    Has Anyone Sent Shoes Back To The Manufacturer?

    The check came in the mail today. It only took a few weeks. The shoe cobbler still has the shoe and hasn't completed the repair yet.

    My Favorite Shoe Polish on my Favorite Work Boots

    Without a doubt, the absolute worse shoe sold on a large scale. Rothco Jungle Boots. If there was ever an example of "mass produced with the least expensive parts", this is it. The "leather" toe & heel are questionable. The footbed is cardboard. I add an insole. And the advantage is the...

    Has Anyone Sent Shoes Back To The Manufacturer?

    That was a poorly conceived program. Were the corporate executives so disillusioned, that they actually thought that their shoes could last forever? Some shoe sellers offer recrafting, which the customer pays for. It currently costs upwards of $200 USD for a factory recraft. A similar...

    Your High School Jacket - if you could go back

    In the late 90's, those jackets probably retailed at around 3 to 4 times what you paid. In that decade, they manufactured for a lot high priced brands. I hate to break it to you now, decades too late......... you probably could have haggled over the price.

    Has Anyone Sent Shoes Back To The Manufacturer?

    I wanted to buy a pair. My plan was to actually wear them all the time. I ride a motorcycle. I really wanted to see how long those boots would last. I did not buy them. I wanted to wait. I wanted to see how they administered the program and how they handled the claims. Next thing that you...

    Your High School Jacket - if you could go back

    Golden Bear. Off the discount rack. I lived half a block away from North Beach Leathers on the corner of Grant & Green. Too expensive.

    Your High School Jacket - if you could go back

    I'm guilty of wearing the MA-1, M-65, and Dr. Martens. I wore the leather jacket whenever I rode my bike. I rode a motorcycle to school as weather permitted. I wore the MA-1 if I wasn't riding. The M-65 was what I wore when it got cold, because it had a liner. I don't have the Dr. Martens...

    Your High School Jacket - if you could go back

    I still have my leather jacket from high school. It fit perfectly back then, as I was not as fat. I can still squeeze into it. It's a tight fit now. Sort of like what some Fedora Lounge forum think of as a good fit. Not for me. I need to be able to move in the jacket. I now have several...

    Did you brew the coffee into a beverage? Or just eat the coffee grounds?

    Experimenting on foods.

    Nothing is wasted. Chicken wing tips are used for stock. After simmering the wing tips for a few hours, the little bits of skin, meat, cartilage........ melt right off the bones. Sure, there's not much. But it's still edible. That's why some people actually buy just the chicken wing tip.

    Fashion brands leather jackets: Is it worth the price tag?

    I do not wear my gun belt over my jacket. My gun belt is attached to my pants belt. There is no need for me to have belt keepers on my jacket.

    Self Rediscovery

    Twenty years later, she looked exactly like her mug shot from when she was 20. They say that Asian women age well. Or maybe she just did a really good job with hair and make-up. She was wearing what I thought of as a costume. Nobody dressed like that anymore. Mandarin gowns were what the...

    Florsheim Shoes

    Thanks to the internet, you can find "celebrity cobblers" with youtube channels, and online cobblers. I've never used any of them. In my area, there are still cobblers. They are a dying breed. Most are over 50, without a line of succession. Nobody is coming into the apprenticeship. When...
