I'll post the flatlays in a few days. The shirt doesn't look quite as spectacular there. I'm also surprised at what you can achieve with the photography guideline that was shared during the challenge.

@matt_rost looking awesome man.

The final flats for RRY3. My records show 222 days of wear within a year. A few weeks ago, I decided to treat the shirt with Red Wing Leather Cream, which, as expected, didn't darken it. However, the sun over the past few weeks has tanned it a bit...

@matt_rost I an nervouse to use it - https://www.reddit.com/r/RedWingShoes/comments/pmc2bf/my_experience_with_red_wing_leather_cream/. I will use Bicks some day.

@indigostiff To each their own, right? I've been using Red Wing Leather Cream on all my shoes for a long time, so I still had a large supply, so choosing this care product was ultimately a natural choice. It has noticeably restored the leather's vitality and durability, as well as a slight silky shine. And I didn't skimp on the application, but I also let it soak in for a long time.
