Experts' Expert: Richard Lambertson on touching up scuffed leather
Lambertson is a former design director at Gucci who's now co-creative director (with John Truex) of Lambertson Truex, a manufacturer of high-end leather goods.
In the course of a shopping trip with the Wall Street Journal's Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan to choose men's wallets for a story that appeared on September 30 he dropped a few pearls, among them this:
Use a permanent marker to touch up "corners that turn white after a while."
Great minds — well, minds, anyway — think alike.
For many, many years I've prepared myself for formal events by detailing the edges of the leather soles of my black dress shoes with a Magic Marker.
The ultimate in quick and dirty instant upgrades.

And don't forget -- if you have some old black shoes that have maybe sprung a hole in a toe, or two, and you're partial to wearing white athletic socks, a dab of black MagicMarker on the toe of the sock and you're good to go.
Yeah, you COULD wear black socks, but where's the fun in that?

I can almost smell that marker-magic-perma-ink order wafting up from the screen.
