It's been raining here for weeks, so apologies for the delay. Wanted some natural sunlight.
Here are my 301-N, worn for about a year (minus summer months) and washed once so far. I ride my bike everywhere, which I think has aided the development of the combs and seat area. Not much whiskering though.
Worth asking but what i'd thought. Sounds like it won't work. Thanks for the feedback all!
I'm going to ask a question that may have been asked before (though I have done a bit of searching). I have a pair of IH-301N that I absolutely love. I'll add pics at some point to demonstrate fades, but they're coming along nice.
I have an opportunity to buy an almost unworn 14 oz. version, 1 size up from my current pair for a really good price. Do you think if I purposely tried to shrink them, I could get them down anything beyond a negligible amount e.g. a full size? I was thinking after I treated the leather patch for protection, a very hot soak, extra hot wash with agitation and extra hot dry. I'd need to do something in there to make sure weird lines didn't set in which I haven't figured out yet.
The price is so good, I am considering just experimenting, but that said, I could put it towards something else. Have any other scientists out there tried something similar?
Is there texture/slub to the fabric re:handfeel or is it smooth? Hoping for the former and it seems that way from the upclose fabric shot. Also what’s the weight? Sorry if I missed it.
Exactly what i've been hunting for. Someone buy my shirts so I can buy this!
X-post - but here is my belt loop buddy with phigvel key case.
My Flathead S key holder got lost about a month ago after ten years of dedicated service (unfortunately my one and only bike lock key was lost with it, terrible). As a result, here is my new rig. Good Art Belt Loop Buddy and Phigvel key holder to anything that could be scratched or torn.
Thanks all! Megatron - you hit the trifecta. Viberg was on the list too but quite expensive. I'll give the Wesco's a shot. They don't come in much more expensive than the White's actually.
Pretext: I own a pair of brown rough out White's Oxfords from Baker's Boots that I love minus the fact that I could use a tiny bit more width. I'm interested in another pair of low cut rough out shoes and I am between these two:
Another pair of White's Oxfords in black roughout:
Or a pair of Wesco JH Classic in Burlap Roughout (unsure whether to go lace to toe or standard):
I'm interested in Wesco more so based on the love they get from Iron Heart and the board here. Honestly, roughout color doesn't matter that much as I can pretty much do the same build in either shoe. More interested in any knowledge of quality/comfort on the Wesco or opinions.
