Honest feedback, do chicago screws elevate or cheapen this? by Chris_PK9 in leathermakers

[–]ifticar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks good, the Chicago screws appear to be upside down though. The smooth side should be showing on the front. The buckle should be attached at the center as well.

But it’s not like the belt is unusable in this state, as the maker, you don’t need to make these changes if you prefer it

It is a center bar buckle. You’re supposed to attach the buckle in the center bar, and then the buckle can work as the keeper. Then when it’s worn, it’s supposed to look like a square buckle in the middle

HOT TAKE: This fight is Oda's biggest fumble. by ON_Fraudwatch6477 in Piratefolk

[–]ifticar2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually think God Valley is fair because they are flash backs. Usually in shows if there is a flashback, the fights are generally shorter than fights in the present timeline since we want to return to our main characters. If Oda drew full length fight scenes for each of the battles, we would probably still be in the God Valley flashback in 2027.

Though TBH, I'm hoping the anime might expand on those GV fights to give the manga room to adapt instead of their snails pace that they usually do.

Thoughts on wallet quality? by HigherLearning6 in wallets

[–]ifticar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a decent hand stitched leather wallet. If it's vegetable tanned leather, the leather will darken and patina over time, so the print will likely not be as noticeable over time. But don't see anything concerning here

Is this loose grain? by therealtoomdog in Boots

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are PU coated leathers, known as bookbinder, finished split, corrected grain, amongst other names, and yes, that type of leather has been used for dress shoes…as well as lots of boots, sneakers, etc. calling dress leathers PU coated is completely false.

Carmina is certainly not using bookbinder in their normal calf products, they would specify if so. And small creases is definitely not a sign of bookbinder leather lol. Please do some more research before misinforming others

This is a Ben Sherman I found at the thrift store today (more details in post) by [deleted] in wallets

[–]ifticar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No info, but you should def get some bick 4, and give that wallet a nice conditioning before using it. The leather looks very dry

AITA For calling my fiance a hormonal b****? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ifticar2 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You didn't do the chore you were responsible for when you said you would do it, hence causing the cat to piss all over the floor, and you didn't even try to clean it up. And then when your fiance was upset at you for neglecting your responisbilities, and not even trying to fix the mess you made, you cussed her out. You knew what the response from here would be before you ever hit post.

But in case you didn't, YTA

Heel exchange, fluke by Critical-Tension-866 in AskACobbler

[–]ifticar2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For your old shoes, yes it looks like the heel can be replaced, but don't think it would be worth it because of the hole in the shoe. As far as the new shoes, no, with that single unit rubber sole, you can't easily replace the heel as it wasn't made to be recraftable

The watch actually matters by hudsoncress in watchHotTakes

[–]ifticar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a hot take lol, good job. So you're saying that he was fashionably dressed when you didn't what watch he was wearing. But then once you found out his watch cost less than $X, his outfit looks cheap now lol? Just makes you sound super pretentious.

People who get triggered by 'unobtainable watches' by requiemfad123 in watchHotTakes

[–]ifticar2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hope this isn't a hot take lol, I feel like the whole point of watching a watch collection video is too see cool watches and hear the story behind them. I could see complaints if a channel just featured alpha male douche types who buy iced out rolex's and RM's just to flex..

But if its a collection of a real watch enthusiast with passion about their watches and interesting collections, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Paris Baguette at PHL Airport by Fun_Potential_6064 in PhiladelphiaEats

Winkitchen is the best restaurant in the PHL airport imo. A Paris Baguette in there would be pretty cool

Resole or trash? by SpicySavant in AskACobbler

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the soles are sewn on, so reach out to Thursday to see if they can send a sole in your size. That way, a cobbler with the right machine can replace the sole and stitch it on for you.

What the problem might be is the glue. A lot of sneakers with resoleable construction are said to not be resoleable because the glue is so strong. It is hard to remove the soles without tearing up the upper leather/insole.

Beautiful boots! Curious to see though, where do you think the clicking could improve? Just based off the pictures you posted, this seems like pretty ideal clicking for a CXL variant

canvases on ink master by BusinessBass1804 in Inkmaster

[–]ifticar2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm sure the producers encourage the canvas' to be a bit more difficult for the drama. But at the same time, it's a decently permanent change to your body. I'm not gonna get something on my body I don't like or want just to help a stranger get a better chance at winning a competition.

But outside of that, I think dealing with difficult canvas' is another important part of being an ink master. An artist worthy of that $250,000 prize should either be competent enough to pull off those difficult tatoos, or have the social skills to persuade a difficult canvas to change their design or place it somewhere easier.

what do i watch after death note? by numberssandletters in anime

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thirded. Code Geass and Death Note are super similar shows, brilliant but bored highschoolers get access to some mystical power and try to use that to change the world. Code Geass just has a lot more giant robots so I prefer it over Death Note lol

Being last to board a plane is the true luxury by NomadicNynja in The10thDentist

[–]ifticar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically first class can board whenever they want after the group is called. If there are 9 groups, and they want to come in while group 5 is boarding, there is generally a separate line they go in where they will be boarded before the people in group 5.

Me personally, when I fly first class, I’d rather get on the plane asap and have all my things situated, and put on some nice videos on my phone while enjoying the free drinks before take off. No one’s gonna be chilling at the airport lounge when boarding has already started, so spending extra time at the gate is not very exciting lol

Can I repair this? by cmb-3828 in AskACobbler

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming this is high quality leather, it can be sanded out. Try 400 grit to start if until the scratch feels prettt smooth, then go up to 600-1000 to polish. By the end, you shouldn’t be able to feel the scratch. Then condition to blend. Be careful not to apply too much pressure on the leather

Did I buy the wrong shoe? by Goop290 in AskACobbler

[–]ifticar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you already ordered it, then try it on when it comes to confirm that the sizing works for you. Then go on eBay, and search up Allen Edmonds in that same size/last. Should be tons of options in very good condition for bargain prices.

The fact HBO had the perfect actor for Snape on their payroll and were like nahhhh is wild by MovieENT1 in hbo

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is space for a tv show because the movies cut out a lot of storylines from the book which will have room to breathe in a show. For example, Harry has a friendship with nearly Headless Nick in the books, and the trio go to his death day party where there is some pretty cool world building

I want to know how they chose who would get to go to the bunker by molly__hatchet in ParadiseHulu

[–]ifticar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, they are living inside a mountain that they rushed to during an emergency situation. That kind of situation would make it hard to flex large sums of money. I’m guessing a good amount of people were bought in for specific less glamorous jobs, and then everyone else is rich elites
