I want to give special recognition to @Nicks Boots Shuyler for going out of his way to provide perhaps the best customer care I’ve ever received. Shuyler, I come to you hat in hand to say thank you.

Now that I’ve cleared that up, check out these BEAUTIES! I’ll get some more pics later & gather some thoughts but here is an unboxing pic & a nice shot Shuyler sent me before they shipped:

Thank you. It's Oil Tanned Latigo in Tan. So I had to google up what exactly that means, but it appears Latigo is a unique tanning process that starts off by Chrome Tanning the hide & then finished by Vegetable Tanning. If anyone has any additional info or insight I'd like to learn more about this stuff.
