    Only a real man keeps the white stitching. Dark stitching is for color blind fools. (Sorry @Shoenut and @Shiner AE puts acrylic color correction on top just like Alden to make up for irregular shell. Looks like you’ve seen how to strip; just know there’s a good amount of variation I see under...

    Man. I don’t know what’s going on with your pairs…I’ve honestly never had to do more than just wetting and polishing. I never do anything to them but some conditioner VERY seldomly. Maybe because they’re not full of conditioner they just take the rain and are grateful?

    Trivia: what’s the fastest way to piss madhat off and make him want to get rid of a pair of shoes? Answer: have them get super noisy! Bonus: zero to one hundred real quick…when it’s not the uppers but the soles (like the midsole or shank shifting). That’s THREE trunk shoe pairs now. 1) TS 19.1...

    4 figure costs from AE…it better be the ultimate unicorn with all my specs perfect and built to perfectly fit my feet. I’ve got a pair of boots from another maker that didn’t bring me $1000+ enjoyment…I KNOW an AE won’t fair any better. I do not know what your day job is, but it better not...

    Wow! How much have you worn these? Lots of cold or hot surfaces? I ask because mine are over six years old and look fine. I’m assuming my lack of wear and harsh conditions play a part.
