Thanks? they look even better in the sunlight. Man those turned out fantastic!
Yea maybe not paint like paint but some kind of shallow top coat that does not soak in.Dude, those look excellent outdoors. They're actually close to what current color 4 looks like in my opinion. Very well done.
Not sure exactly which tannery Trickers uses but the wallet that I mentioned upthread was italian shell from Rocado (95% sure). In my case, I did not get the impression that the shell was painted, however, I DID have the view that it was more of a surface dye that was prone to showing the base color of the shell gradually over time. I really tend to doubt that the shell is being painted quite in the way that you are thinking.
The couterpoint to this is some of the color issues that I've seen with, I think, Shinki shell that Meermin tends to use. I've seen some examples where there seems to be some color loss and flaking (not sure how else to describe) in the rolls or tight creases. Doesn't seem to be every sample but have seen it a few times.
This whole exp makes me want to hunt down old shell shoes and boots that look like crap and turn them around.
This is a perfect example of Shell cordovan life expectancy. Your tan shoes looked old, and now you have brand new-looking Burgundy shoes.
Yea not sure but all my Horween shell seems deep soaked with color. I have a few that got deep scratches and deer bone and some brushing and gone.I’m about 99% sure those Tricker’s are Comipel cordovan. They have done a few in Horween cordovan but they’ve been prominently marked as such.
Here are the results. Please excuse my dog's bullystick. These were a pair of J&M shell tassels off ebay with really uneven coloring.

Those came out nice and the sun really brings out the color.
Do you happen to have before shots? maybe the ebay listing shots.

I got really worried when you said "bullystick". I had no idea what the hell I was about to see next to your shoes.
Have you had a fair amount of dye coming off as you wipe down with a rag?
Just wait till you google what a bullystick is made out of...
That is very normal.
Even after everything is dried?

One of AE's most elegant designs, imo.
