Patina Thunderdome has a new worn boots competition category. Kind of thinking of entering my Badalassi Grigios. My concern is if I wear em super hard they will just end up looking like my nattys color wise. Kind of feel they might be headed that way already….

Nattys with 3 years hard wear

Vs

Badalassi Grigios with 9 months light wear

Pretty sweet seeing some comparison pics of these man. Side note, my juvenile (and slightly dyslexic) brain always initially reads Badalassi Grigios as; Badass Gringo

gonna wear mine more to look like that!

My chapmans arrived the other day but im stuck in Croatia for work for another 4 days, suspense is killing me!

@flannel-slut that’s pretty hilarious because my brain has done the same exact thing!!

All you leather nerds out there…what are your thoughts on what direction this Badass Gringo is headed? Think it will end up looking the same as the natty cxl? Trying to decide if I’d rather wear them less hard and preserve their color a bit, for the sake of variety in my collection.

@Mizmazzle there are some examples on patina project of badalassi grigio leather! Looks like they are a (for me) completely different color when aged.

@Mizmazzle man I think I’d go with the gringos and see how they turn out since they have a lot less wear.

[ZackB]

@Ikeaparty which color did you get?

[Mizmazzle]

@ZackB yeah. I’d 100% be going with the Grigios. But I don’t want to end up with two pairs of boots that look almost identical is all.

@FlavourFade thanks bro. I did look on there and the only boots in this leather I saw didn’t seem to have much wear on em. I’ll check back and see if I missed any.

@ZackB black!

I decided to enter my Grigio Engineers in the Thunderdome. I don’t plan to go at them as hard as I can, just keep wearing them like I have…in rotation…maybe as my primaries though. Never entered a contest. Could be fun…
