They look fantastic, I have a pair of HH 8 inch smoke jumpers in burgundy and I hope they age as well as yours.

What is your routine? What products do you use?

International shipping of packages appears to be closed. (Thank God I got my boots a few weeks ago). Could affect some people here.

@discomute
Which Country do you reside?
Was this a decision to disallow packages from the US as decided by your government because of safety precautions?

Australia. Not just US but all international packages. For whatever reasons letters will still make it but it will be up to six weeks.

The article says things as similar in the US but I don't know that for a fact.

Wow!

pretty much MDO wax in neutral for HH. I did put some VSC on prior to this though for some actual conditioning.
Other than that, just a good brushing now & then.

When you start with quality leather, minimal treatment with good products is all that is required. Your HH is very nice looking... the character really shows through!

I wish more people understood that just keeping shoe trees in your boots, not wearing the same pair two days in a row, cleaning off obvious dirt and mud, and brushing with a HH brush is like 90% of the battle in boot longevity and keeping them looking good.

Not shoe trees.

Wow the current British Tan is dark

Wow the current British Tan is dark

it seems a bit lighter than the photos let on, it’s a pretty nice color in my opinion. I wasn’t 100% sure I was going to be happy with the color, but they are pretty nice.

I like it. The undertones are still tan and they look a lot more toffee than traditional brown cxl.

On another note... has White's ever offered a sole option that's somewhere between the Vibram 430 and 100? I keep seeing that Truman Itshide commando sole and wishing for similar on a Bounty Hunter. I have 430 soles on my Red Wings and I find them pretty useless grip-wise, but the 100 full-lug sole would be total overkill while the commando half sole is too soft and shallow to have any decent longevity IMO.
