This seems like a steal, someone should jump on this.

After that one Cheetos commercial, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a whole bunch of people with Cheetos menageries.

Anybody know the brand or familiar with this logo? I cannot find it anywhere.

Used to be highly regarded.
Maybe not quite so much anymore.

Used to be all made in England, but possibly some of their shoes are now made in India.

 

[JaShredder]

Thanks guys for answering. These are made in India and are in very nice like new condition. Sadly they do not fit.

They are transparent about that : "Designed by us in our studio, lasts developed in Northamptonshire by us, patterns developed by our pattern makers, leathers sourced by our leather buyer, prototypes made in our factory to final sign off and then taken to our partner, a beautiful handmade factory in India, where they are made and shipped back to us for inspection and final polishing where required."

They are transparent about that : "our partner"

Translation: the contract factory we pay to do all the REAL work

I would’ve stuck out my neck and asked if it was available, but that price may have been a bit of a reach...

Annual rummage sale a local church. Always do well there. In this case, instakop first, research later. Five bucks. I believe these are 1970s bench made hiking boots from the Swiss company Molitor. These things are like tanks. They weigh over 3 pounds each (LOL, not my preferred hiking boot). Fantastic shape with only surface scratches. What are the best options for surface treatment prior to sale? Bick 4 or something else? Experts, any advice appreciated.

Wow. The factory was made by hand? Super luxe!

I’d get some Nikwax stuff for leather boots. It’s designed to keep the leather supple and waterproof, so should do well for these. Mink oil also works.

Not sure if I posted these yet.
Who the hell donated brand new sunglasses,and American Opticals.really impressed with the quality on the AO may turn them into sunglasses for personal.

Brand new Adidas Gripper lows. They seem to be in time travel condition from the 80s — not the early 2000’s reissue — but can someone confirm.

Probably never even tried on, as they’ve still got the laces all bundled up under the tongue.

Memory slipping is this a thing?
