Leather
Older than the outfit. The scuff is the biography. The boot tells on the year it's had.
Care notes
Three things worth knowing.
- 01Vegetable-tanned darkens with light; chrome-tan stays fixed
- 02Condition twice a year, polish before events
- 03A good pair of loafers outlasts three cheap pairs
