    Question about colors and polishing leather boots(Black Cherry)?

    I need some advice concerning polishing Black Cherry cowboy boots from Lucchese. I got a pair(the Gavin) in Black Cherry, and noticed a scuff, so I went to polish them, using a little bit of Black polish from Saphir. I wasn't sure if doing this made my boots darker or not, but I worried it could...

    How to fix a gouge in my Black Cherry leather cowboy boots?

    Thanks for the advice, I do think accepting some of the scuffs and such is a must with boots like this. I was curious, for polish, would Saphir's polish/cream in Burgundy be the best color match for Black Cherry, or is there something better to use? I'd want to try and match the color as close...

    How does the fit on these leather suspenders look?

    I recently got two pairs of leather suspenders from a small company that makes leather goods, and was wondering about how they fit. I was trying to compare both to the images shown on their site as well as other photos of men in suspenders, but wasn't sure mine fit quite right or not. I mainly...

    How to fix a gouge in my Black Cherry leather cowboy boots?

    I recently just noticed a gouge in my Gavin Black Cherry boots I purchased from Lucchese. I'm not sure how it happened because I don't remember bumping into anything, but unfortunately I see this gouge now. Does anyone know how to fix something like this, or if it can even be fixed? I tried...

    Any opinions on the color scheme for these two wallets?

    I have some better quality pics and wanted to clarify about my concerns and the wallet closing thing. One thing that made me concerned was in some parts I can feel the stitching, like the tips of the threads(probably where they put it together). I figured maybe it was because it's...

    Any opinions on the color scheme for these two wallets?

    Thanks for the input! I ended up picking the one that I liked the most. I have a question though, how does the quality look in terms of craftsmanship? I can return it thankfully if it turns out to be low quality, but I wanted to ask because I paid $200 for it, so I want to make sure it's...

    Caring for Suede boots?

    Any tips/advice on how to best take care of Suede boots? I've heard about using a special suede brush, and seen some people mention using waterproofing sprays. Is this about right, or is there anything else I should know? Can they handle rain or do you have to avoid getting them wet? I used to...

    Cowboy Boots

    Thanks for the advice. I ended up getting the Gavin, since I really liked the look of them a lot. I do have a question though. I bought the Gavin in a size 10 because I'd previously owned a Lucchese boot(The Bart) in a size 9.5 and ultimately had to get the toebox stretched, although I never...

    Cowboy Boots

    You wear Caiman to work regularly? Do you get worried about scuffing them or cracking or anything? I ask because a lot of the stuff I see on this material tends to be negative, with people saying Caiman is real prone to cracking. Edit: Anyone can give their input on Lucchese Black Cherry and...

    Cowboy Boots

    I was really looking into getting a nice pair of Lucchese Caiman boots, namely these: Charles I wanted this boot for a while and were going to treat myself to something nice and get it. But I wondered what people thought of it and especially if Caiman is hard to keep in nice condition. Is it...

    How difficult is it to polish Lucchese Black Cherry colored boots?

    Thanks. Do you layer first the black, then the red, then the burgundy when polishing the boots? Moneysworth I assume is a cream rather than a polish(tried searching it on google and results showed a cream)? I heard of Lincoln wax but not Moneysworth before.

    How difficult is it to polish Lucchese Black Cherry colored boots?

    Do you find the color just fading to the point it doesn't really look as good anymore? I've seen some say the boots eventually just lose that unique color altogether, particularly the black.

    How difficult is it to polish Lucchese Black Cherry colored boots?

    I always loved that Black Cherry color that Lucchese has for some of their cowboy boots, but I've had one worry concerning buying a pair in that color. I've heard that specific color can be really difficult as far as maintaining with polish, and my fear would be that eventually the color would...

    Do these leather gloves look like a poor fit?

    Overlap? Do you mean like extra space in the tips or something else?

    Do these leather gloves look like a poor fit?

    I just purchased a pair of Dents leather driving gloves, and after trying them on noticed an issue with how they fit. I notice extra space in the fingertips/thumb area. I saw videos for leather gloves claiming that there shouldn't be extra space at the tips, and that this means the gloves fit...

    Sizing for Dents leather gloves?

    I looked around some more, so far guides I see on fitting leather gloves say if you are an inbetween size, you size down for a tighter fit; ie. if you are a size 7.7, you'd round down to a size 7.5 for a tighter fitting glove. What I want to know is, what do you do if you are exactly one of the...

    Sizing for Dents leather gloves?

    What I mean is I wouldn't want there to be space in the tips of the fingers and such. In the video I saw the guy said that he measured as a size 7.5, and bought a pair in the same size. The glove fit ok, but there was some extra room in the palm and especially the fingertips, which is why he...
