New purchase from a generous fellow member, always a great interaction/experience my man.

Not the greatest photo but I haven’t worn them yet either. I mean.....aside from trying them on in the house and absolutely loving them.?

Outstanding pickup, MrChest. I feel very lucky and fortunate to have a pair as well. I still haven’t worn them out of the apartment, but will likely do so in the next week or two.

Is the reverse the rough side? I have the smooth side Earth cham Indy from AOC, its just a fantastic boot!

Thanks a million. Your shoe care regimen is worthy of emulation; your shoes always look great!
And, Sorry to wear you out with questions doc. To you and group. Anyone recommend a pig bristle brush? Not sure I've ever seen one.


oh my gosh those are sweet tassels!

Just google pig bristled brush and you will find them. I like them because they have a stiffer bristle then the horse brush and I find they are very effective for quick cleaning in bloom removal. They also are excellent on suede for bringing back up the nap.

Same here MC. Knowing they went to you will ease the disappointment of no longer owning them. Looking forward to seeing on-feet pic's. Enjoy and thanks for a great transaction.

Cigar LHSes today. Doc has me out of the pool for a while so sorry for the old man white legs.

You can use some burgundy Saphir cordovan cream on the lighter shoe to bring the color back. Or you can leave the darker shoe out in the sun for a bit to lighten it.

Aarondb4,

Thank you for the reply. I will order a jar today. I will update the forum on the outcome.
