I like the look of the Elgin, and my dad wore Clark's Desert boots back in the early 70's...on his off days.

I talked to the designer of the rough line last night. He recommended saddle soap only (and mink oil for the chili edge dressing on the Black hills). I've had a no problem with my finish.

I've got a pair of the Elgins in tan and the McTavish in black. I love the look of the contrast stitching on the McTavishes. These shoes have a lot of character, and they both look great with a pair of jeans, and honestly don't look stuffy. Wearing the Strand or McAllister with jeans would look 'dad on his day off'. :) These are a perfect step down in dressiness, while still being put together.
