Chippewa Boots
When I'm doing a full-coat of LP, I hit it with a hair dryer to work it in... If it's just a touch-up, I typically don't bother with it. Lacking heat, I think you end up with wax-coated leather instead of wax-infused (which is likely more water-resistant). Heating it also lets you get a few...- mixProtocol

Lands' End Canvas
It really depends on your build... LE usually puts their shirt measurements online. I'd buy a few sizes in slim and tailored fit and just see what works for you. They're rather inexpensive and returns are easy.- mixProtocol

Lands' End Canvas
Yeah, I found the same thing w/ the LE slim fit dress shirts (both oxford and pinpoint oxford) when buying my true neck size: the arm hole orientation somehow limited my arm movement (even though the shirt looked like it fit decently) . Sizing up in slim didn't help either. For low-cost...- mixProtocol

Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...
I got the grey Black Hills last year (bought with a pair of polished brown Cascades during the 2 for $250 sale) and have been wearing them much more than I thought I would. Contrary to some of the reviews on the AE site, I find them to be super comfortable. I'm not sure if it's just my pair...- mixProtocol

The Original Chippewa Heritage Boot Line
Yeah, that's my thought as well. As long as you're occasionally giving them some oil (whether from boot oil, obenauf's or sno-seal), the leather will be fine. If they get truly soaked, I'd probably spend a few moments reapplying (as water does deplete the oils in the leather).- mixProtocol

Clarks Desert Boots
I coated a pair of my desert boots with two coats of Obenauf's LP (Sno-Seal should also work), melting each coat in using a hairdryer (and paying special attention to the welt). Sure, they're not completely waterproof, but they're close.... The trick was to make sure that the rough edges of the...- mixProtocol

Official Guitar, Amp, Pedals, and Gear Thread
Yeah, I bought Dan Erlewine's "How to Make Your Electric Guitar Play Great" a few years ago... He definitely explains things in great detail. My favorite part of, erg, HtMYEGPG is the explanations of how different pro's guitars (rock, blues, jazz, rockabilly, etc...) are setup and why. So...- mixProtocol

Obenauf's LP: It works
Obenauf's will darken the Chips slightly, but I still think it's the best choice. If you're talking street-slush-type snow (with salt, etc...), then I'd definitely coat them before the first use (the hairdryer method works well). Getting salt stains out of uncoated leather isn't fun, with...- mixProtocol

Lands' End Canvas
From a business point of view, it would make sense for them to simply eliminate their brick/mortar locations and instead offer free two-way shipping for returns (like amazn prime) ... Part of the reason LE is appealing to me is the cost, especially of their sale merchandise. I certainly hope...- mixProtocol

Chippewa Boots
The Vibram on the LLBean model might be a bit more 'grippy' than the Vibram GumLite sole on the 20065. It could just be the wax that's used floors at my office, but in my 20065s, I can skid like Tom Cruise in Risky Business if I try hard enough. I'm sure it'd be fine in snow, but I'll feel...- mixProtocol

Chippewa Boots
In the past, I mainly had non-resoleable boots; in most cases the sole gave out long before the leather: Timberlands, Doc Martins (back when grunge was a thing), Red Wing (not from the Heritage line), Dunhams, a military/work book from LandsEnd, some others that I'm probably forgetting... I...- mixProtocol

Slim Fit Khaki's/Chino's
Yeah, the look of double-stitching sort of bothers me, especially since I have some older D1-fit Dockers (not Alpha) that are no longer available, fit better than the Alpha Slim and have a clean hidden/concealed (whatever it's called?) stitch for the pant seams. I'm not sure if the...- mixProtocol

Shrinking oversize sweaters?
Careful with the wool and cashmere sweaters -- they can turn into felt pretty quickly in the dryer. I'd try a warm/hot water bath first for those.- mixProtocol
