this comment makes you look far weirder than any kind of shirt tucking

I can’t remember the last time I bought <$200 boots, but thanks

Eh, I’m a bit unconvinced that they’re 5x better than a pair of polarized lenses, but I’d try a brand out if you have a recommendation. It’d be great to be proven wrong!

do redwing stores provide resoling, or do you just go to a local shop? I think most of my boots aren’t worth resoling, cost-wise

Oh this isn’t good. I like making little leather items like belts - I’m going to lose a lot of time to this channel

That’s why I said I get the point of the story - the story just makes me wish I could find ten-year boots. I’d get personal boots re-soled if I had a pair nice enough, but usually my personal boots are just work boots that are the least scuffed up

That makes a lot of sense. I don’t think I’d remember to take off my driving glasses when I got to my destination, though, and throw on my beater pair

Hah I know that feeling. I’ll try the firehoses for work, then, if I can find a style without cargo pockets - thanks

Man that’s crazy to me. I used to wear the redwing metatarsals, but I switched to keen metatarsals just to try them out this year because I like my keen hikers. The redwings’ soles seem to wear down in 2 years, I didn’t think I drag my boots when I walk but I don’t know how you’re getting 6 years so I must be.

Hard disagree on sunglasses. Polarized sunglasses can be had for $20 and you don’t have to cry whenever they fall in the water, get sat on, or get left behind in a rental car. I’m constantly wearing sunglasses when I wear contacts, and keeping a pair in my truck, in my motorcycle’s saddlebags, in my girlfriend’s car,…

the authentic stubble is an expensive option, but it really separates the wheat from the chafe

how do the crotch/inner thigh areas hold up on the firehose pants? I’ve heard mixed reviews on them

I get the point of the Sam Vimes story, but I’m skeptical about any boots really lasting 10 years. We get new boots every year where I work, and that’s probably a bit more frequent than absolutely necessary for me, but I’d definitely need a new sole at least after two years, and there’s a good chance the toe cap is…

Heresy!

I like David Tracy, but he’s wont to buy used tires and that’s pretty hard to abide

Is that a jack for side of the road wheel change?? It looks like a trailer jack but that picture of a car...

some headlight restoration kits work in almost exactly the same way. lots of sanding first, then a solvent to get rid of the exposed surface layer of plastic. Of course, the next step in the kit is to cover it with a coating, whether it’s some kind of clear coat or ceramic coating. I’m not sure tiktok failed you in…

Surely they’d to try and cash in on IT vibes and name it Halloween 12: The Hallowtweening

there is an ‘09 xr1200 with 24.5k miles for $6,850 here in central IL, tho. just in case someone is looking

about 168k or so. so not young, but not exactly like I’m trying to squeeze life out of a dinosaur
