    “Gentleman’s patina” = patina, for me. Dye transfer from denim and an oil stain from my beef stroganoff is not patina, it is a simply an unfortunate stain. LOVE the crust leather transformation. Lot of beautiful examples here, thank you. Cheers from another of the “highly intelligent” lol

    How many awards went to the employees of the affiliates? This was kind of reasonable when it was open to anyone, but now it’s like a golf tournament within a country club. No thanks.

    That number 10 boot should not have made the top 10 because it's a dress boot and that leather is thiner so wasn't to long to break in and patina where a real service and work boot has to work harder , so no dress boots allow.
