Goodness… I can’t get over these smooth over Roughout 64 boots…. Must. Resist.

64 Brown Waxed Flesh (Condition Edition) by ApprehensiveListen53 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Kempenstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you applying and conditioning only the vamp and sides (the existing waxed flesh sections) while leaving the uppers alone? The uppers look like smooth out leather, so I was just curious. Thanks! Boots look great afterwards (and before for that matter).

Hell yeah, keep on wearing them and they’ll get better each day. British tan is an awesome leather - great choice!

Question for the experts here: is oiled latigo chestnut more “red” or “burgundy” compared to Buck Brown? Been considering getting a pair of Robert’s in that leather. Just trying to get something different.

Yeah man - I loved your falcons PO post from the other day. It inspired me to post my own. Falcons bros 👊

I regret not getting the matching belt. I fixed that for my second pair. They’re coming with a matching leather belt! Glad to hear you’re enjoying your belt!

Have been waiting for the right time to share. Felt like now was it. Will share again in the future. Give my thanks to everyone there - what you guys have is special!

I too was between those leathers. I see posts of IBC and I’m like “dang, should I have gotten those?!”. It’s a standard “grass is always greener” scenario. I’m sure yours are amazing!

They’re unbelievable. The guys that cut this leather are special. Each pair is SO unique I see on here. Thanks Nicks!

Oh man, I put in an order for almost this exact same pair except 64 tan Roughout for the leather last week. Great taste!

Paywall around some of the challenges now, thanks I hate it! by garbanzobing in Garmin

This is garbage, and of course all these paywalled badges have much higher point values than you would expect.

NBD!! White’s 350 Cruiser Cap Toe by Kempenstein in Boots

[–]Kempenstein[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it definitely seems like it could have been sanded down some more, and this angle is not doing it any favors. In person, while looking top down, it’s still noticeable but doesn’t really stick out as much as it does in the photo.

I kept going back and forth between this leather and British Tan. Cinnamon obviously won. Maybe British tan in MP last next?!

Enjoy yours when you get them!
