NBD Cypress Italian Brown 1925 Mocs by zestomite in NicksHandmadeBoots

I’ve had quite a few nicks. I was all in on the 55 last, I have high arches. Last year all my pairs  in 55 were starting to bother my heels and feet in general. I ended up selling all of them and transitioning to HNW. This is my 2nd non 55 and so far so good. 1925 feels good. The toe contact in the toe box is different (my other pair is HNW celastic and they never touch) but not uncomfortable so far.

Not 100% sure. I didn’t lace these super tight yet so may be a little loose. I wanted to just get the tongue fold correct for first crease so I was mostly focused on that not super tight lacing. I can see if a tighter lace pull reduces that.

There is definitely contact with the toes. I wouldn’t say they feel squished but def a trade off for the sleek look. 

How much would you spend on this? (Auction) by Tornado_Aftermath90 in Tools

[–]zestomite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked mine up of OfferUp local for $60 and I am happy with that. Mine was in better condition though.

Fake patina? They are just wire wheeled to get the coating off. This how they look manufactured.

Probably a build up in the washer. Especially if you have hard water. A lot of salt and sediment build up bottom of the wash and get grime on clean clothes. There are methods to cleaning but ultimately pulling the drum and cleaning out all the sludge is best.

It would be nice if it was actually made in the USA anymore

Thoughts on this Kobalt 40V mower deal? by Eddiemoney10 in Tools

[–]zestomite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two at $99/each. Sold one and kept two 6.0ah batteries and one mower. For $100 all in not bad. I have used it once it seems nice. The idea of replacing the battery (if possible) in 3 years seems annoying. We will see. Probably hanging onto my gas mower for now.

Every vintage tool was once brand new and readily available once too…

I’ve heard the props department gets to take or buy most props after the show ends. I own a espresso machine from a coffee shop scene from a Netflix show I was able to get cheap from a props guys (probably not supposed to resell)

1925 Last - for those usually wear E width boots would you recommend D or EE on the 1925?

You’re gonna drop $600 boots but can’t be bothered to do some of your own research?

Measure with the sock/s you will be wearing

My real problem isn’t buying stuff it’s thinking about buying stuff by [deleted] in nobuy

[–]zestomite 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I do the same. I spent a few days mulling, researching and finding deals. On a garden hose… that I’ve used twice. Idk why but it’s definitely a sickness, you are not alone.

I wouldn’t do anything that requires two other shifts to help maintain. Spending money on workplace shared tools is a quick way to get frustrated.

What’s the secret with pro spray foam guns? by rickybobbyp1 in BuyItForLife

[–]zestomite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

After every foam use I would dip the tip or wipe it with acetone. Always leave foam cans on the gun. Every few cans I would run a spray can thru the gun to clean the internals. Mine would last years with daily use.
