Mod to Suedehead

[Donkey Jacket]

Strange question, but has anyone ot any idea how lighten certain parts of a pair of polycotton trousers? bought some of those british lightweight trousers and they decided to send me a pair with the side pocket, successfully removed it but now i have a dark patch where the pocket used to be.

People online are saying bleach but that sounds kind of dangerous.

Just wear 'em, I can't see anything other than UV eventually evening out the colour without messing it up.

Leave 'em out in the sun(or in a window that gets a decent amount of sun), with just the pocket areas exposed, for a week's worth of UV rays.
Had a pair of Adidas California reissues whose suede was waaaay too orange, so I left them in the cellar bulkhead fitted with a storm door, and they faded nicely after a couple weeks.

In all honestly it might just be easier for me to buy another pair next week(even tho the shop i ordered from had a picture of the ones without the pocket instead of with one, wasnt the shop i linked here either) and specifically ask for ones without, i think i like the cut on them more compared to the american trousers though, they are higher waisted but seem to be slimmer fitting.

Someone with a few quid ordered a bespoke pair of monkey boots from Foster & Sons

not my thing but the craftsmanship from F&S is stunning as ever

It amazes me that someone would pay £4500 for a pair of monkey boots, bespoke or not.

Upper crust monkey boots, i still have blisters from walking 10 miles in my grafters monkey boots, they take some breaking in.

Wear them as they are @Donkey Jacket, surplus shouldn't look perfect.

agree with botolph, but look around. You will find a pair without pockets too. Covskin has good point too

Found a seller who has em pretty cheap in good condition on ebay, only just realized you can add a note when purchasing stuff off ebay too so i should get the correct ones this time, its always good to have two pairs of the same trousers to be honest. i would post ther ebay link here but this forum does not like em for some reason.
