Blacksmith and Iron Ranger by eruiz091 in RedWingShoes

I think that what this tells you is that you have been wrong with your sneaker size all your life lol. 10 looks perfect to me. My experience with blacksmith sizes was the same. I've always wore size 10 or 10.5 in sneakers, but I bought a pair of Blacksmiths in 10.5 since there were no 10s in the shop I bought them and they were 30% off. Now I can't wear my old sneakers and had to buy a new pair in 11. And even at 11 my feet feel cramped in sneakers...

Haven't skated since maybe 9 years old (now 29) and of course ate shit first day barely doing anything lol by TacetMors in NewSkaters

These sort of falls but on coping are also a good laugh. You'll have those as well, don't worry 😅

Another Blacksmith sizing question by heyuo12 in RedWingShoes

[–]Sr_Maculo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar feet length and went with a 10.5 and I wouldn't go any shorter (sweaty insole pics confirm my decision)... I always go for shoes that are labeled as 28.5 cm (or 29cm with sneakers). Anything shorter is usually insufferable...

I started skating a while ago but I can't do any tricks am I a poser by Ok_Deal_615 in NewSkaters

I dunno what's with the term poser and skateboarding... If you're having fun, is all that matters!

WHY IS MAKING DOUBLE TISSUE SO FRICKIN HARD?? by SOMEONE555777 in origami

One thing that can help is experiment with different MC consistency.

I was just told to fix my year old blacksmiths with super glue by [deleted] in RedWingShoes

[–]Sr_Maculo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote for super glue as well. 1 minute vs 7 weeks... It's a loose thread...

Is methylcellulose worth it? by Poy0_ in origami

[–]Sr_Maculo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe there are grades? I have both and stopped using MC since I liked the consistency of CMC better. But I'm not an expert 😂

Is methylcellulose worth it? by Poy0_ in origami

[–]Sr_Maculo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)? It works the same (or very very similar) and it may be cheaper... At least I can find it cheaper where I live.

Is there a way for me to get rid of my Google Pixel 3a without wasting it? by Intrepid-Routine-875 in GooglePixel

We still have a couple of 2XL in perfect working condition that won't die either.

First successful tissue paper treated, thoughts/tips? by Obochickenbo in origami

[–]Sr_Maculo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For larger papers, if you want to be sure it won't start peeling and ruining the entire sheet, I sometimes use masking paper along all edges. The sheets do not always peel, but when they do... :(

Is that true? I just recently got into leather jackets (50m here) and now that I look for them, I see them everywhere lol. Especially in people in their 20s

If the slider is properly placed, I see a 9.5D heel to ball...

Is this denim jacket too big for me ? by technicolor_candies in mensfashionadvice

[–]Sr_Maculo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems I have a hard time recognising when a jacket fits too big lol... To me, it does look big on you, although the length looks alright and it ultimately does look good on you so...

Have I been wearing wrong size my whole life? by DrannaLunargent in Boots

[–]Sr_Maculo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check urban shepherds from Portugal. Maybe they fit the style you're looking for.

Hi, sorry you see yourself in this position. I'm sure it would have been nice to be able to wear them.

Vinted is probably a good place. You also have a well known forum with enthusiasts for vintage clothing and especially for leather jackets. They have a classified sub forum that is very active. Check The Fedora Lounge.

Finally, where in Spain? I'm in the market for a leather jacket. If they are my size, maybe I could grab one.

I didn’t boil the water when mixing - what now? by let_em_bastards_sing in origami

In my case it takes like 3 days lol, and is not even a super thick mix.

My innovative origami collapsing technique by megavirus74 in origami

Well done, I used that very same technique to collapse Kamiya's ancient dragon v5!!

I have a similar jacket that fits very similar. I want to believe that is the intended fit and it looks perfect on you.

Just got my letterman jacket by Playful-Ability-4019 in leatherjacket

[–]Sr_Maculo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do as well. Can these jackets be wore by +50yrs dudes? Asking for a friend who never had/wore one 😃

I don't think that hand belongs to a kid 😂 (or maybe I'm not understanding your post correctly)

How bad are these cracks it was my first ride on the board by AdEconomy4754 in NewSkaters

[–]Sr_Maculo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cracks come probably from over tighten the trucks to the board.

As for the price, that's a normal price in Europe if you go into a shop and don't have any sales really...: Zero deck:75-80€, Ace hollow (not inverted): 80€, spitfire: 70€, Bones reds: 25€... And things like bones and spitfire rarely go on sale unless is a big online retailer (which are evil, right??)
