Have you wearing them often? They look great

At least once or twice per week since they arrived, around a year ago.

Actually Horween Kudu isn't the Antelope Leather "Kudu" it's a cow hide variant of Chromexcel with a lot of oil worked into it.
Do a "ctrl-f" on this page and search Kudu and you'll see a description from Horween in the comments.

"-Kudu Chromexcel – Plainsman that has been hand-curried (oiled by hand)"

Alden did some "Indy Boots" in it for a while.

Love the first pic! What last and sole type will it be on?

And you once mentioned that Carmina doesn't have a Polo Suede like G&G; did that change?

Great styles, man! Will try to finally stop by the shop next month. Still finalizing travel plans

Agreed. Love the split toe. Is Carmina's polo suede similar to G&G's?

Does anyone in the know...know...whether Carmina offers a wholecut in any type of museum finish in calf? Looked on their site but they only show shell.

Diglett! Balligators would not be so awesome on forest.

Dress boot + sleek last = yes
