Speaking of custom MPs, which of you ordered the Natural Veg MPs Bakers posted on IG?
I could not find this on their IG. Link?
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

What is that last like?The Nomad is on the 1970 last.
i think They may be reworking the last for the engineer line.
Awesome. You realise you're going to have to give us 'patina updates' once a week between now and, well, the end of time?
They're going to look so good with a few miles on them!
Nope, unfortunately 2,000 miles from nearest seller. But i did up size 1 width.Did you try on the Hendrik? I found them to be very narrow.
...Of course they won't be getting very much wear while I'm WFH, but we opened a new office so I will be walking to work every day so they will be getting some good use in the future!
That pair is about 5 years old, as I recall I did request it on the order form and got it. Some people here have subsequently requested the same and were told it could not be done.Did you request the extra eyelet? I’d like to get that if possible..
The Natural Veg Tan looks great, but I have no experience with caring for this type of leather. I know they darken as they age, and sunlight (UV) hastens this, as will treatment products that darken the leather.That would be me! They are on the way to me as we speak.
Im going to venture to say that would be impossible. Only situation I see this being viable is only inside wear, never conditioning and they are still going to evolve. Its an interesting leather, putting in the the sun even a few hours will start to turn it a pinkish hue. Few days (especially with a little conditioner) brings that thing to a more golden color. Basically all done due to UV light. Even belts see dramatic changes in color and consistency. Boots made of this are going to be nuts.The Natural Veg Tan looks great, but I have no experience with caring for this type of leather.

If one wanted to keep the Veg Tan as light as possible for as long as possible, yet still condition and protect it, what products would one use?
Is there even a product that will treat and protect but not darken Veg Tan leather? I was thinking something with UV blockers would be the ticket, but short of putting sunscreen on my boots (I draw the line at sunscreen... baby wipes are OK, sunscreen is a bridge too far) what would one use?
Recommendations?
It's not necessarily the conditioner itself. Its the addition of oils that will accelerate patina. And by its nature, it also attracts dirty and dust. It becomes incredibly apparent on a naked leather like this.What about Bick 4? I have used it on cowhide veg tan leather and it does not seem to darken much, if any.
