      What a beautiful leather!
      Give us some more information about the hide @Giles

      Love the color a lot!
      What about some black shellac leather care first, to get some more wabi sabi?

                  Just curious,how did these come about. Did you ask Chris for purple boots or did he tell you I’m getting some purple leather,or something else?

                    Chris sent us swatches of Maryam horse leathers. I like the purple, so asked Chris if he would make me a pair of Mr Lou's out of it….

                      I was thinking it must be in relation to the anniversary party.  Purple boots and the purple uhf with acorn collab. coming out in time for the party.

                      Just a random coincidence…but still cool nonetheless.  😎

                          Random is good…how cool would it be to see a logger in this leather.

                              @popvulture  One of the greatest things about getting older is realizing 99% of people don’t care what you’re wearing and the other 1% don’t matter 😉

                                Haha yes! I totally agree. Once I passed 40 I felt the big relief of just being like "ok this is what I wear — it's what I like, and I'm committing to it," vs continuing to pay attention to trends etc. I'll totally admit that I still have vestiges of "what will people think?" that have kinda dogged me my whole life, but they're a lot less.

                                It's good to kick those concepts to the curb. Maybe while wearing some purple Lous.

                                        I’ve been working with @Giles and @Chesson to have these made in purple…smooth side out

                                        Can’t wait to see how they will turn out.  🙂
