Damn that's a bummer. I have those rain boots that seem to be a 2E width. They are wider than those John Lofgren I had or a regular pair of Converse. I was hoping maybe the sneakers are the same width as my rain boots.

Who is R.P.?

[Dmart]

I’d guess it’s @Ross

[goosehd]

@Dmart of course…I just didn't put it together.  Thank you!

[Ross]

Yep, the RP is me!

[goosehd]

@Ross Thank you for confirming!  Thought maybe you guys had added more staff and we didn't know yet…

Wore my new 633s during the birth of my first kid.  Was thinking about putting her initials on the leather patch somehow and keep the pair forever after im done wearing.  Any thoughts on what to do to the leather?  Permanent marker seems ok but not great

You can make a hot stamp with a clothes hanger and a torch or tool the initials in with leather stamps or tools.

Have it tattooed.  You could also do it with wood burning kit.  Or a date stamp like at the library.

Get some leather stamping tools for the date or whatever else you want to put on there—her name? Sky’s the limit. Try like Weaver or Tandy leather, or Amazon I’m sure.

I think @seawolf who owns Zeebee leather might be a good source of information, or may be able to accomplish what you want if you send him the jeans. Good Luck.

Complete with totally sandpapered whiskers and combs. What an atrocity!

two separate questions from a relative newb

I've seen people mark pocket bags, but other than that, how do people keep tracking of washes, soaks, and wears? I can hardly keep track of how many miles on cars between oil changes let alone something that requires near daily update. Are people using an app, google sheet, or something?

Similar to the how many pairs do you have in rotation thread; do people have a good system for how they rotate wear on all of their jeans other than lightweight/breathables in summer and the opposite in winter? Different pair everyday? Weekday/end jeans?

@pechelman

I just use the note app on my iphone for things like that.

Just 1 pair of jeans for me all day every day unless it is a chino or shorts day. So I can't really help on that but I reckon some of these lunatics will have some great insight into their rotation algorithms.

[pechelman]

Thanks, @Graham. I tried keeping notes in my phone but I probably lack the discipline needed.

Right now I'm rotating every month or so because it's annoying for me to swap over belt/wallet/etc every time. Since it's the first day of September, this morning involved swapping out the 21oz for the UHRs.
