Gorgeous! What color are these?
Those are the Bordeaux burnished chinchilla (not chinchilla leather, apparently it’s a region in Australia).

each pair is unique as hand burnished. I’ve another pair...trying tho think what they’re called...but they’re lighter. Look brilliant with denim.

Thanks - I thought they might be Bordeaux, but I also thought they might be Burgundy (hard to tell with the natural light versus the studio shots on the R.M. Williams site)... :)

When I went ballistic on RM’s they only had the Cognac (just checked..) and these. I’ve seen pairs that were over or under burnished. It’s probably better to see the exact pair or have the shop picture for you as they can be wildly different.

As an aside, these are really dressy, but the kangaroo version on comfort soles are just about the perfect footwear. Supple, soft and classy as hell. I’ve all those too...?

Appreciate the tips! BTW: I don't find any Kangaroo on the main site; is that a special order leather?
