sad. Current and mint (not sure if it's even been worn more than once or twice, if at all.)


Got it cheap because of this.



Polo Suede







Zegna fabric



Hoping the REO promo tape is still what it was originally labeled as. It had a "Sears commercial" sticker over "REO Speedwagon". -_-



And I dug this out of the closet a few weeks ago. Forgot I even had it. I picked it up at a sale this summer. 1950's kid's Navy sailor costume (just the jacket and the hat). Fits my son and he likes it, so I guess this is what he will be for Halloween this year.

I feel like the Berluti outranks the square toe.
People go a bit blind when they see such high end brands ahah

Fair point lol

Moreso the fact that Spoo's the one selling it > Berluti > square toes.

He's gotta be extra on the grind for his new Ferrari fund.

Not the first time someone did the grind for a Ferrari

Damn, does anyone else feel like @Nataku always finds the nicest patterns in suits and sport coats??

Yes, but it requires a lot of work. This first video shows a pair with a hole in the sole"



Different type of repair, but these shell Aldens were chewed up by a dog, guy did pa pretty good job:

 

[SpooPoker]

Does the square toe matter for resale? I think it's so blah. @SpooPoker

say no to square toe.

Moreso the fact that Spoo's the one selling it > Berluti > square toes.

This is a new pair, unsold and still an ambitious price, but this is one of the most desirable styles of Berluti - I personally dont like it at all but they go for good coin.

I had some C&Js re-crafted where I had worn the sole through to the cork, and they came back fine.
