*** Visvim thread: Dissertation on a Japanese Holy Spirit ***

[ZanderRosen]

I used obenauf's on all my ****. I used to use saphir but I grew to not like it. Visvim actually puts out a shoe care kit with a cream and everything that's just re-branded saphir

I just threw a coat of Obenauf’s for the first time on my Black 7 Holes today.. should I wait 24 hours and reapply a second coat? Been reading mixed experiences online. And it’s only the leather to coat, right? Not the canvas? I did all the leather, including the toe box, lace eyelet area, heel counter, top of “tongue”, and the logo (all leather).

Nowhere did it say wait a day before wearing, but other people were saying that’s what they have done. Any thoughts guys?

I would let it dry over night. Wipe and brush with a horsehair brush after.

I do it on all leathers parts and do not use it on the canvas.

You do not need a second coat. Do NOT put on too much: that's what people do wrong the most. You only need a little bit. I use my bare fingers to apply a thin coat and then also use a horsehide dauber to make sure it gets in the little areas.

For those who own or tried on the 103 and 104 jackets, those run noticeably tighter than a 101 in the same size, yeah? I've been looking at those and 102s cause I already have a few 101s.

103 is definitely a size up 1 job

Are there any visvim stockists that offer a discount on your first order?
Only one I can think of is Revive but I’ve ordered from then in the past. And Notre but they don’t have my size.
Help me a cheap skate and skim ~$100 off

Dope, but they don’t have what I want (size 12 Virgil’s or 7-holes)

Went to the Trunk Show today. Season is looking good - standouts for me were a giza cotton dotera, mud dyed nylon coach's jacket, down filled 101 (similar to the kerchief jacket but softer). Nylon thorson is making a comeback in grey and the fit is much better (less oversized) than the first release. Stand out shoes were the Grizzlies (maybe the most wearable version to date) and the Rolands with tweed/linen blend instead of the mesh. I just wish they made them without the head dress image.

Think lots of nylon, denim, and wool (there's a wool 101).

And the Douglas jacket with the dragon stitching....it is very nice. It will cost you your 4th child but it is very nice.

Thanks. Any decent footwear ?

Top for me were the Grizzlies (dark brown, light brown, navy, black) with a low Danite Sole and suede and bison mix and the Roland Joggers with the tweed and suede mix in some warm colors. The Fall 18 Grizzlies are the most wearable version I've seen, low to the ground and mid-weight so nowhere near as heavy as the Virgils or other Grizzlies. I ordered the dark brown.

standouts:

SKAGWAY LO - velour skags, really nice
HOLLIS HI (SIXTH MAN) - basketball leather sneaker, like a cross between pf flyer and converse
ROLAND JOGGER (VEG SUEDE) - suede + tweed, also think these are nice but wouldn't pay retail
FBT PRIME RUNNERS - new hybrid with suede + mesh on toebox of fbt
SKAGWAY HI KILTIE (ITA VEGGIE) - looks like the urushi shiny leather theyve used
HALF-DOME DUCK BOOT-FOLK - really chunky duck boots

actually didn't like the grizz at all, had frillies on the ankle and no TPU heelcap (new hiroki vibram sole)

SUPERDENIM has a small buy up including the Grizzlies in camel.

 

[Jahfire23]

Please help on sizing for the yucca moc folk boat shoes. My TTS is 10. I wear a 9.5 FBT.

 

[Chaconne]

Does anyone use shoe trees with their FBTs?
