If you don't mind something a little more rugged I've had great success with red wing boot laces. (the ones that came with my GT's are perfect on my tankers)
If you go on the red wing heritage site you can request a free pair.

What's the correct style number to use here?

You can have one too.

Interesting conversation on Deer bones here: http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/forum/showthread.php?111762-Deer-Bone-for-Shell-Cordovan

My common-spidey-sense questions the usefulness of the item though. Seems like one could get the same benefit from pressure, Saphire and the Mac Method.

A quick note. I'm very happy I chose the Chamois LW for my rough wear shoe. While out at the store I dropped a baby bottle of food right next to my shoe. Glass shards and bright yellow food everywhere! It came right off with no stain. I wiped it off with a wet towel and then brushed the food out of the brogue holes a little later. No problem.

Necro. Love that look. Going to try out the natural indys. Hopefully sizing down from a 9D to 8E in barrie will work. If not, to the f/s they go.

sorry i am pretty short, 5'4", so not the best 6' sized typical tall look for ya!

i am loving' the Indy's regardless, such a great material, build and color combo Alden has made with this shoe in my opinion.







Nice combo!

Alright, nobody told me you could turn cap toe boots into wingtip bals with the deer bone. That is voodoo magic.

Great video, Namor

seeing that reminds me,
can anyone recommend a good (and not crazy expensive) source for large horsehair brushes?

Can anyone else with Chamois Longwing Blucher's from Leffot comment on how these fit? Considering sizing down to 8D from 9D since that's the only size left and I've heard these fit abit large (for Barrie).
