Broke out the ruby shell today.

Wore my Carmina shell today too, well for half the day, as I decided to wipe them down with some Alden Leather Defender.

If anyone is interested, I am putting together a Rider Boot Co. GMTO on reddit for either a Cap Toe Boot or Longwing Derby. Both will be available in Horween Shell in the following colors: Mahogany, Dark Cognac, Whiskey, Brown, or Black.

Gentlemen,

I just got word from Skoak that it is a no go on the #4 balmoral boots.

EB's leather merchant could not come through.

So, I went ahead with this "Mahogany" shade:



What do you guys think?

Thanks.

The color seems close enough. Does it matter to you? Except in the case of telling people that they're the coveted "color 4"?

I, too, had to do the same as I had a norvegese cap toe in color 4 MTO on order. I think the mahogany is beautiful as well and most likely more universal and wearable with many more outfits. So I think I will be satisified, even though I'm not getting color 4
