Cigar Bal’s for me today. Darkened the antique edges…….



Standards are low, but I always say brown muddy water is better than none. For Pittsburgh, this is a really nice view………



Happy Friday-eve Gents. Have a great day.

Still one of my favorite make ups ever. They look great with slightly darker edges. Which edge dressing do you use? I’ve been meaning to do this to a pair of boots.

Thanks and my thoughts exactly. Other than 8, anytime I darken edges I always go dark brown rather than black. Unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to do it with edge dressing so I use Feiblings Dark Brown Dye. Requires painters tape, a steady hand and a high degree of confidence as the margin for error is non-existent. I’ve done it enough to know that if I go slow, it will usually turn out fine.

Ravello PTB on TB landed today and they look amazing. I like brass hardware, just not really my style. The brass on these are a little muted so I’ll test drive them for a year or so and see how I feel. Solo and family shot with my Ravello Caps that I still say are the best shade of Ravello I’ve seen…….

I have these, they’re awesome! Rusty old snuff was the best.

Love how dark these are

They look a bit lighter with indirect sunlight. They’re a bit faded compared to my 986
