Truman in Dark Coyote Roughout. Looks can be deceiving. I always thought of rough out leathers as kind of a soft and flexible suede. WRONG! These are really stiff and taking a while to break in. I accept the challenge.
Rough out just reverses the hide to expose the nappy interior where suede splits or rubs the hide to form the nap—so it’s the latter that can have different characteristics than its smooth out counterpart.

@flannel-slut
awesome boots , have them too
by far the most sturdy boots I ever had. Around 60 days of wear, but still not really broken in.
tough as nails

Gave my Lofgren Ludlows a bit of love and a fresh set of laces

@mclaincausey I went 60” I double knot them. The laces that came with were not great….Very long and I had to wrap around my ankle. This length works great!
I do find it a takes practice getting the tension just right with these boots/ lacing style. Even the old laces to the new laces take a bit of practice to get the tension right. It’s easy to over cinch on one hook set and cause a pressure point. Or under cinch and cause looseness.

Cleaned up my natty Lous and gave em a treatment with some of Brian’s Role Club stuff. First time using it, stoked with the way it worked — as promised it didn’t darken the leather, and ended up not leaving too much of a shine. More just healthy.

@popvulture very very nice!! You’ve got some epic indigo transfer on those folds!!

@Mizmazzle I know! The crock is real w these guys.

@Mizmazzle Might be my favorite boots on this forum.

@Denimhead-0 I really like how the shape of the boot has changed and contoured as it breaks in. Not so blocky as when new.

Probably it was last week for boots to wear after weather gets warmer.
