I did see your IG post on these. However, i don't see this model or the Medallion Range you mention on their website. Did you get these in person?
Btw, sharing my Argentines Dux soft square Equites that I coped from yeossal a few years back. Really like how the patina has turned out over time
I initially tried darkening the toe caps when i first purchased the shoes but did a horrendous job. The colors just looked absolutely awful. I recall hurrying out the house to buy some Saphir Renomat to strip away the wax. A few layers of shoe polish/wax from Ascot Shoes and wala the shine is what you see now. Didn't use any cream although on hindsight i suppose i should have. I'm a lazy shoe polisher... I need to train my wife to polish my shoes. HAHAHA...Amazing patina! May I know the polishing routine to bring out this natural patina? Wax-only or a mix or cream and wax?

I used Renonat in the past, but after destroying the patina on a pair of Bontoni, I gave up.
Later Antonio was consulted and he was generous enough to teach me to use natural turpentine - which turns out to be much safer for the shoes. If turpentine cannot be purchased from the pharmacy, clear cream from Saphir (which contains turpentine) works as well.
Regarding pigmented cream, I am slowly drifting away from those as well. The colour simply is too opaque and not nuanced. Now I am testing out Berluti wax, which is made by Avel like Saphir, but sales associates claimed that they requested a different formulation...
@styc do you have experience with Boot Black nano-pigment cream? I am tempted as they claim the colour will turn permanent with repeated application.
I have always wanted Utah calf. Guess it is still too hard-wearing? ???
Pigskin GMTO just completed by Yeossal some time ago. My friend got it. He thought the pair is better than Edward Green Dover.

That turpentine method with Saphir neutral cream Can also be applied to remove Mirror shine finishes ?? Or is just a soft cleaning prior to a routine polishing ?I used Renonat in the past, but after destroying the patina on a pair of Bontoni, I gave up.

How many more pairs do you need to unlock the Yeossal price?Taking into account this is direct from Antonio the base price should be the best possible, although shipping charges may need to be sorted out.
I think GMTO prices gets progressively lower with 6, 12 and 24 pairs. So the more participants, the better - particular those who want a "softer leather" and missed the previous GMTOs
Anyway... it's a beautiful model, especially for the pigskin version. Hope it will become yet another very successful GMTO!

Collections Shoe Cream
85g in jar (6 colors available)(NEW)
■This is an emulsified shoe cream which benefits highly coloring effect with a combination water based color dye and water based nanoparticle pigment.
■You will gradually achieve deep color tone as long as you use repeatedly for a long time.■Specially formulated with argan oil which provides moisturizing effect.■Choose slight darker tone cream than actual tone of the target shoes if you want to achieve antique finishing.※Dyed color can not be removed from leather even if you use a cleaner. Test before use on an inconspicuous area to see its dyeing affinity
oooo... tempting but I better tone down my purchases the next few months. I have just added four new pairs in the past month plus I am running out of space in my house! Perhaps I need to move to a bigger place soon. ?How many more pairs do you need to unlock the Yeossal price?Taking into account this is direct from Antonio the base price should be the best possible, although shipping charges may need to be sorted out.
