I hear ya TC. Anticipation my-man…….

Easter brunch with family and friends and decided to bust out some gorgeous Ravello. All bloomed-up from winter storage and my normal wipe didn’t seem to do the trick so I reluctantly added a little product. Love these shoes…….

Can't always come home to the Green box but the next best thing is a white USPS one when the contents come from our resident ebay proprietor, @MrDV. Grabbed these Aberdeen E-width beauties originating from AoM. Owned a D-width pair when I first got into this game, well before I understood Alden sizing. After much pain and unsuccessful attempts at stretching, had to sell. Been chasing a pair ever since.........

Shoes arrived in great shape but I still went through my normal routine when grabbing preowned. Water, heavy coat of Bick4, 20 minutes later a little brushing and finish up with some Collonil 1909. I generally use neutral but did go with Burgundy this time. Quite please.

I’m glad you like them Shawn. Wear them in good health my friend.

Great shoes! What last are those btw?

Is it a bad idea to add topy to a pair of unlined suede LHS? Concerned it might look a bit odd on an unlined shoe meant for warm weather, but I tend to grind down leather soles super fast.
