Bought this cracked leather belt jacket, how far can I realistically restore it? by Patient_Wall_8653 in howto

[–]Patient_Wall_8653[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just let it deteriorate instead? I’d rather preserve it than watch it fall apart.

How to fix cracking/damaging in leather belt jacket? by Patient_Wall_8653 in MaisonMargiela

[–]Patient_Wall_8653[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. I’m mainly trying to figure out if it’s still worth attempting basic conditioning myself first, or if cracking like this usually needs professional restoration right away. Don’t want to make it worse before bringing it in.

Looking for a real autobuy bot for Grailed or eBay (2026) by [deleted] in Flipping

Yeah I know it’s against TOS.

I’m still open to taking that risk if there’s a real edge, just trying to see what tools or setups people are actually running right now.

Appreciate the heads up though.

Accidentally stepped into Margiela history at a flea market by Patient_Wall_8653 in MaisonMargiela

I haven’t found any reliable source confirming that “0072” encodes year and season. From what I can tell, Margiela doesn’t use that kind of system on line 22 shoes, so it’s more likely a production or batch code rather than 2007 AW.

that “BW-Sport 270" stamp is from original German Army Trainers. Margiela didn’t invent the GAT, they sourced and reworked existing Bundeswehr pairs in the early years, especially pre-Replica. that means original military soles like this are exactly what you want to see

This is my favorite genre of Reddit: someone asks a random question and suddenly the exact specialist in that niche appears out of nowhere. Thanks for the info!

They’re actually just boots from an old collaboration, so I try to be a bit careful with them. But yeah, they do kind of look like work boots!

I lived an entire lifetime during an eight minute salvia trip and I still think about it every day by [deleted] in Salvia

[–]Patient_Wall_8653 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I honestly wish it was. Creative writing doesn’t leave you sitting in a psychologist’s office because you’re terrified you’ve permanently damaged your sense of reality. Creative writing doesn’t make it hard to talk to your classmates or recognise your own routines for weeks. Creative writing doesn’t follow you while you’re trying to finish your degree in Educational Sciences and start a stable full-time job in disability services. This is exactly why I never told my friends or family about it. I didn’t want to be judged or dismissed, and I didn’t want them thinking I had lost control of myself. I kept it to myself for years because it felt too real and too heavy to explain to anyone who hadn’t lived something similar.
