I had BNelson dark stain the welt of my cigar LWBs a number of months ago. I liked the result.

When I talk of suits, I am talking of suits worn for professional business dress. I don't wear cotton or linen suits, but I have no objection to them. And certainly less formal shoes can be worn with those.

I figured as much, in which case I agree that whiskey is definitely off limits.

Yes, they've done that for me as well and the results were terrific.

Is there a particular flannel cloth you guys recommend for buffing shell?

 

Also, in the Mac Method is says to wipe with a damp cloth. does the cloth matter? can I use like a handtowel or something? I have always used a slightly different method and want to try this. Thanks!!

I've decided I want my first pair of Alden's, and I want them to be natural CXL. I love all the CXL boots, but I'm looking for bluchers for this purchase. Besides the PTB and the LWB on ShoeMart, which other options do I have, if any?
