X-Post from the leather jacket thread:

Serie-Noire was absolutely fantastic to deal with and below are the results.

Super thick, heavy calf Rick Owens stooges in size 50. Of the few RO's i handled this is by far the best one.

thanks for getting this going @nicelynice and @thekunk07

now for @RFX45 to drop some cool pics like the below

Stooges in blood colorway

The upcoming seasons calf stooges is the best I've seen in a while that isn't oiled calf (doesn't look like oiled calf), just looks so thick and robust. Not sure how it differs from the other stooges but Forward calls it "Cowboy Stooges"?

What do you guys use to care for the leather jackets? Is saphir renovateour ok? And should I just put it on and let it dry or is there anything else I should do for the leather?

 

[thekunk07]

not the right place for the ?

Umm @AceBoogie ask in either the leather jackets thread or the shoe care thread.
