      Thanks for the feed back!

      @specmvl:

      Thank you for sharing, bornheim. That surely would be a useful post for the shoe/boot care thread as well: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2737.0

      I wasn't aware of that thread but when I get some time I'll re-write my post and add it to the shoe care thread.

      @specmvl:

      Do you recommend any specific saddle soap?

      I actually grew up on a ranch, so have I spent much of my life around boots and saddlery. We always used "Joseph Lyddy" saddle soap, but to be honest I'm sure any good saddler will stock a good saddle soap. The brand names tend to be regional so depending on where you live you might have to look beyond the common brand names. But don't worry… there are plenty of good products out there. I currently live in Germany and have been using "Bense & Eicke (B&E) Sattelseife". If I get time, I'll try and research the +/- of different saddle soaps.

      @specmvl:

      What is the specific name of Saphir´s wax?

      Again, some products are harder to find in some regions, but I think Avel / Saphir is available in most places. I am currently using the "Saphir Medaille D'Or Cream" (renovator/conditioner) and the "Saphir Medaille D'Or Wax / Pate de Luxe". I also use the "Collonil 1909 Wax Polish". The renovator cream is exceptionally good and can be thinned with a bit of water when using it, as a little goes a long way. Both the waxes are great and I can recommend both. I use neutral color wax in most cases. I also have a few good color creams around for when boots need a touch up. Again, Saphir and Collonil.

        No need, I did a quick copy & paste.  Feel free to add to the thread, though. 😉

          Is horsehair good for rough out as well or is there a dif brush i should get for it?

          Like Seul said, you can use a suede brush, which has stiffer, stronger bristles.  That will help dig dirt and dust out of the leather, but it's not really necessary.  Honestly, I've used toothbrushes for spot cleaning and even an old plastic floor scrub brush in the past.  Rough out is pretty durable stuff.

                      Buddy thx, seeing the one off sample for VMC couple of weeks ago made me even more confident going with the production run. Love that leather and the whole look of this two tone puppy. The comfort of this arch system is really good imo, my feet are a bit sensible but putting these guys on give me no trouble.

                      Cheers,
                      David

                                  On another note - anyone have soft toe Smoke Jumpers (on the standard SJ last)?  Opinions?  Pics?  I'm about to pull trigger on a new pair of SJs and going back and forth on celastic vs. soft toe.  This is the only picture I have ever come across… I have the soft toe on my Bounty Hunters (SD last) and like it.
