Fantastic. I never get tired of looking at these, Patrick B. These pics are also the reason I bought the J. Crew PCT. Great boots!

Nice! My wife wants to join the Slow Roll in Detroit one of these days. Props for biking in your King LWBs!

Never seen Aberdeen last with commando sole. Nice concept ...

Been wanting to clean my reverse chamois Greenwich boots for a while and could never really find a solid answer. They just felt like they needed some love. A while back I finally just emailed Horween to see what they suggested and they mentioned just brushing them and conditioning them with neatsfoot oil. I finally got around to grabbing some oil and working on them.

Brushed them down with a suede brush fairly well before starting, I did not do anything to try and treat indigo stains as I figured they are not very visible and won't be at all after the oil.

I have to say I am blown away at how close this process seems to bring them back to the original NIB look. I can't wait to break them back in, it's like having a new pair of shoes.

Great job. Could you tell me what brand and type of suede brush you used? Thanks

That was me and the BR belt is decent for the price I grabbed it at. I was at Nordstrom a few weeks ago and they were clearing out the Allen Edmonds Wide Basic belt in Bitter Chocolate Suede for $45CAD so I decided to pick it up and see how it went with tobacco reverse chamois since I do not own any brown suede. Turned out to be a great match and it is a much better quality belt, has much more suede nap, is thicker and sturdier overall yet still seems to have a slight bit of red undertone. http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/producti_SF39537_1_40000000001_-1?style=39537

Side by side with the BR belt.

Thanks for the follow up. The AE belt does look to be a much better match. I'll probably pick it up instead!

I figured you guys would be all over the TSM irregulars. Not much in 8.5D just like last time.

Once again not getting the emails...

Nothing new or notable in 7.5D and 8D. There used to be much more selection. Curiously, though, still in perfect multiples of 5... Has anyone else noticed that?
