One place to avoid! Can't believe they asked 300 for it. I have seen awl together leather do good work on gyw shoes resole and leather jacket alternations. Planning to take some of boots there when resole is needed.
Primer highwayman make up with longer back is what Holly suggested, been waiting for like 3+ month, at this point i just hope it gets here so i can wear it before it gets too cold in February.
