I purchased my Sorel's in 1994 when living in Alaska and they are still going strong. I live in the snow belt of Massachusetts now and use them a lot. Not sure of resell value but they are the best overall purchase I have made to date (or at least the one that has lasted me the longest).
Congrats! Do you guys thrift baby wear?
Didn't go thrifting yesterday, but I did pick up a new Paisley. L'shana tovah.
Nat, this is the grail vintage outerwear to be on the look out for, no? Sadly, no hood.
Am I kopping Sorel Caribous for twenty bucks
99% of thrift stores do not know what shell cordovan is, so prices are the same as other shoes (usually, between $5-12).
I think I've seen shell in a thrift twice, neither of which were in buyable condition. Then you get some regulars here who seem to find a pair or two a month. Same with good brands, it's pretty much luck of the draw/right place right time/location (sort of).That's just sick. How often do you actually find shell cordovan or shoes from good brands, regardless of what size you are using? I've only been to a thrift shop a couple times, and I didn't find anything "good" than a PRL corduroy jacket and boot cut Prada jeans. I guess people in my city don't dress well.

Oh, I know the miracles of horse butt. Cracks and tears on the other hand...Holes and huge gouges aside, most condition issues on old shell are addressed surprisingly well with simple buffing.
