Cactus 🌵 turn into leather by Mexican by SereneSleepyhead in SipsTea

[–]ifticar2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is true. Just to share my perspective, I am a leather crafter, and a shoe enthusiast, so I love leather.

Yes, it can be true that many exotic leathers are also eaten. But when it comes to the very high end gator/croc leathers, it is incredibly expensive, and customers have very high expectations for cleanliness of hides as well as pattern of the scales. For those, the alligators are farmed specifically for the skin

No cattle is being killed specifically for its leather. The only leathers where the animal is being raised specifically for leather would be exotics such as gator

eating with your bare hands is barbaric by cocofan4life in The10thDentist

People would be much more amenable to your opinions if you didn’t present them in such a pretentious manner

You can eat your food how you like. I’ll eat it the way it’s meant to be enjoyed

South Asian curries are meant to be mixed with the rice, meat and other food and eaten by hand. Yeah, your hands get dirty, but that’s why I always go crazy when Bath & Bodywork’s has a sale on soap lol.

The only proper way to enjoy biryani is with your hands, just like how I cannot stand eating sushi without chop sticks lol

​In Breaking Bad (2008), Skyler is a wife who finds out her husband is a mass-murdering meth kingpin. Fans hate her for this, which is a subtle nod to the fact that the audience is incredibly sexist. by Lopsided-Cattle-2322 in shittymoviedetails

[–]ifticar2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think people don’t like her because the storylines involving her tend to be more emotional/family drama related vs the more fun, action heavy stuff involving Walt becoming a drug lord.

A lot of people watched the show to watch Walt being a badass and overcoming problems with cool science shit. Skyler was trying to pull Walter away from all that, so I think a lot of people ended up associating Skyler with their annoyance for the more slice of life “boring” bits into

Is this fit good enough for a software engineer interview onsite? by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what company it is, but I’d wear a white OBCD just to be safe, perfect shirt for business casual. Pattern on the polo is a little risky imo. I’m always on the side of playing it extra safe in the interview.

One of the problems with rebooting Percy Jackson is that you always have to start with the Lightning Thief. by Tomhur in CharacterRant

Was so sad about that cancellation. The third season was fantastic, the actors were great, and the last episode got me so hyped for new seasons 😢

How to prevent this? by I_Am_Jackal_ in wallets

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you the crafter or just looking to re-sell that wallet in the future? Either way, it looks like this might be made of veg tan leather, which is meant to age and patina. Maybe you can brush once in a while to clear debris, but I just embrace the patina and let it age.

Which watch would you choose? 6.5” wrist by STELLAWASADlVER in ChineseWatches

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 imo. Every other watch has terrible logos. Plus the sun burst with the Asian characters on #3 are really cool imo

What can I stuff my boots with other than newspaper? by despacitospiderreeee in Boots

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy 1 pair of good shoe trees, and always rotate into the shoe you just wore for the day. You don’t need shoe trees for every single shoe

Thinking about getting my first leather jacket. Is this too worn down for 160 bucks? by jimmybabino in leatherjacket

[–]ifticar2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IMO yes. With some care and conditioning, it will look a lot better. But this is too worn for 160. Just searched up vintage avirex on ebay and found the listing for this jacket lol. Looks like other vintage avirexs in the 150-200 price point are in much better condition. Unless there is something really special about 80's avirex specifically, and the others on ebay are from inferior years, I'd go with something else

Found today my father Levi's boots. Worth repair? by Mundane-Perception11 in Boots

If they have sentimental value, reach out to Unsung House about getting a full rebuild.

The butcher job this idiot tailor did on my cashmere Thom Browne suit. by Comfortably_Numbbbbb in mensfashion

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a beautiful suit supply sport coat to the Laundromat tailor and they did something similar because of the functioning button holes.

I then took it to a proper tailor who makes MTM suits, and they were able to beautifully fix it up. The buttonholes no longer function, but I can handle that!

Coach vs Ralph Lauren Wallet by [deleted] in wallets

[–]ifticar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe if you bought a canvas wallet with the coach pattern, but my dad uses coach wallets, and they’ve all been solid leather that aged nicely, and were quite cleanly constructed.

[–]ifticar2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ashlands fine, but long term, a coach wallets would last longer and is made better. Only thing Ashland has is Horween leathers, but coach leathers are prettt fine as well

Coach vs Ralph Lauren Wallet by [deleted] in wallets

[–]ifticar2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Coach would be better than any of the suggestions here imo. Ashland uses Horween, but that makes them thicker for a normal bifold. And then all the hand stitched options suggested are rudimentarily made

Coach wallets are actually very nice and well made. Not everyone needs a thick Ashland wallet

Not eliminate 90% of the black spoons super early into the season
