[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9408965, member: 19675"] Tangent: I may have mentioned this before, but I love clothes. And I always try to take care of what I own. I have never understood the desire to own things that have been artificially aged OR designed to have an accelerated aging process as a marketing tactic. I saw it first with expensive ripped up jeans. Then in guitars- both “reliced” and nitrocellulose finished. The most recent was boots. I was looking at some Grant Stone brogued cap-toe boots with an almost ivory finish. Absolutely gorgeous, and currently out of stock. Good thing, too- as I looked longingly at the gallery, I noticed that some pix showed the boots with reddish brown markings on them. The marks are from where the finish has scuffed off after a few months of wear [I]as it is designed to do[/I]. I had already asked for a restocking notification before I noticed this. I’ll be able to ignore that if & when. [/QUOTE]
