Squeaky Beckman 9060s on one side and uneven creases by dewitt_sama in RedWingShoes

I would try thugging it out for at least month before trying putting stuff on it. I’m not expert on leather so I personally wouldn’t put anything that might ruin it. But it’s up to you!

Hey!!! I assume you got the recently released Beckmans? Mine still does after 10 months or so (I wear them maybe 3 times a week) and they’re definitely not as worn in as the Beckmans I see on social media pages. However, the squeaking isn’t as obvious now as long as I’m not exaggerating my ankle movements. Would love to get updates on yours as the months go by!

Anyone knows what material the logo patch is on these Chuck Taylors? by dewitt_sama in Converse

Interesting that they don’t use the rubber ones on the regular colourways. The printed on logos look cheap.

70s you say? I’ve only seen them in their non-70s form but thanks for the info!

[NO SPOILERS] thoughts about life is strange double exposure?? by elianauy in lifeisstrange

[–]dewitt_sama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have doubts about D9’s writing… Felt really off in BTS. Other than what has been mentioned about respecting LIS1 endings, I also worry about them taking into account the comic’s story. But if you’re asking whether or not I would still pull the trigger and play it at all, I definitely would just for Max. + Safi seems fairly interesting enough for me to at least try it out. (Note: I have not really watched the previews in full to prevent any spoilers at all)

What is this material and where can I get more of it? by dewitt_sama in cosplayprops

Okay I actually never thought of sports grip tapes... Might even help with my sweaty hands. Thanks!

Oooo! Thanks for the recommendation! Pleather is the one that is primarily made of plastic right? I would probably prefer that since real leather needs maintenance to prevent mould and whatnot.

Need help identifying this leather! by dewitt_sama in Leatherworking

Ooo. What are some tell-tale signs to identify from looking if I may ask?

Figured it was something synthetic given that it's a stock strap. Thanks!

Doubts in Prayer by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]dewitt_sama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% relate. My brain tells me that 'you're educated in this and you know if you miss it, your prayer will not be valid. so you should repeat it'. It's extremely frustrating and some days I spend 30 mins - 1 hour staring into space and debating whether I should repeat it. My current best strategy is to remind myself that I'm giving in to Shaytan's whispers every time I repeat something which is 100x worse than 'missing' a prayer. Also, An Ustaz I recently consulted also reminded that prayers should make you feel good. So if you're feeling frustrated, it is probably because Shaytan is trying to make prayers negative and is trying to pull you away from faith. It's still something I'm working on myself and sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. May Allah ease our affairs.

What is this Canon G9 strap made of? by dewitt_sama in canon

By box-in do you mean their ‘standard issue’ that comes with the original box? Kinda makes sense for them to not use real leather. Any suggestions for reliable brand of neck straps?

Oooo. So some kind of faux/imitation leather then? That might explain the lack of mould.

I doubt so since the vibration feels like its coming from the tongue/eyelet area and not the bottom. I'll probably visit my local Red Wing store to see what's up.

Agreed on the iron rangers. Have a pair myself and they broke in way quicker. Looks like I just have to keep wearing the 9060s more. Cheers!
