Wise choice, my friend.

Quick question, I got some of the chamois camp boots last year - best cleaning product anyone please?

Their Venetian cream works miracles imo (available through the OSB website, just ask George to send through First Class Int'l mail instead of UPS)…

ugggh, im tempted, but I have a feeling that this is a brand where I am between sizes, as my size 10's are borderline too big.  Am considering the 9.5, but no returns on sale items means it would be a $200 crap shoot.  I should have just stuck to my guns in the beginning and went for the Bakers oxfords….

Definitely size down a half size as the leather stretches like crazy. Trust me, I went with a US11 and wish I had done a US10.5. Get the US9.5 and you will be happy. $200 is not much for the craftsmanship and materials used. They will outlast the $200 you pay.

10.5 it is since I'm mostly a size 11. Thanks for the link!

Sounds like a plan and NP. Enjoy

Hey Lando, my camp boots got soaked on the weekend and they auto-downsized a little when drying. Just a half-serous suggestion…

Hmmmmm, thank you sir! Looks like my pair will be getting a much needed dip in the tub this evening. Thanks brotha. Then I may send them back to Chicago for a full reworking.

Gonna clean both pairs today. Put some Obenauf's on them mothers. Preparing them for autumn…

[oakstbootmakers]

^ They're in love 
haha - but they need some lovin!  Cleaning and Obenauf's should do them good.  Your navy looks particularly great.  The navy varies from hide to hide - yours has a really intense shade - love it.

Saw yesterday that Lands End Canvas is now carrying OSB

After having applied some Venetian cream…

Now gonna apply the Obenauf's… 

[Seul]

Browns first (blue tomorrow):

• remove stained laces. After having cleaned your shoes, rub some polish in your hands and rub it over your laces… They're made of leather as well!..

• hi there!..

• get your hands dirty!.. Apply Obenauf's with your fingers!..

• dry with a hairdryer (guess what: I didn't have one til I bought Obenauf's…)

Leather now feels supple and moist. Thank you Obenauf's heavy duty leather polish!..
