I'm trying to keep my TS to 2 pairs but keep wanting to add a loden leeds in addition to loden HM.

I don't see any love for suede HM. I think I have the only one listed. I was sure there would be more given the love for HM here.

You’re right — nobody has been talking about a suede HM. I don’t know why. I would have liked to see an example of the HM in another color of suede. I wonder what the HM would look like in grey or burgundy.

I've got snuff and (now) black suede HMs.
@BagleyBrown has Loden and snuff HMs I think. @polojock615 is likely to have ordered a few. He certainly tried to get me to order at least one...

Ordered the HM in navy suede. Might have done another, but then chili shell happened.

I'm way behind on the suede HM, no pairs yet. I'd love a snuff too. But one at a time, hopefully there will be another suede TS in the future.

Yeah it would have been nice to see something other than just blue. I was thinking grey as well but leaning more to loden.

If they had pictures of either one I think I'd be pushed over the edge.

HM is widely loved here. I already have a suede HM and can get a waxed suede to even further the suede train. Guys have even posted suede Pattons here. Boot suede seems an easy get. Same with Strand. But for some styles like the Leeds, Plymouth, MaNeil and others this is a last chance that you will not see for a long time or ever.

This is how mine turned out. Dull, then shiny after the Bick and VSC.

Nice job!

You never know what will happen. Take each pair as its own. The HM is about as likely to be released on gray as the Plymouth in sand!

Thanks - the b4 and vsc were after acetone, yeah? Please let me know if you come across that thread.

Unfortunately I can’t find the exact page I was looking for, but found a couple other resources.

The Liverpool is a really spectacular boot, one of the best makeups AE has ever offered. But the MSRP is STEEP. I have a pair of the brown suede Liverpools, and to be honest I think the color is a little too dark. I’ve always wanted a snuff suede Liverpool, but at these prices… And I’ve already ponied up for the brown, even if I’m not totally happy with it, I spent the money for it...

I’d pay sticker price for a shell Liverpool, but for a different color of suede the price is pretty high.

Don't hold your breath for shell Liverpool. AE shut that down years ago. Carmina has now stopped as well until they can find a better way to do it without high damage rates. You're looking at EB or similar.

Could sell the bitter choco LPs and order a snuff to replace!

The whole every shell color ends up brown. I'd lost the pic for a while, but here's a guy who wore his reverse black shell a lot.

Spoiler: Reverse to Brown through Love

Awesome patina, but on the other hand it sucks that that olive/taupe tone disappeared.

Agreed!

I also would have thought the loden Higgins or any color Higgins would have been more popular this round. I think we're going to see a lot of TS regret in the next year about the suede Higgins. If this is you, don't let it become your destiny -- order your Higgins today.
