      Does rough out get a patina?

      Patina? Idk

      Does it show wear, hell yes. My SJ's that I'm using for this comp I had to stop wearing after about 10 times bc they were soaking up denim like a bounty paper towel

        Get this I had a dream last night where I flew into a hospital inside a volcano and visited Mega with a bad leg, what's that all about?!

        Scared now.

          he had the bad leg and he burst out into the hallway as I entered.  Mega I woke more worried that you, trust me.  Has anyone else dreamt of anyone else on here, I wonder?

            what are people thoughts on this? Do you like the rough out? or go all leather?

            Personally, I don't care for two tone boots.  That said, these look really nice and I think they would be more interesting to see in the contest.

                  Some people love the look of rough out, some don't, depends what look you want . If I were you I'd look at worn pairs of smooth and worn pairs of rough out

                                    Rough out is just as durable as smooth leather, some would even say more so.  Not sure about how to clean it; I've heard mixed things.

                                        Chris speaketh the truth, RO is also more self-healing than most smooth leather (scars, etc…)

                                        Some info on cleaning, (have yet to try it myself): http://www.hangerproject.com/closet/blog/how-to-clean-suede-shoes/
