I see they did a little featurette with Horween on their website.

Wish they would do Harvard in #8 shell!

As much as I like as the shoes look after the treatment, I also find that they have become noticeably darker, probably the effect of having used some wax, as you said in a following message.

But it's likely just a matter of time for the leather to regain its original shade.

If you look at the brightness of the floor in both pictures you will note that it's darker in the 'after'-picture. Different light and surely a different warmth of the light and a darker exposure, it all makes a difference and adds up.

I absolutely think that the neutral polish gave @Ypuh 's Pembroke an enormous boost and a gorgeous refresh of the colour with a darker saturation, but I think it's a bit less than the pictures suggest. My Pembrokes didn't get that dark with a neutral polish, but mine were also not as faded as his seemed to have been before.

Unless @Ypuh used a coloured wax, a neutral wax would rather add brightness because of the shine.

But hey, anyway, they look stellar now! @Ypuh , I'm happy for you! 👯‍♂️🥳👯‍♀️

Guys, no panic regarding Tan Scotch Grain week. I can confirm the rumours that the UN General Assembly will be having an additional plenary session on the urgent subject and growing pressure of adding Tan Scotch Grain Week as an international celebration!

Socks by southern scholar - TSG bought in 2010 - still going strong. I polish them with light brown #3 saphir
