Whats stores bring in the whiskey LWB still? DC and SF? Im going to call monday to get on the list.

Just go these in! My first LWB. I picked them up for a steal, they had one wear and I got them for $300, they are basically brand new so I could not pass them up. I have been eyeing them on the JC site for some time now, glad I was able to add them to my small, but growing, collection! What is the recommendation for care on these waxed calfskins, a little saphir renovateur on occasion?

What a deal!

Anyone got pix of weathered Alpine Grain and/or thoughts about how it ages? Considering some Alpine Grain bluchers and don't know much about it.

I purchased these boots from Need Supply in alpine grain in Aug 2014: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/42925002670977078/. They've aged wonderfully. And while they've not been the first pair of boots I reach for in the closet, I've worn them a few dozen times and they've kept up a great appearance. The alpine grain texture has a way of soaking up wrinkles in the leather as they present themselves from wear.

I have that boot and it is one of the first I reach for - always looks great.
