yes that bulge. something like that can be avoided by thinning out layers before it's stitched. the holes of the x stitching also look inconsistent in size and the nap of the suede looks knocked down around the holes. all small things I know but for bespoke I would expect all those things to be on point.

Very true on the thinning aspect. The holes are like that bc of them pulling on the stitching, it does not look bad in person by any means, if I wanted to be a true stickler on it, I guess I could be, but my pair from Mercer, compared to a lot of the pairs from 1948 are wayyyy better in craftsmanship aspects. You should see this one toebox from 1948, and none of the materials are rolled over, the leather is just cut all crappy. I know my toe box isn't a 2004 shape but its night and day compared to the bespoke Ive seen from 1948. And I have no idea why, because both Mercer and 1948 use the EXACT same factory, I have checked this with multiple people's pairs....only thing I can think of is I was one of the first to do it at Mercer back in October and they all jus now got their pairs back from 1948...a lot of them have the "booty" on heel as well, they're all returning them because of that - that and because few of them actually got the wrong size!!!! After paying $1k and waiting for 6-8 weeks they come in and they're a whole size smaller?! I would be furious...but I love mine haha
Haha yes SOUTH AFRICA not UK! I read the kids post wrong and people are asking about release dates in US and what not! My bad!

you can return your pendletons to the outlet, and buy them back again with the outlet discount

Check your PM bro
you return them to the outlet and let your GF or friend buy them back for you, then the employees wont recognize you
leads on a size 13?
singledout
bespoke options include other midsoles? Red, blue etc etc?

thats a nice little sneak peek. the more i read about this, the more realistic and feasible it becomes in my mind. it kind of dawned on me today, the direction i would take if i were to follow this endeavor. 3m reflective, ostrich, soft suede, mesh and hounds tooth would be in the mix somewhere. prob an all grey monochromatic look with cool, wolf, slate and gum sole.
he gonna repaint the midsole into blue
i did that recently after having taken your advice to sell kicks im not wearing. repainted the midsole a 2006 woven pine green am90.
Yeah, problem is the two paints i got from angelus doesnt match so im going to have to come up with something. They dont have an exact match.
Do you happen to know where in the UK? I might have to go peep a few FLs around the way.
