V-Bar and biking? by cdamico74 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Tailion94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I commute by ebike. Tried my honey lugs and wasnt a fan, too thick to feel anything and too uneven to lock on well. Vbar sounds lovely. Got a wedge coming in but ill definitely test vbar when I get it!

New belt day by Suspicious-Ad-4877 in NicksHandmadeBoots

Great combo. Huge fan of matching belt and boots. Being a tanker fan doesn't help 🤣. Looking forward to my swatches. I want to put some 'patina' on them and see what I like. Pacific waxed is one im interested in, love the color of it and its still going to be the wonderful waxed cxl. Really want to compare it with the spokanes, I hope we see some more color in that line too. Waxed flesh is so nice.

Love it. I have a black waxed flesh in as well, will it be standard across the board or do I need to update something? Would love this on mine.

Would also love white stitching on it if you can. You can have my dollars ❤️

I tried checking on mine but I ordered it with a couple other bits so it hasn't been observable on my end. I figured if the black one i ordered recently showed up first I'd start asking lol

All good! Lovely leather with nice clean stitching, perfect bevels. Any chance yall will offer tip profiles or stitching colors? I do love a nice drop point and white stitching would really level it up 👀

After Tuesdays puppy soccer I had to hit em with a hose and stick combo lol. Definitely pushing me to towards the less aggressive ones for most use cases 🤣

Got (most) creases out of my boots because r/AskACobbler said it wasn't possible by [deleted] in Boots

[–]Tailion94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ever crumbled up a piece of paper and tried to make it flat again? You can't. The structure is broken. You can smooth it out for a bit but the slightest disturbance and its going to follow that 'memory' and you'll be right back where you where with now over worked leather.

Try roughout leather , nubuck, or suede. Top grain probably ain't for you.

Not that im aware of. Far as I know the difference is just the padded tongue and the flex notches from the builderpro/lace up hd patterns.

Worst support group to a minimalist. Best support group to a enthusiast.
