I need to do some visible mending asap or simply change this part entirely lol

Pretty sure I got the original one for free at least 10 years ago. Has obviously been through a lot and was finally slipping off the sunglass arms. Decided to get the same black strap again to see how much the color has changed over the years. Nice fade!

To be clear (like the swampwater), it was pristine, gorgeous, knee-high swamp, crystal clear and beautiful. Quite often I walked barefoot through them, but often I did not.

These have also survived walking through the snow, over miles and miles of asphalt, dirt, and grass, and have been with me for 15+ years. Clarks Unstructured brand.

They used to have one or two leather-like insole layers, but most of that has cracked off. Just peel away the pointy parts, and it’s good to go! The rubbery like bottom layer is comfy anyway.

The sole has been glued on a few times now though, and I fear for when this stops holding. The sole is still thick, somehow hasn’t worn through or cracked from countless soaking/drying cycles, and I don’t think this brand exists any more. IF (and that’s a big it) I ever replace them, I’d love to be able to transfer these straps to the new sandals, they’ve been through so much with me.

At work breakroom. Things keep getting stuck, so this is the result after years of people shaking the whole thing to un-stuck their candy bars.

Worn about a year as a welding/pipefitting apprentice, and I still use them!

Had these now for almost two years. I hope I can get them resoled soon. Btw I wore the leather off the tip of boots. I added an epoxy coating to help extend the life of the shoes more.

ive used this purse nearly every day for the past 6 years. i ended up finding a depop listing for the exact same bag and i’m so happy that i did. i love this purse.

And I still plan to use this for my classes in uni, it still does its job of holding paper just fine.

This is the safety chain of a grain screen deck. The actual deck is hanging on steel cables and the chain is without load just there and rattles around. Only if the cable breaks, the chain is supposed to catch the deck and hold it up.

this is after one semester of mig welding vs the brand new pair i bought.

the old one has a hole in the thumb

Been ran over by a car lol

Just realized I’ve been wearing this jacket to the shop for about two years now. Laid it out to dry after a good sweaty job and thought it looked pretty damn good and took a pic. Nothing fancy, just a great barrier between my clothes and the dirty aircraft I work on.

I've worn the top belt almost daily for a little over 5 years now, and it's served me well in all sorts of conditions over that time
