Got home at a reasonable time to get some nice outdoor photos of the Loden Suede "Glenwood" Plain Toe Boots I recently received from our friends at Ealdwine. Loden suede is so unique with all the different tones and will be in heavy rotation this Fall! Invulner and some Olive Round Boot Laces from Guarded Goods will be next on the agenda for these before their maiden voyage.

Early morning BB game for my 12-yo cousin. Haven't seen him play in a few years. Appears as though he's got a little game. Modified AoM Suede Splits get the call......

Still can't believe how the lawn looks......

My trusty suede dovers still look quite good in this pic from the spring. However, the soles are now starting to go. They are so thin/soft in the middle that there will be hole soon.

My problem is that I'm in Europe and would prefer to have the remade here, but using original flex soles. Anyone knows if that is possible?

The retailer you bought them from might be able to arrange for them to go back to Alden for a recraft. Or another retailer in your area with whom you have a relationship.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I'm wondering how you guys maintain the look of your contrast apron stitching. I love my Indys and wear them all the time. I always polish with neutral creams, but over time the white contrast stitching has become dull/muted. Does anyone have any tricks to bring back that bright white contrast?

Oooooh, you know I always appreciate the words, but @MrDV? I think the folks at Augusta call him for pointers. Regardless, appreciate the compliment Mayor, thanks!

Bick4 and a microfiber cloth is what I use
