The Maryam waxed horsebutt is super cool, I didn’t realize it would go from a matte finish to a smooth finish. Here you can see in the high contact zone how fast the wax has come off (worn about 10 miles or so)

More horsebutt "bug bites"? I wonder what they really are.

Calvados Shell Wholecuts. The 9D equal width wise to the 8.5E, just a smidge longer. Its a real good fit and I'll be ordering a 9D for future 2030s where its offered.
What is your brannock? What size do you take on Alden Barrie and Trubalance?

Which pair is this exactly? Also - does anyone have any pics of some worn in viberg tea cores? I snagged some second hand and I thought the most recent drop was the second release of that leather

Yeah this is the left boot, it’s two completely different colors on the inside

View attachment 1809491
Oh wow the other boots inside looks like a completely different leather to me. It doesn’t even look like the leather is dyed all the way threw on the other boot. I’m assuming that’s because you’ve worn them a lot and that’s patina?

Ah ok, so you were one size down previously and now will go with half down, which is same as Barrie/TB.
Only with a D width option on 2030. Its really going to depend on the last.

Camel Hair Waxed Kudu 310s. Can't state how extremely soft the leather is out of the box. I'm also definitely converted on the 310 last. It was pretty polarizing to me at first, but after seeing them in person and on foot, I'm a changed man.

i was wondering what makes Chamois special? I’ll be the first one to admit it looks great. How is it different then any other rough out hide tho?
