asked on SZ, but might as well try here as well



One of my rick leathers (intarsia moto - made in Italy) leather code LBO has a strong leather smell. Not so much a traditional leather smell - the last time i visited my mother I was wearing the jacket the smell of the jacket made her think there was a gas leak in the kitchen!

Anyhow, the smell doesn't bother me, but my vegan girlfriend refuses to go anywhere with me if I'm wearing it.

Suggestions for getting the smell out would be greatly appreciated - I've hung it outside a whole load and that hasn't made any noticeable difference

Man the fuck up Gawk

Any tips for a good lint roller? Had enough of dog hairs on black clothes 24/7 and supermarket/H&M lint rollers are shite.

I've never tried it on leather but I've got olive oil stains out of fabrics by rubbing in some washing up liquid and allowing it to soak in before washing in the machine. So maybe rubbing that in then washing it off with water and a rubber brush might work.

You could try a spot test somewhere inconspicuous (the instep maybe) to see if the washing up liquid affects the leather at all before having a go at the stain.

Alternatively coat the rest of the shoes in olive oil for a wonderfully supple finish.

Anyone with the Folk navy drawcord shorts experience sun damage with a rust tinged discoloration? The whole front side of mine have changed shade.

not got any rust but mine have lost colour in the sun. accelerated by seawater etc. found that to be standard with navy shorts though tbf

Anyone got any recommendations for a which dye to use on a machine wash? Want to dye some stuff I've got black and not had great results with dylon. Cheers!

Just get a navy dylon pod that you put in the wash. I do it regularly with shorts/chinos and they come out as good as new.

Cheers I'll try them out

Yeah, dylon is the shit for washed out black stuff.

Stuff comes out too black if that makes sense.

Takes a couple of washes to be perfect.
