              @MP: No problem. It´s just around the corner. I had to pay only 4 euros.

                          Partially new sole on my Grensons. My shoecobbler sais she can remove it in spring and put it back on next winter, but I'm probably leaving it on… I reàlly like how thin and subtle it is... Nice job, I'd say!.. Should give me enough grip as well!.. 20 € job.

                              Worked with my Grensons and the grip is just phenomenal… So stoked...

                              Put in my heavy duty inlay soles (the gel feels nice), and replaced my laces by rawhide black'uns... They're not as grey/ green as the pics make them out...

                                I sent my 634S-B to The Works for some serious repair, and I requested for some photos of the process. Thanks to Giles, Haraki-san, and the lady that repaired my jeans (I think she's Gong?). I'm really happy about the repair, and am super excited about getting it back!

                                Really cool repair! I love it, and seriously can't wait to put it on again..  🙂

                                  ron that is a great repair.

                                  you really do beat the shit out of your gear

                                    Yup, definitely a very good repair.

                                    I'm not sure if I'm happy about how I beat out my jeans. Haha. I get crotch blowouts in my jeans very quickly. (My IHxB01 is with a local tailor)

                                    I seriously hope that there is a way to slow it down.

                                        with winter in full effect here in middle america I decided to wax my 634sr
                                        I used Fjallraven Greenland wax, last year I waxed my Carhartt jacket with it
                                        it's basically like a bar of soap, you rub it on then use a heat gun or iron to melt it in
                                        I used an iron, my wife's hair dryer is much slower
                                        using a canned product like barbour wax designed to be melted and applied with a brush probably gives a better coating and is physically easier but also much messier and probably takes a better technique
                                        the Greenland wax is pretty easy and foolproof
                                        the process is fun for about 3 minutes, then elbow grease for an hour and you're left with a nice sore arm and a little mess to clean up
                                        I just did one coat, they won't be fully waterproof but it helps for light outdoor duty and cuts the bite of the wind a bit as well
                                        today they'll get some field testing and I might give them another coat
                                        before:


                                        down one leg

                                        detail after that's ironed in

                                        a little heavier along the seams and on the hems


                                        get the hems on the inside too

                                        the kids wanted to help

                                        pocket

                                        end result

                                            excellent project jaco, with pitch perfect execution from you & the little ones.    funny thing is i've been reading up on that stuff trying to figure out if i was going to use it to waterproof/windproof a garment.

                                            should be needless to say you've sold me on the product  😉

                                            ***& as an after thought, you might get the slow&steady award for your SRs this winter.

                                            good job for staying the course
