Patina on vintage Nettleton Traditionals

[Beto88keys]

Hello, Gentlemen. This is my first post in this forum.

I just wanted to show you a patina I did on a pair of vintage Nettletons.

This pair of vintage Nettleton Traditionals (circa 1970-1980) were sent to me to try to mask some damage to the vamps caused by dryness of the leather. These shoes were purchased "New Old Stock" and while they looked new, they had been sitting for decades without being conditioned, causing the leather to become brittle in some places. Thankfully, we were able to cover the damage with this patina...

What do you guy think?

Really impressive. I think that looks quite a natural patina resulting from years of wear and polishing.

I am no fan of long wings, but you are a true artisan.
