I dunno maybe i'm being picky. This is just from the one shoe. Maybe try some leather creme on it and see how it looks?

Handgrade vs main questions
- Worth the extra expenditure?

Generally speaking, does the dark brown shell cordovan tend to patina well if you don't use shell creme? I would imagine it would lighten a bit as opposed to darken?
Time to post a group photo?I have many pairs of handgrade C&J and a couple of pairs of mainline and I always make myself this question: why are people paying those prices for mainline C&J when for a little more the have a far superior product with the handgrade line?

I have 2 brown shell cordovan shoes and both have lightened over time. I actually like how they look over Color 8.
Well I also think that handragde is worth the money and better than main line however some designs (e.g. my favourite shoes of my entire shoe collection - Tetburys) are not available in handgradeI have many pairs of handgrade C&J and a couple of pairs of mainline and I always make myself this question: why are people paying those prices for mainline C&J when for a little more the have a far superior product with the handgrade line?
Indeed, never understood the main line vs handgrade debate. Most of the times the two lines do not overlap and have unique styles. There are plenty of iconic models from mainline that have no counterpart in handgrade line (Galway, Coniston, Pembroke, Snowdon, Tetbury, Edgware, Swansea etc..).Well I also think that handragde is worth the money and better than main line however some designs (e.g. my favourite shoes of my entire shoe collection - Tetburys) are not available in handgrade
