Jerome and Marc, you guys have got the goods as well!Marc Chevalier said:Cheaterome and flat-top, your collections are incredible! :eusa_clap

Marc Chevalier said:And would you believe they didn't sell well when I auctioned them off via eBay? I was flabbergasted. They're from the '30s. A 9 1/2 C size. Ended up going for about $85 to someone in Japan.

The Wingnut said:I'm contemplating taking them to a shoe repair shop and having them very throughly cleaned...
The Wingnut said:Sounds like good advice. Any suggestions as to cleaning the yellowed / dirty areas...?
The Wingnut said:... and restoring the color to the areas where it's worn off a bit?
The Wingnut said:I've had trouble finding decent flat laces at all!
Not vintage but I believe that I've seen them at a few Parisian cobblers, though I can't recall which ones. You might contact this gentleman, he would probably know.Marc Chevalier said:The one and only difficulty will be in replacing the light grey flat laces once the originals wear out. I've been trying for two years to find a pair
