Just when I thought I was out...
LABORDAY20 pulled me back in.

Is anyone aware of any other GS discount codes available? I know the Labor Day sale is active but looking at a non sale pair and trying not to pay full price since i've already purchased 3 pairs in the last 6 months.

Haha, what went into your cart?

There used to be some first-time buyer welcome codes but I haven't seen that advertised recently. But you can get $20 off each regularly-priced pair if you are a member of Stitchdown community, a $5 monthly subscription.

Damn brother - those look:
A) Amazing (that's my profanity-friendly reaction) and
B) very crimson - almost what I'd expect from #8 CXL. Is that the camera or are do they present like that in person?

Thank you Sir. They present a little less crimson in person, so I would think it's the camera and the late evening sun bringing out the reddish tones more. They present more dark brown indoors. Be that as it may, they certainly pop especially with the natural welt - and shine up really well, to boot.

Took laces out to brush the boots and get a look at em. Any thoughts on the leather seperated from the eyelet? It's the same left boot with they few issues I shall not mention.😉 Just a little under 2.5 months on these. Not everyday, but most days.

I agree, these look really great.

Basu - just curious, what is your shining regimen?

Brush hard, that's it - before and after wear. No product used yet because these boots are hardly a few wears old. I tend to stick to the less is more philosophy for any products, especially on leathers like CXL and the like.

Matt - my completely uniformed opinion…

I‘ve lurked here forever. And like a lunatic, went ALL the way back and, for a few months, read EVERY post and saw EVERY pic on this thread. And those boots are completely bad-ass.

IMO, not to insult anyone because I am in the same boat, but I think most here are desk jockeys. Just by your pictures, you seem to wear your boots harder that almost everyone here. Maybe it’s the riding. Maybe you just drag them from you bike on their off days, lol. Unless and until they are really failing, and falling off your foot, I would not worry too much about what is happening on the inside by the tongue or eyelets. Just keep beating them. It’s a fascinating use case to see how far they can go. If I were @GrantStone , I’m getting some free stress testing. Us posters/lurkers get some awesome pix and get to watch the story unfold. And you are the big winner - you are living an interesting life…and your boots reflect that. And my comfy, soft and still perfect suede loafers reflect mine, lol.

It's normal and nothing to worry about.

Thank you very much for that. I just put them on my feet and they go on adventures with me. Not the best pic, but we went to Manhattan Beach for a bit this last weekend.
