Union made plain toe milkshake, don't know the name of it. They are a few years old, and the memory aint what it used to be I'm considering selling them, as I only wear them about 2x a year.

Don’t you have enough pairs that 2x a year is just normal rotation?

milkshake suede and red wine, what could go wrong with that combo. Yes, the boots are on the kitchen counter and I don't care. View attachment 1590429

My wife is wearing off on me. As I'm staring at this picture I kept thinking 'nice kitchen'.

I think it depends.

And not to sound sexist but I often translate statements such as this one like this:

• Wife says: I think I want to upgrade/replace the Kitchen?
• Husband thinks: What is this going to cost? We do not need a contractor because I can use power tools.
• Husband says: Good idea and it will increase our home value.

4 X a year would be a normal rotation, IF I wore every pair from every company. I find myself gravitating to a few, that I really like a lot, while others languish unworn in their bags. Thus, some get more "rotation" than others.

Love those boots james. Is that the Glenwood boot?

Researched it and according to Alden Model Project, it was called the Sloat boot, by UnionMade.

Please go back and review my suede treatment plan. Then you can do whatever the heck you want with those milkshakes. You might even get some scampi on them.

I have little experience with celebrities. But Marie Osmond once said to me, "Come home to me right now" on a telephone call. Unsurprisingly, it was a case of mistaken identity as she thought I was someone else. True story. But had I been wearing shiny Alden PTBs, it could have been a fence sitter.

Quick question. How do you take care of reverse chamois? My first thought was Saphir omni nettoyant. However it's a shampoo-ish product, I am doubting it would dissolves the wax layer on reverse chamois. Any thoughts?

Typically nothing. If they dry out, you can spray some neatsfoot very sparingly.
