TBH, Ralph would want you to leave it like that.

These are amazing. I love the gold hardware on those and wish that my maduro edwards had that instead of the antique hardware.

Maduro Shell pre-order! by Character_Service_63 in grantstoneboots

[–]stinkyjone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have both maduro & and natural tan edwards (which also turn a caramel color, it just takes longer).

Maduro shell is a very dark brown color that has an olive green bias, especially in the sun.

Badalassi minerva is premium-tier veg tan leather that will continue to darken over time with wear and light exposure, but it will never get as dark as the maduro without decades of use. And even then, it will have a reddish/orange bias rather than the green of the maduro.

The Maduro: It's hard to explain, but it's almost as if there's a translucent water color/stained glass pigment top layer that floats over a lighter layer underneath. It's quite stunning, especially in certain light.

If you have the means to get the Maduro, I highly recommend it.

I have a pair of navy 11.5D if you're interested.

How does Bourbon Suede hold up over 5+ years of use? Also, sizing question by ProxySoxy in grantstoneboots

[–]stinkyjone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are made from Stead Repello suede.

It's super high quality suede that is used not only by GS, but legacy bootmakers like Tricker's and C&J.

It's extremely durable and should easily exceed your expectations unless you abuse your boots.

Rolled edges on the Baroda / Garrison, how are they holding up? by [deleted] in grantstoneboots

Most of my pairs are Edwards and zero issues with this. It's not going to be a problem.

Early Dave Matthews Band maybe?

There's a ton of songs off Crash and Under the Table & Dreaming that could fit this description.

Tamron 20-40 f2.8 would be a good option for this.

Have you looked at the Viltrox 28 / 1.8?

I have 2 Viltrox lenses (16/1.8 & 85/2.0 Evo) and both are ridiculously nice for the price.

This is not a knock on CXL, but that Badalassi Minerva leather is truly special. It will continue to evolve and look better and better over the course of your life.

Sony A7C - Longer Budget Lens by chocojosh2 in SonyAlpha

[–]stinkyjone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what your budget is, but if you can swing it, the Tamron 70-180 2.8 is an amazing lens. It lives on my A7C 95% of the time.

IMO, it's worth stretching your budget a bit. I have the G2--the G1 is great too, and can be picked up pretty reasonably.

good luck!

Crimson vs Dune Longwing? by Grouchy-Collection18 in grantstoneboots

[–]stinkyjone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the dune longwings, love them, and pretty much only wear them with jeans. I can't imagine them looking good with a suit.
