Anyone have some "in the wild" Whiskey Harlech images?
Thanks.. enjoy the games today..
Hi Chipshot. Here are a few pics of mine. I don't wear them anymore :( .
I loved everything about them.
Except that I bought them a half size too small so they are quite painful to wear. Guess it was a good learning experience as I haven't made this type of mistake since...

I'm thinking about letting them go...

No other boot of mine has ever sold quicker. I made the same mistake, sold them and then bought new ones 1/2 size up. Awaiting delivery!

Which size did you buy? Half size down from your usual C&J size?

Ordered my normal C&J size. This last fits me better than all of my C&J.

Stephen, quick question: what's your maintenance routine for cordovan boots? Do you apply saphir products at all or just brush? Thank you.

Yes and yes.

I try to match the properly pigmented saphir cordovan cream when there are scuffs. Otherwise I just ensure I use Bicks if they are looking as though they need it and brush. Typically, I leave it on overnight at least, and then hit them with the brush pretty good. Never have used panty hose, but then I’m not interested in a shine.
