    The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)

    That's what I'm thinking. He offered an even lower price, so I bit. Hoping it's that simple of a fix! But yeah, the lighting is a bit bright so I'm also hoping if it's not reparable it's not too noticable in regular lighting conditions.

    Hah - maybe I'm just overthinking it then if it ain't that obvious. Here's a zoomed out shot.

    The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)

    Here are some shots from the seller. Admittedly small, but since it's in a very obvious spot on the jacket I'd definitely want to figure out how to repair the damage.

    Toyo Enterprise Thread - Modern Vintage and Reproduction of Heritage (Buzz Rickson's, Sugar Cane, Sun Surf, Whitesville, Tailor Toyo, and More)

    Hey all, I plan on buying a secondhand Buzz Rickson x William Gibson MA-1 bomber jacket. One particular listing I see shows a white scuff on the front of the jacket. Curious if anyone has experience buffing out scuffs on nylon on these types of jackets, and if it's worth haggling on price...

    The recent pair I got also doesn't have JR soles, for what it's worth.

    Got here much faster than expected! Matches pretty well with the shoes I received. Certainly not the highest quality belt I've handled, but feels reasonably thick and durable for the price. Glad I made the purchase!

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    Done, will post pictures when I've received it. For black or brown shoes I wouldn't care, but the museum bordeaux will be a very hard color to match. Next up is for me to match a watch strap to the belt/shoes... I already talked to Vass and they don't offer watch straps, but curious if anyone...

    Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

    Some glamor shots of my recent CS purchase. I believe these boots are exclusive to The Hand, and are an awesome black color with some grey marbling. I'm sure they'll develop beautiful patina over time.

    Not a bad idea, I wasn't even sure if they offered belts for sale since they don't list them on their website. Worth a shot though!

    On a somewhat related note: any tips for matching Vass' shoes to belts? I'm particularly finding it hard to find a matching belt for my Bordeaux museum pair. The closest I can find is this dark burgundy belt from TTrafalgar, but it's so hard to tell online. Anyone got any recommendations?

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    Appreciate the response! Yes, these are on the F last. They're slightly longer than some of my other oxfords, so I suppose that's in expectation given how the last was designed. As for the heel and instep, everything feels pretty solid. The instep in particular feels pretty great, as I...

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    An update on my purchase: here are some photos. Alt English in bordeaux museum. I actually like the color, much darker than the photos Vass had shared with me, and would fit well into my three piece shoe rotation. Maybe slightly too dark for my liking, would like a little bit more of the reds to...

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    The representative at Vass got back to me on what shades of their bordeaux museum they have in stock, which in my size is just this pair. It's hard to tell but I think these were taken outside, so I'd imagine in person they're a little darker. Although they're beautiful, I wonder if it's...

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    Another thought since you have em in both finishes: how's the finish compare between CU and Vass for their oxblood museum/bordeaux museum respectively in person? They seem similar on first glance but perhaps CU's is less dark/redder whereas Vass' is darker/more purple. Also curious your...

    Some more glamor shots post-shining using some Saphir Renovateur and Pommadier cream polish. Outdoor and indoor lighting. Curious if anyone has polish recommendations to make em look shinier/with darker depth of color like in the Noble Shoe reference shots. But, lookin' good for now, and makin'...

    Got it, apologies for my laziness, just saw some of your oxbloods and damn, the Alt English in particular is 👌. If I go that route the only way is MTO, so hopefully Vass gets back to me. Already sent them emails about sizing and colors for bordeaux museum lol. So, wish me luck with my third...

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    Dammit man, now you've got me thinking of the oxblood color now, hah. Solid argument about the versatility. Do you have any other reference pics you could share of that color? In terms of where I'm at with ironing out my three-shoe rotation, I'm currently at a Alt English in black, Carlos...

    Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

    Kostas got these to me in lightning speed. 9899 in Dark Oak. The color is slightly darker than I was anticipating, but still absolutely gorgeous shoes. That said, curious your opinions on the fit, since although they feel moderately comfortable on foot the instep is a little tight. That said I...
