We really need to organize a step by step guide for this with pictures.Originally Posted by Arethusa
Sysdoc said he was working on a video guide to antiquing/polishing. I'm still waiting for that.Originally Posted by j
That would be incredibly good. Can't wait! Btw, your processing of these Loake is starting to slowly chip away at my resistance to chelseas. I may end up with some soon, lol. Edit: Opinions on these suede brogued chukka boots? http://www.ctshirts.co.uk/product.as...ProCode=MBTCHYOriginally Posted by skalogre
I like those, but I'm not a huge fan of suede in general. I was considering the leather versions of the same before when CT had those.Originally Posted by j
I ordered the last black one I think but sent it back (looked nice but I had a sudden increase in bills and had overdone it with shoes that month). Cannot say I do not regret it.Originally Posted by skalogre
Always colored wax. I used Kiwi Light brown and Lincoln dark brown and marine cordovan. If you do the strip down with acetone, you might want to use some shoe cream first before the wax. If I did it again I would probably use cream because the acetone does seem to dry out the leather some. If you do use cream be careful with the color because it will probably soak in and stay relatively permanently. Don't use a color that is extremely different from the boots' original color, because it could turn out blotchy.Originally Posted by j
