Wabi Sabi: other things that evo
-
@Sheepdog149 those are both ridiculously good. What boots are they? I can only hope that my Chromexel viberg engineers look that good one day.
Thanks boss! They're horsehide Phigvels from Japan. They were resoled by Role Club. The steerhide wallet is from Japan too. It's darkened quite a bit with use, suntanning and hand rubbed coconut oil[emoji16]

Heck yeah! That's a great example.

Hard to capture the differences but here is my Bexar Hudson briefcase brand new (2014) and today. The leather has softened and broken in beautifully. The bag width was just under 4" new and is now a touch over 5" (gussett break in). The brass hardware has a nice patina to it as well.

Flat Head calf sneakers. I think @Madame Buttonfly had a pair too.
Indeed I do, well remembered! My first pair were navy, and looking pretty worn - my black pair look incredibly good considering length of time I've had them (5 years, maybe longer?) and the amount of wear they get. Incredibly comfy too.
(apologies for photo quality)

They are great sneakers, and yes, yours look fantastic @Madame Buttonfly .
I was worried about buying such a nice sneaker with vulcanized construction but they have lasted well. I would love to be able to resole one day, the uppers only get better with time.

I've worn these carhartt shorts for 9 years and they started out black. As i wear to the gym about 4 times a week they had a lot of wear and washes

Yep, I get why bronze is your favorite watch case material for sure!

Swapping out the heavy IH buckle to the ZeeBee roller buckle on the ZeeBee belt and noticed some lovely evo on the belt, buckles, and Chicago screws:

Totally forgot about this ole thing. It’s back on the keychain now

LionArmory brass bead. He makes a ton of cool designs and they’re a great price. He also does silver and copper.

My 5-year old IHGB-01 brown gloves show a nice patina and worn in look at this point. They get frequent but light wear as I only use them for around town riding.
I’ve never cleaned, washed or oiled them. The leather is super pliable and they are superbly comfy on the bike. The tear was a total surprise. I never saw it coming so it may have been caused by a sudden strong tug in some weird and unnoticed circumstance.
The journey is the objective.

@motojobobo those gloves are cool! Do you think you’ll repair that tear?
-
@Mizmazzle not immediately. Planning on seeing whether it worsens or stays put, and then decide. But I have plenty of leather workers (none high quality) around town.
