Let's see...

One pair of tan sneakers
One pair of black sneakers
Tennis shoes for the gym/exercise/general use
Ratty tennis shoes for mowing the lawn
Pair of black Oxford-style
Pair of brown Desert boots

I don't think that's too many.

Cannibal 07-15-2014 08:05 PM
2 pair work dress shoes, one black, one red/brown
1 pair of Vans
2 pair retro Pumas, one black, one tan
2 pair Nike running shoes. One for work, one at home.
1 pair old Nike running shoes I mow the lawn with. These shoes are probably close to 20 years old.
1 pair Addias cross training shoes
1 pair Doc Marten slip ons for field observation trips.

Sounds about right.

I was just curious.

Thank God, I was thinking I was slipping into full blown metrosexual mode trying to color coordinate my sneakers with casual dress.

That's about where I am, maybe 30-35 or so.

4-5 x sneakers [3xNike360, 2xAdidas ]

5-7 x casual [sperrys, slide on loafers, etc]

5-7 x boots [work, dress, hiking, winter, shitkicker]

10-12 x dress/dress casual [wing-tips, oxfords, brogues, etc.]

1-2 x roustabout sneakers [mowing/gardening/walk to convenience store]

A lot of it comes from me holding out for a good deal on quality shoes. Because first, good deals come up surprisingly regular if you know where to look, and second if you hold out for quality, shit doesn't wear out.

All in all, I probably paid for my 30-35 pairs what others would have paid for 6-8 out of my collection at MSRP.

Depends on how tan. If it leans more towards brown, no. If its more of a light khaki, give it a shot.

Ok I give up just what makes a plain T shirt vintage? Those look like the T shirts I buy today except the quality and made in USA is history.
I could see with vintage with old silk screening that a cigarette company or old beer screening.
What gives what am I missing?

srvy,

The sizing used to be true - a medium is actually a medium and not something you could jump out of an airplane and use for parachuting, like the ones today.

The 50/50 means it's 50% poly 50% cotton. THAT's the main thing - So very comfortable and cool (temperature) ... I absolutely love these in the summer time.

I know you think you know it all about EVERYthing - but I have news for you - you don't know shit about clothing aside from impersonating Han Solo.

A belt that is $93 - like the OTHER double RL belts I've owned have literally lasted 15 years. So consider their shelf life - and for me - I like a more weathered look - so it's hard for me to find a Perry Ellis belt I like for $19.99.

The belts on the rack today are absolutely horrible - It takes a dedicated discrete web search to find any - Or if you're fortunate enough for your local Polo store to have a Double RL wing in their store.

Trust me the extra costs mean extra life span. Ask Vailpass.

Genuine hide, quality buckle, crafted worn appearance, won't fall apart in three months, accentuates the garb with which it is worn. Belt matters as much as shoes...Not to speak for Red, just mho.

I was actually asking because it looks like something the local amish kid knocks out for ~15 bucks and the weathering is an extra $10. He'd probably stamp or burn whatever initials you want in it for $2.

His saddles sell for a shit tons of money and he makes custom belts, suspenders, straps, strips, and numerous other easy shit with his scraps.

That's a very cool local find. Style plus quality is a win. If I were in your position I'd capitalize, especially because it's unique. Doesn't change Red's position any, but makes yours enviable...

If you could find an Amish group willing to make me a belt that looked like that - I guarantee him a purchase by me.

I don't give a rats ass about the brand - just so happens RL has made the only ones I've found that I like - I literally can pick out a car faster than a belt of a ball cap. I've been buying a bunch of vintage NEW tees that are 50/50 cotton to poly. Very thin and fit very nicely - If anyone is interested I can share the seller on ebay - those TOO aren't cheap though - they're about $22 each but they're from the seventies and they're new - been in storage. Clay I know you like tees but you're cheap - however if you ARE interested - just let me know.

I honestly assumed he was buying the brand.:shrug:

This group is relatively new to the area and they are just starting to get into their target markets. The "organic", "farm fresh", and "hand crafted" markets here are just too small for them to really strive like they do in Pennsylvania and New York. They've also been a very closed off community which makes doing business with them difficult to say the least. It definitely looks like the kid is selling himself WAY short though if there are really that many people willing to pay that kind of coin for the quality, and not the name.

I'm going to show him that picture and see if he can push whatever method he weathers his belts and bracelets with that far. :thumb:

I agree - it's critical to look original yet 'assembled' properly - I go out of my way to focus on little things that DO MATTER, whether it's grooming - communicating w/ your barber or if you're talking just raw apparel.

This group is relatively new to the area and they are just starting to get into their target markets. The "organic", "farm fresh", and "hand crafted" markets here are just too small for them to really strive like they do in Pennsylvania and New York. They've also been a very closed off community which makes doing business with them difficult to say the least. It definitely looks like the kid is selling himself WAY short though if there are really that many people willing to pay that kind of coin for the quality, and not the name.

I'm going to show him that picture and see if he can push whatever method he weathers his belts and bracelets with that far. :thumb:
Ghak what are they doing? Leather goods?
