The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread

[jcman311]



jcman311, give them a small coat of Venetian cream and you'll see why it's the best one for shell cordovan. Cotton flannel is likely more gentle than brushes for buffing the hide, and won't scratch the dye off. Wear them in health!

Thanks, I'll give it a whirl. I did use a little saphir cordovan creme with ok results. I did notice that brushing brought up the oils in the hide and using a cloth smoothed it out/ shined it up.

It seems that Crockett&Jones has raised their retail prices, so Carmina offers the most shoe at their mid-range price segment at the moment. I would mention Meermin, but they have such a poor quality control that you never know what kind of a "shoe" they'll ship, and this may happen several times for the same customer. Rule Carmina.
