NewStart, beautiful Tetburys. but to my eyes, it looks like the left boot is a much lighter shade of brown than the right. Could just be the lighting...
Can someone provide a simple rundown of the differences between hand-grade and bench-grade shoes?
Much thanks!
- Oak bark, closed-channel soles (HG) vs. unknown, open-channel soles (BG).
- Full sock liner (HG) vs. partial (BG)
- Closer edge trimming and other finishing details for HG
- Better leather quality for HG (I don't know how to be more specific, but C&J claims this and it conforms to my own personal experience, that HG leather is softer and creases less deeply than BG)
