How To Customise Your Vandals, By Geoff McFetridge
This post is so hot, it must be the hottest post in the history of That's How. So hot it's James Flames x Burnin' Vernon hot (with thanks to Nick Catchdubs for "switchin' up the slang"). An email has arrived from none other than Geoff McFetridge. In reply to my letter of the 7th of Feb he writes:
Funny email.
Well. I have a pair i did not rip. I sort of like them not ripped. BUT if you want to rip them they look cool that way. Just use a scalpel or exacto, cut at a steep angle, so you just cut the fabric not the vinyl underneath. I like to cut a piece out of the toe. and some around the heel. Then it will rip naturally some... the only time it looks bad is if the vinyl underneath gets cut in the process, i did that once.
Wear em uncut until you are tired of them, then wreck them
-geoff
So that's that then. Champion Vandals can be worn with the crisp pinstripes intact, or messed up real good. Photos of one really messed up pair will be appearing shortly. But I do feel better knowing I have Geoff's explicit blessing to wear them either way.
