Put some polish on "...for the week...
Few observations-
Shell construction seems somehow superior, feels more robust and heavier
Vass seems to have refined the channel stitching.These seems almost unnoticeable.Perhaps this is the beauty f handmade and a single artisan making each individual shoes.
The soles on both does not have the JR stamp, not sure if they have switched. they look and feel identical to the JR stamped soles.
This is the patented "tomcat method" :D


They are beautimous!

I think I would have a hard time wearing them they are so perfect.

Please explain the tomcat method, sir.

As it appears in the photo that you are serving them for lunch may I presume your method tenderizes as it polishes? :rimshot: :bigstar:

Ha ha you would need the Texas sun for tenderizing ..its the key :)

---out in the sun for 30 to 45 mins
--- light brushing(never vigourous, rapid or anything else)
---damp cloth dipped in Kiwi wax (AE doesnt work well for some reason) rubbed lightly all over
--- light buffing with brush
--- buff with soft cloth
--- repeat
--- final buffing horizontally on the toes and vamp with silk cloth

results guaranteed :nodding::
I'll pm you my patent charges.:D
