Stitchdown Patina Thunderdome (Year 6)
-
We’re about a month away from the start of year six of the Stitchdown Patina Thunderdome.
Any of y’all entering this year, either the Open Dome or the Work Dome?
For me, the Work Dome makes a lot of sense since I’ll usually wear the same pair of work footwear for months at a time anyway. The Dome probably makes me stretch it out a little longer than I normally would, but it’s really not that far outside of what I already do.
As of last year there are two new categories, the pre-worn and leather goods. A little something for everybody.
For anybody thinking about entering, or even if you just like following along, here’s the link. There are always some really good prizes, but honestly one of the best parts is just watching all the different leathers and footwear evolve over the six months.

My last four Dome boots, did not enter the inaugural year:
This year’s boot for me in the Work Dome is supposed to be delivered by the end of this week. It’s a pretty cool StationMaster engineer from Nicks, and I’ll post some pictures once I have it in my hands.
