Time to get a new sole on these. I should probably brush them too
I don’t know where the other shoe is. I think one of my kids hid it.
Sorry to link reddit but I don't want to retype everything

I still wear these every now and then
Burning hot take: I don't think super worn-in high contrast raw faded denim looks particularly good. Dark denim looks good on its own, and is fine with a little whiskering. Beyond that, I'd rather just have, like, a lighter wash.
I need to get more comfortable with my clothes showing wear so I’m happy or see what more gets posted here
My favourite pair is these reeally beat up old carhartts, which I had to patch up multiple huge holes on to make them wearable (including sewing the whole back panel back on on one side). I left the pocket ribbon hanging cause I thought it was a kinda cool feature
I bought a pre-knackered pair and have been learning how to patch and repair on it using Casey's guide.
Yeah this is me, I need to accept that much like myself, its okay for my clothes to be weathered to fuck
Some viberg slippers I wore for three summers in a row. They’ve just been sitting the last couple years in the garment bag and I need to get them fixed up. The sole has pretty massive holes
Pair of Iron Rangers in "bitter chocolate" that I've had for over a decade. Haven't been conditioned recently and could kind of use it.
Natty CXL Carmina boots
A "cream" colored Valstarino jacket. I really love how this thing has aged. I wish it fit me better...
Also really like how this pair of blue weft jeans has faded over the years, one of my favorites for summer
bought those in 2013, apparently
These are some macro shots of my pair of Warehouse jeans. Photos were taken a couple of months ago. They're even more toasted now. I will spare you my amateur sew job to repair the broken crotch stitches.
Same deal for my TCB pair. They're wider so fades and wear is slower. Electric blues are starting to pop more now, two months after these photos
Motor CXL lace-up boots
Motor horsefront chelseas
Rolling Dub Trio Vincent Tall Warm, horsehide
7 years of not so occasional wear in these Svensson Lows, soles are turning yellow time for a resole
40s or 50s? Been wanting a pair of their s40 jeans
50s
These are my pride and joy in terms of how wear and tear can make something more beautiful. Rancourt Ranger Mocs in natural, unglazed shell. Then (2020) vs now
did these just naturally darken with wear or did you use anything?
I’ve used Saphir a few times to condition them, but this is mostly wear
awesome, I got a pair of loake's recently that are closer to your pic of the original. Saphir darkened them a little but good to know I just need to wear them in
Kicking wet leaves helps a lot with the process
