Why do I get these horizontal lines in the back of any shirt with darts?
That's referring to the wings though. He's asking about the line of bunches fabric horizontally in the back in the post. If it the same reason then by all means just say it's the same reason. Ok. Others have chimed in and addressed both issues now and it seems like I understand for my...- alford78

Why do I get these horizontal lines in the back of any shirt with darts?
I do recall a pic shown to you in another thread that had true T arm holes but wasn't explained the proper ways of communicating that with a maker/tailor. I'm guessing that would be asking too much. Not sure why this topic has been met with such anguish and negativity. This is supposed...- alford78

Why do I get these horizontal lines in the back of any shirt with darts?
I searched his other threads and nobody has given him answers that will "correct" the problem so I cannot blame him for continuing to try to get his next shirt ordered properly. Not trying to be disrespectful but remarks about his shirt and helpful advice on changing measurements are two...- alford78

Why do I get these horizontal lines in the back of any shirt with darts?
I do. I have a shirt that does the same thing made by the same company as a few of my other shirts but is trim fit and it does this even though the sleeve, neck, and shoulders seem to fit perfect. I've almost thrown it away for more closet space twice but it's there as a reminder not to...- alford78

Yea agreed with the black GMT and black sub look alike and would only add one if it was like way down my collection. Polished centered links is a quick fix at home for free or a cheap fix at any jeweler. I've went from brushed to PCLs and from PCLs to brushed at home with very good...- alford78

Not a quartz man myself but do like all the functions of these newer gps watches. Some even have more toned down/elegant dials. Perpetual calader without ever needing to use a winder box would be pretty cool too with the solar powered models.- alford78

People do this all the time in form of purchasing relevant model numbers for the year they wish the watch to represent. There are many new Rolex models out this year for you to choose from if that's what is on your mind. There are colorful dials as well that would work as unisex and the...- alford78

Kirby Allison: Affiliate thread
Yes a bunch on YouTube. A very small amount of polish and literally a drop or two of water in stages is key. Too much wax and it won't build and shine as easily. And there is a video showing how little polish is needed. Browse a few of the top how to spit shine a shoe vids. Here is a good...- alford78

Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II
The lack of fudging on the welt and on being on the heel is because the welt stops at the heel and even the heel welt is tucked under the upper so don't know how used the wheel on the heel area after it was attached to the upper in this style of side soled welting. Here is a side picture...- alford78

Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II
Thanks guys! The owner said he would take them back and assured me every pair I order from now on will be looked at by higher QC so to speak. I am fine with them since one isn't noticeable and the other will be covered up in time by patina. Even the easier one to see can only been seen by...- alford78

No it didn't fail but condensation would fog up the crystal just a tiny bit and had it inspected I'm pretty sure before finally the center sent it off to Rolex HQ. From memory no signs of water damage where apparent when was at local dealer even though it fogged. I will check for link and...- alford78

Shoe Antiquing
Oh not harsh at all and I totally agree. It's just taken time to get all the products and scrap leather/test shoes etc... And then the aniline powder bit just popped in my head. Wouldn't it add like depth/ translucence? Do you use it or can say the benefits or drawbacks of using it with...- alford78

Shoe Antiquing
Ok. I think I'm about ready to start practicing except I still have one more question. Rider mentioned aniline powder but that's all he did was mention it. How is this used and do any of you use it either by itself or mixed with other dyes? I understand how it could help blending layers of...- alford78
