@RTP, Leffot tabacco chamois pre-order goes live tomorrow!

Your read my mind!! Not sure which I prefer, the brown chrmxl or the tobacco chmois. The commando sole may be the determining factor. Thanks for the heads up my friend!

you got it. I say tobacco chamois all the way. That shoe will prefer much better overall in sloppy weather than the brown CXL version

I wish leffot's reverse chamois boots had brass eyelets.

I, for one prefer the smooth chamois.
It is just as resilient as the reverse, but with a more vintage feel.
Old pic, but ....you get the idea.

How old are these?

Curious how the leather ages. I am basically always between NATCXL and the chamois for a winter beater.

Me too. While we're at it, also I wish they would stop talking about "Zug" on the Edward Green Appreciation Thread.

This is with ~1 year of wear.
I wore them a ton through the Pennsylvania winter.

It sure is a rugged looking leather, very nice. I guess I will keep debating haha
