The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

That aint nothin.

Wipe down with acetone and that will reduce some of the fine wrinkling, as that's partly caused by excess polish. However that's also caused by long term wear and not helped by the fact that Church's uses some kinda weird leather sometimes. Then condition and re-color the faded areas and scratches.

Treat the sole edges, throw some new Cordo-Hyde brown waxed round 30" laces on there and you're set. Assuming the soles aren't BTFO.

My two cents...I'd keep the acetone bottle far away from these shoes - they are polished binder / bookbinder and will eat right through the finish and discolor the uppers. These shoes don't have caked on polishes or creams.

A resole is likely in order, there's some cracking on the bottom, they're definitely well worn. At $6 I'm ok if it's not worth it.

Actually I didn’t. It’s one size larger than mine. If you are interested, I could do it for you though.

^ Nice finds. Those first 3 jackets are bangers.

Anyone notice that Nordstroms now has a big rack/display of Hiroshi Kato stuff? Was there the other day and was surprised to see such a brand at such a big retailer.
