?

Gotta be a bootleg.

Only place that has glasses had these. Pristine, but no case.

I vote real. Here’s my pair of Nettleton gator shoes if you want to compare the scale pattern. Embossed usually looks repetitive while real alligator are more random shaped. View attachment 1445331 View attachment 1445330

Real skin!



Embossed brotha, sorry!

Thanks gentlemen! I'll repeat it again and again, but always thankful for the help shown in here.

@txwoodworker points for the most creative crotch shot I’ve seen in a while! Not saying I see a lot of those to begin with, but yeah. Had to give props for the creativity! Haha

yes, I’m very bored right now.

Oh my a titty!

I believe that, in the parlance of our time, that's pronounced "tiddee".

This was kind of a funny occurance and showed me just how much a brand can change and advance over time..

Saw this label inside a gray wool bomber style coat at a store recently:

Initially I tossed it into my cart, but I knew something was wrong with it... Made in China? Weird looking font and "New York City"?.. lacking quality of construction and no material content tags inside. I figured it was fake and left it, even for $15. No way 3Sixteen would EVER make something in China and have such a weird looking, somewhat sloppily attached, label right?... Wrong.

Got home later and did some more research, that led me to find this on their blog:

Which led me to lookup their 2008 collection and yep, there it was:

I still don't think it would've gone for much, but It was just funny to learn all that. I took 3Sixteen for an American Heritage brand that would never outsource or make things that weren't of the highest grade construction.

I have about 15 pairs of nice leather shoes, but strangely no cap toe oxfords, until now. Fits great and worth the $20

Sooooo the project bike I got last time wasn’t really a project; just needed cables and brakes. Was finished in an hour. New saddle and bar tape will be set for the Norco at month end... but that’s it.

So I did what rationale person would do and searched on Facebook for bikes in worse state.

Bought one; ended up with two lol not bad for $40

@Thrift Vader it’s time to build a fixie; chromoly too! Mmmm

 

[dad2bandm]

Nothing much at thrift today, but am always happy to find one piece for personal use, that fits me.

I will totally wear this.
