So what's the difference between Scotch grain and zug grain?The Scotch grain LWB is classic, but I had to look hard to find a pair. Fortunately, an Alden retailer had that makeup.

Suited, those shoes are nice but I think that counter top has been around the block a few times. I have seen it hang out with many other pairs of nice shoes.
I am certainly no expert on various leathers, but to me the two look identical. Same textured grain. In looking around the Internet the only thing I could find was that the Zug grain is basically waterproof and quite sturdy. Perhaps someone with more expertise can let us know if there is an actual difference between the two and if so, what that is.
That sounds delicious.The tanners of the Zug area utilized a milk chocolate syrup in much the same manner as the Scots of Islay. The chocolate imparts the characteristic dark brown color and natural waterproofing of Zug leather.
Question: Wikipedia says liquid shoe polish can cause shoes to dry out and crack. Has that happened to anyone here? If so, can someone recommend a cream polish instead?
Too far gone? Sounds like quitter talk.
You're not a quitter, are you?
