Whiskey Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Sorry for another vintage Esprit thread Finally got them in an X-Large. This should benefit someone as I'll be looking to selling my WampaWear gloves for much lower than I got them for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got ShaunPug up in your area who can help with those too Thanks! They feel great! My next step was looking for modding threads, although I'll admit, I am a bit squeamish on having to cut into them. I'll look him up. Now if I can only find the elusive Hi-tecs. I hear many hunters of the sneakers have gone mad during their search. Some have never returned. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Fiebings black dye. Use a razor blade to CAREFULLY remove the zipper and the strap. Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
762s Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 cutting them easy .. just get some sharp exacto blades and take your time. i backed the leather strap with a putty knife and then scored the leather strap a couple times till it cut free the zipper was easy too, it did create alot of fraying due to the nylong material used but, you just pull all that excess out. i used what bikerscout007 suggest and for dye .. fiebings suede dye ... 2 coats did the trick for me i will also suggest getting a suede brush to brush the suede before the dying and brush it in between coats ... keeps the suede from becoming stiff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
