Cordovan boots

There really is nothing like a great shoeshine.

Those are gaziano + girling.

Yep - Thats the Canterbury - Heres mine in black shell :

Deer bone? First time I've ever heard of that

wish you could get a shine like that in new york.

That is right. They are in the Jet Blue terminal at JFK (may be opening another there as well), but that isn't exactly local to us city dwellers.

deer bone...interesting. I'm going to try it out.

The shiners that work a BNelson's are actually quite good. I had a couple of hours on a Saturday when I was last in New York and the lady there spent almost half an hour mirror shining my zug grain Trickers to perfection. I was shocked by how amazing the shine was on the impossible-to-shine country leather.

That's good to know. Maybe I will check them out.

You can sometimes fix small gouges/cracks in shell cordovan with a deer bone.

They're right across the hall from On the Fly in Embarcadero Center, right?

That's right.
