Cheers PD.
I always try and find listings where people don't really know what they're selling, or the appeal the item would have to certain groups of people if they used the right keywords in their listing.
Another couple of recent purchases :

Gant shirt (£8/$10.50)

Emilio Pucci tie (£18/$23)
Pretty pricey, but cheap for a Pucci necktie

I was actually looking for Pucci headscarf for Mrs Inks when I came across the tie. It's quite restrained for a Pucci.

Hi Get Smart, I’ve just invested in a pair of the Soloviar Burgandy Money Boots (part of the lifestyle collection) and a pair of DM MIE Oxblood Boots. I’m just wondering what polish etc you use and the technique that you use to get these looking as amazing as this? Your boots look incredible!!
Also, Oxblood Boots look like they come with similar colour laces. Should I get black instead? Cheers mate.

thanks. I use Saphir pate de luxe burgundy and black. I’ll polish with one color a few times then switch to the other and back. I’ll also throw in some Saphir burgundy Creme which seems to add a deepness to the leather color moreso than the wax polish. Finally I’ll finish up with a few coats of Saphir burgundy mirror gloss polish. So I use a good mix of stuff. You get that mirror shine by basically polishing the polish. So to speak. So it takes a lot of good coats. And use water when starting to buff it out. And only mirror shine the toe area and back at heel quarters. Don’t do it in the areas that will crease (like top of the vamp) as it will crack and look ******.

lace color is purely subjective. I like black with Oxblood. Or white if it’s 8-10i boots.

That's great Get Smart. Thanks for the info. Will definitely invest in some of that Saphir polish and creme etc. When you mention using water when buffing it out, what exactly do you mean? Cheers

It’s the concept behind a “spit shine”. You put polish on shoe. Let dry. Then when you go to buff it out you add some water to your rag and using a circular motion you massage the water into the dried polish. Then you buff it with a dry cloth or shoe brush. Repeat and repeat. The moisture in the water (or your spit if you so choose) brings out the luster in the polish.

Here are some Oxblood Dr Martens 1460 boot (made in England) that I wore yesterday. Boots from 2006. Haven’t worn in a while so I just polished them the night before using method above. (No filter)

Those look incredible mate. Really appreciate all the info and your time to go through this with me. I’m definitely going to write those instructions down and give it a go. Hopefully I won’t mess up the boots in the process. Wish me luck!! Cheers

Personally, l find spit works better than water for some reason .
My father who had been in the services showed me how to do it , sometimes he used water and sometimes spit , personal choice but it is time consuming either way. .
