Goodness, what happened with this resole:

Seller claims they are "new" - look like trash.

Is this run just regular chromexcel roughout or am I missing something

It is just natty cxl roughout but on the ammo boot pattern that Himel has used for its past collabs with Viberg. Nothing special unless you have a hard-on for the ammo boot pattern for some reason.

Natty CXL that is processed to be used as RO is Marine Field RO. Basically Horween evens out the nap a bit, most of the natty CXL RO we see is officially called Marine Field RO. The only place I know of sueding Natty CXL themselves is Miyagi Kogyo (John Lofgren) but there's no real difference between the leather sueded at the tannery or sueded by a third or second party.

Debating between the grey oiled culatta, husk oiled culatta and waxy zulu kudu for the patina thunder dome. Anyone have any guesses for which would patina best? I'm intrigued by the 1035 D last for the grey oiled culatta and the color itself, but the nubuck finishing of the zulu kudu interests me as well.
