A deer ended up dying on a trail on my property. When the coyotes and buzzards are done with it, which bone should I take for my polishing needs? I'm being serious.

All of them. A $36 a pop, you're sitting on a goldmine there.

The femur is what's sold for shell cordovan care. I imagine it goes through some drying/curing process though. However, rancid deer marrow might provide some nourishing benefits and really let the color bloom. Let us know!

There's frugal, and then there's a recipe for disaster/divorce. If you can afford Alden Shell Cordovan, buy the bone.

Indy 8 Trubalance Shell... NST design ... Antique welt 360 degrees ... These feel great at Barrie and Van last size. My very first TB lasted Alden Boot. I am so happy to find this boot in a 360 leather sole makeup.

Oh man .. Sorry for the quickest edit.. socks are Nike thick athletic to see if these are going to fly up in the mountains this Fall.

I just got some saddle soap. What a great day!

How quickly did you repond? Within minutes?

Man, my property is a vestige of old-school Orange County (the first OC in the US). I may not deny my roots!

Yeah 2 minutes. Extremely lucky this time and last, popped up right when was checking emails.

 

[kwhitelaw]

just checked and I was 2 minutes to respond. majority of my work has me in front of my computer so it worked out this time

These are all, basically, my style. Obviously missing is anything in Ravello, whiskey, or cigar. What should I add (besides the entire Alden collection)?

So what kind of saddles? Just curious - not a saddle guy any way.
