Avatar change?

Yes! The great avatar change of 2015.

Guess that makes my decision on the cigar. Waited to long to decide. I called at 12 yesterday and it was there with 2 whiskey. However the pics from that whiskey run seemed a bit off from what I was hoping for.

Now just to get a hold of Kathy...

I know this question has been asked before but...

1 - Is it safe to use a bit of saphir cordovan cream on shell?

2 - what is good edge dressing to use for antique edge?

thanks Gents.

Steel, I use Saphir Cordovan Cream occasionally on my shells. I find it helps to hydrate the leather.

For the second, look at the FAQ that I just posted. It provides some antique edge trim instructions for ya. It is in my signature if you are on the desktop version.

Does anyone have pictures of the AoC AF125?
Black suede Indy boots on commando. I think they would be a perfect gift for my new father in law but I wanted to see if they have contrast stitching or anything else he might not like.

Thanks!

Yes! The great avatar change of 2015.

Guess I need to put up an avatar instead off my real picture.

I paid via PayPal. It works well except it called me to verify I wanted to buy them. Of course it called me when on BlueTooth with wife in car (I didn't feel a need to mention it to her).

Make sure Frans writes Goods Made in US on the package. Pretty sure he knows the gig.

mdubs is correct. I've purchase from FB before, pretty smooth process via Paypal. However I did get a COD when it was dropped off, turned out to be customs fee. FB did mark the box as "Goods Made in US" and included all the paperwork.

Hope that helps,

not sure they need to be changed.

I would add yours to the list, RTP, but I like the new one.

Thank you my friend. I like your new one too!

I've decided to get the 9 eyelet wingtip in the natural chromexcel, can't wait to order them. After that, probably a natural indy boot. Does anyone have experience w/ natural boots and raw denim? Don't want to leave blue dye on $500 boots
