Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

[Baron]



Hm, maybe my question was a bit unclear. What I mean is, does letting natural leather age on it's own -- with regular use -- result in a different patina than doing the kind of tricks people use to hasten the process? Stuff like leaving it out in the sun to bake for a few days, hitting it with conditioner, etc. I know this stuff kind of ages differently from person to person, but I'm wondering if the results might be different assuming it's the same person, same product, etc. Maybe the patina would be less uniform without those tricks?

Recently bought this eyewear case and I'm tempted to darken it with conditioner, like I've done with belts, but also wondering if I should just let it age on its own for the next five years.

I had an Il Bisonte wallet to which I did nothing except carry normally, and it aged beautifully. And it didn't take anything like 5 years. I think it had a nice patina after a year or less.

Rodin made extensive use of urine to create patination.

It will definitely be less uniform, but I can't imagine the range of color tones differing between reg use and conditioner.

But using a conditioner wouldn't prevent your case from "developing" afterwards, so if there's something that you do that would impart a different pigment to the leather, you can get a tone you're happy with now, and still have an individualized look 5 years later.

His pocket square is actually a printout of this interview, which he unfolds and hands to anyone who asks about why he buttons only the bottom button

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I've extended the Milkman challenge until this Sunday, with a little incentive to boot. All the entries have been so exciting, stories and all.

On an unrelated note, how are people even lauding SLP's latest **** show Hedi tried to pass off as couture?
