      Ok crew, help an eejit out…

      My brown OSB Oxfords are a bit too big... Nothing crazy, but just a bit... I put a leather inlay sole in them, and that did the trick... But lately, my feet have been smelling funky after wearing them, and not just "Mmm that Chromexcel leather smell" kinda funky, unfortunately... So: that inlay sole has been binned... If anyone knows of a DECENT and chunky leather insole that would bear bare feet... Link me up...

      For now: tying them tightly does the trick... No heel slip or anything... But would be more comfy with something extra... And no: I don't wanna wear socks whilst wearing them... FUCK SOCKS!..

          well if your feet start to smell funky i def. would consider wearing socks. your feet wont swet that much while wearing socks as if youre going sock-less…

          some like these should do the trick

              I've worn my blue ones without socks and all's fine-arino in those… I don't wanna use a spray and don't wanna wear socks... I'll just wear them without anything in it...

                Now your just been difficult haha…
                So its the inlay that stunk? I am assuming the shoe already has a insole? If so then try putting your inlay under that.

                  Shoe has no insole. It was indeed the inlay sole that got funky. No issues with that in my blue Oxfords that I have worn barefooted since day one…

                  Just took the blue'uns off after 6 hours and they smell of that crazy leather - so good...

                    Just got an 8 oz. jar of Obenauf's leather polish… Wondering: should I apply to my Oakstreet Bootmakers or would the Venetian creme they sell in their online shop be better (or worse?)... Will it make the leather darker like it did on my Grenson boots?.. Cause that I do not want happening...

                        Aye - I asked George through mail and I will be buying some Venetian creme for my brown'uns as I don't want those to darken, and he reckoned it would… Blue'll be fine...

                                      Seul-I have not tried Obenauf's on any osb's yet, but in my experience it does tend to darken any leather I have applied it to. I think sticking to the Venetian creme is a good choice here.  However, I am excited to know the result though if you do try Obenauf's as I'm pretty sure I'm holding a lifetime supply already.

                                        Thanks for the suggestion, but BiG is out of it and the Oni duck jeans in my size.  Combined with the failure to launch of the IH-804 single knee non-paraffin and the TW 5281…

                                        Well, that's my rant. 😢

                                        Keep the faith.  I may have something coming along that will sort you out…............

                                        you had hinted some time back at a single-layer cotton duck pant in the works
                                        can you give any update?

                                        @Giles:

                                        No, but let me get on the case.  Colour, brown?

                                        G, Any leads in the mystery of the single layer duck pants?

                                            monday noted we're all the way up to #53 on the shirts which is crazy
                                            but of course there's several numbers in the 40's and 50-52 not accounted for…
                                            would this be stuff in the pipeline
                                            or stuff available in Japan/elsewhere that you didn't pick up G?
