I'm patiently waiting on a pair of aubergine horse rump I ordered in early November - from what I'm reading I won't have to worry about getting them till March.

That aside, how should I care for that leather? They have lots of pics of beat, distressed Aubergines on their instagram that look great, and I don't plan on doing anything except an occasional brushing and venetian shoe cream. Should I be using venetian or a leather grease like yall do for the waxed flesh models?

Looks like they recommend Venetian cream on their site. This is from their description:
"Although it will help to maintain all leathers, it works particularly well on several that we carry -- Chromexcel, Cranberry Horse Rump, Marrone Horse Rump, and Caffè Macchiato Calfskin."

I would assume the Aubergine has the same finish as the Cranberry.

Do you all get tracking when your orders ship? I have had a couple packages stolen from outside my condo's front door recently, and need to be extra vigilant when something like this is coming in.

Here are some more pictures of the Ameretto horse hide boots. Finally decided to hold on to these as these are really nice boots and the fit on me is perfect.. Will start putting some miles on these in the next few months.

The jeans in the pictures are the secret denim from Ciano Farmer.

I asked the same question a few months ago and I was told that a lot of people didn't receive any kind of notification. I didn't remember getting any kind of email from Truman when I placed my order but I searched my email again and found one.

After I had a pair of dress shoes delivered to the house next door, I am also a bit cautious about stuff like this.

I'm going to Breckinridge on a ski trip in two weeks. I was thinking about calling and asking if it would save any time if I just took a slight detour and drove from Denver to Boulder to pick them up but I know the group we will be with will be in a rush to get to the mountain and won't be excited about going all the way to Boulder, so I can get some boots.

Heres a couple quick pics of my Java WF. Waxed them 4 or 5 times over the last year.









Appreciate the pics. Those look great.

Just saw on Truman's Instagram acct that they'll be shipping about 100 pairs this week. Hopefully some of you will be in new boots in a few days.

If my navy shells aren't in this batch I'm going to lose my mind. I'm close to asking for a refund, it's been too long at this point.

These are structured right?

Thanks for the info everyone, I got tracking this morning. Truman also changed the shipping for me to require signature confirmation.
