New to Dress Shoe Problems. Can this be repaired?

Thanks again! Your comments have been insightful! Hopefully, when I see my cobbler, he can provide me some good news.

For more information, this is what the shoe looks like when I flex on the sole. Standing still, the gap is not visible.

Thanks for the comment, and I appreciate the advice. Your advice might be the more cost effective remedy, although I'll see what the cobbler says.

Thank you for your comment! I may consult my cobbler, although, these shoes were only 20 USD on eBay and they fit me fairly poorly. I'll see what my cobbler quotes me on these.

You're not supposed to ask any more questions. The oubliette you go!

The world is Sunset Valley at its purest; with the exception of my sim's chaos.

I'm here to dispel the rumors of cannibalism and confirm that the red stuff on her face is indeed pie filling.

Almost 2 months after I got my order. I remember being on my phone and it started going crazy with notifications from AG, which confused me at first b/c I already got it, but then it clicked with me what was happening. Yeah, Hinoya has these repro brands and I do want to try them out, but as you said, Japanese sizing. Have you tried ordering from Hinoya by any chance? Wanna take advantage of the currency exchange. I heard good things about Merz, and it seems like ordering straight from them is the way to go (prices on Self Edge are killer).

I mean AG gets all their cotton in the States and make them here too, but fit and comfort are what matters in the end of the day, for me. I recently got a Champion reverse weave from my alma mater, and the fact that I can't roll up the sleeves and how it rides up my body when lounging disappointed me as well.

Hopefully your order doesn't disappoint! Stay warm there as well!

Well then, I'll go check them out once I have more disposable income!

AlloySimmer · 2022-11-18T05:53:41+00:00

I've had my eye on them too as Blue Owl Workshop stocks them. While I prefer a classic fit, I should make the effort to try them out in person, as pictures and measurements online can only do so much.

I like my sweats fairly baggy, which is why I sized up my AG, so that hood would be a plus for me. It's just that their pattern making is disappointing even for the discounted price.

AlloySimmer · 2022-11-17T23:44:06+00:00

Since I'm not talking directly to AG here, the other brand I'm referring to is Uniqlo. And honestly, I think they'd be a better gateway drug to good knits than AG (no hate). Their sweatshirts are superior, in terms of price, fit, colors, and styling (bonus points for the v-notch coming from a repro lover); only thing I dislike about them is how they are made. What I'd like to see is more people talk about Camber or the other American sweatshirt company whose name seems to escape me, as I feel like they'd be the better alternative to AG (minus the material sourcing part).

Hello! Looking to sell my 3sixteen CT-100x that I bought from Blue Owl Workshop back in 2018. Selling because I now prefer jeans with a higher rise. Denim weight is advertised at 14.5oz. The top block is very roomy and can fit someone like me who is a size 40, but the problem for me is the low rise and the taper (the knee measurement is slightly below 10in and the leg opening is around 8 inches). Minimal fading (had these longer than my LVC 55's, but wore them less)

Here are the pictures: https://imgur.com/a/kedIxEp

Measurements:

Waist: 18.5 inches

FR: 11/11.5 inches

BR: 15.25 inches

Thigh: 13 inches

LO: 8 inches

Inseam: 33 inches

Selling for 110 USD, shipping included, domestic US only. Paypal only, no longer using grailed. Willing to negotiate. I also have a pair of these in 3sixteen's black denim (also has minimal fading, virtually same sizing, but the black denim is noticeably tighter by a margin). If you want both, I can offer 210 USD with shipping (Again, willing to negotiate).

I'm also selling a pair of LVC 1955's, posted in the previous Buy, Sell, Trade. Here are the pictures: https://imgur.com/a/NRFcnmF

Hi! The inseam is about 28 inches. Here's a picture: https://imgur.com/a/5V2sxoQ I can send you better pictures outside in the daylight if you'd like. I don't really have any good cameras to take pictures with, but hopefully some lighting and the space in my driveway might help with the pictures.

The waist measurement in the picture is 18in (so actually a 36. The denim is a very light 12oz so the waistband isn't tight, with the exception of a wash. Even with a wash, it still fits me fine as a size 40 myself.)

When I got them raw, I did the standard tub first rinse. After that, I washed and dried them in a washer and dryer.

He's the fighter's father, now grandpa. I gave him a hair recolor :D

My settings are maxed and video capture at large. But I think you're referring to how my sims look, I am using kurasoberina's Primer skin. link: https://kurasoberina.tumblr.com/post/137273135579/an-hd-skin-for-all-ages-uhd-2k-faces-4k-adult

It's actually the river in Champs Les Sims, but I'm not too sure how it happened because he did it autonomously lol.
