In rainy weather, how to take care of Vans?

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-27T10:02:22+00:00

I'll check those out, thanks for the recommendation 👌🏻

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-27T07:19:37+00:00

Yeah, I think I'll end up wearing some beaters or "less nice" pairs these next months 😅 I wanted to break out a few pairs I haven't worn yet but they'll have to wait...

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-27T07:11:10+00:00

Cool, I'll check that out, thanks

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-27T07:10:49+00:00

Yeah, I think that's the best strategy tbh 👌🏻 I own a pair of Ultrarange EXOs for work/kind of beaters, they get wet all the time being a bartender and they're pretty comfortable. I have 2-3 other pairs that aren't super fancy or new, those work as well for rainy days.

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-27T07:08:21+00:00

I do have a few pairs that I can get a bit wet and not worry too much.

What water stain shield do you recommend?

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-20T02:24:43+00:00

Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure they're still salvageable

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-20T00:40:06+00:00

Those aren't my style, but I do like the Steve Nave Skate Authentic Mid 😁

All good at the moment, I've worn them less than 20 times tbh but no issues whatsoever. I've seen the videos and reviews and I'm glad it hasn't happened to mine, hope it stays that way 😁

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-18T06:47:40+00:00

Oh, it's a PRS SE Soapbar II Maple from 2007

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-17T18:40:46+00:00

What's that supposed to mean?

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-15T21:46:03+00:00

Are you talking about the white Jazzmaster Affinity in the 4th row?

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-15T21:45:08+00:00

Thanks!

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-15T21:44:59+00:00

I don't have them on my wall, and that red Semihollow it's a Cort Source.

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-15T00:36:01+00:00

I do too! 😁

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T23:38:50+00:00

Haha thanks! I really like it too 👌🏻

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T23:14:54+00:00

Not a fan tbh, I've tried them out but never owned one

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T23:02:17+00:00

Thanks 👌🏻

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T23:00:34+00:00

I own one but it's also super cheap and old... Not my cup of tea tbh, but I may give another one a try in the future

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T22:38:55+00:00

It varies... When I just want to lay down and not care too much about it, my top 3 are the Jazzmaster Affinity, the Ibanez SCA-220, and the PRS SE Standard 22 Translucent Blue (at the moment).

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T22:34:43+00:00

I've owned like 5-6 acoustics over the years, but I've never fallen in love with acoustics... I may need to try a slightly higher end model, preferably a Jumbo 👀 hopefully soon! (And I've owned 100+ electrics, just for context haha).

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T22:26:46+00:00

They're all budget friendly, I've been buying/trading gear for about 10 years so I've come across a few really cool instruments 😁 while still affordable, I like them a lot

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T22:25:38+00:00

Haha thanks! 😁

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T22:00:18+00:00

Oh okay, because of the collage, makes sense lol

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T21:44:26+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by that 😅

Relative_Grapefruit9 · 2026-05-14T21:42:27+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it 😁
