First day in my JH Classics and as everytime when wearing new boots I wish they were already broken in. I have a Little heel slip unless I tie them very fast - hopefully this gets better with time. I think it was the same on my Jobmasters.
-
I now realized that I didn't order the Lace to toe JH classic as I originally intended (it got lost in the further process of building the boot on my behalf). It didn't occur to me until I actually wore them the first time today.
Now I'm not sure wether to Keep them or not. I like them, but the LTT option was what attracted me most. -

What functional advantagies do you see in LTT? Or you just like how does they look? -
Yes, its just the look that i prefer. Also my whites oxfords have a similar shape so the ltt would have been a nice change.

A few pics of the British tan Domane and chestnut brown oil tan leather samples. Both are great but the British tan is a clear winner for me. Both leathers were actually the same thickness but Chris at Wesco said the British tan is generally a tad thinner usually. You can see the pull-up of the British tan after I folded it in half. I took pics of the roughout side as well. One pic was before and after I brushed the nap up with a suede brush. The chestnut brown is stiff, does not stretch, and has no pull-up while the British tan is more flexible, can stretch a bit, and has lots of pull-up.

@spacecadet thank you very much for this info.

Plus one.
This is very useful. I think the domain leathers are always going to be more attractive than the oil-tanned leathers. But the new oil tanned looks a serious step up from the standard brown oil tanned in terms of looks. That combined with the practical qualities of the oil-tanned leather will be tough to beat.

I’m all about the roughout and I think the tan loses something in that config. It’s settled. Burlap it is.

Sure. No problem guys. Oil tan is probably my favorite leather. I already have several pairs of boots in black and brown oil tan. Just prefer the lighter color of the British tan for my next build.
