well i’m a fat ass and i ripped my belt loops pulling up my pants.
there are holes where they were sewn. recommendations?

[Giles]

Get some fabric and sew it on the reverse of the hole, it just needs to be large enough to breach the gap.  Then sew the belt loop back on.

@den1mhead you could try Felix Jouanneau. He's a London bootmaker who used to do rebuilds, I don't know if he still does. His last Instagram post said that he'd stopped due to Covid.

Let us know how you get on with the above recommendation Barcley @den1mhead, as I've got a pair of RW's that need sorting.

@bryaneidins70 Jules has decided to keep her Viberg engineer boots as is so we won't be making contact with Felix.

Thanks mate. I will get in touch with him.

Just wondering: if you tell UPS to leave a package at reception (so no signature is required), do they still notify you when it's delivered?..

[Alex_24]

In my experience with UPS in Germany, as long as your signed up with your email for delivery notifications, then yes.

I’m looking for high quality slippers or house shoes, and I’m “meh” on most I’ve found. Brand in consideration are LL Bean, Birkenstock, UGG, and the like. Anyone have cool recommendations?

Side question, why the heck are most slippers moccasins?

[zhivago]

I was on the same quest for years, then I found Glerups. Never looked for another house shoe since!

Thanks for the tip. That’s a name I came across yesterday but didn’t dig into.

I recently picked up a pair of these for around the house and they're great.

What type of detergent do folks use for washing IH Shirts? Just a normal supermarket brand?  (Sorry if this is already posted somewhere)

[Jett129]

I tend to use Woolite Dark,which I think is pretty popular,especially if you’re using cold water.

I've always liked the look of the Quoddy Dorm Boot and some of the Glerups offerings. However, as a big footed man I'm usually relegated to your aforementioned usual suspects.

Long story short : I got glue on my rough out wescos, tried to get it off but got stuck with some weird discoloration and an altered structure. Do you think this can be fixed or should I dub the whole leather to make it even again? Is there a tip on how to dub anywhere?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@Max Power No idea how to remove it but here is a guide how to dub your boots:
