Where did you get those laces on your Thorogoods?

I have the same shoes, and the grain will even out over time (one of my boots also looked smoother to begin, and some slight color difference too but not like in those pics). Keep in mind that leather is impossible to match perfectly, and the "flaws" often turn out to provide more character in the long run.

I wouldn't worry about it unless they look so completely different that you can't live with it (you're the one who has to look at them every day).

Cool thanks. there is a new version of that boot about to come out so I was just worried that I had somehow gotten one from the new run. This is reassuring

I just got the Thorogood 685s but it looks like they might have given me two different leathers? They look the same hue, but the grain looks different

EDIT: Epaulet has been working hard to deal with this. Don't think I would get such fast responses over a weekend with many manufacturers.

any advice?

edit: this was with flash so the difference stands out a bit more, but the front one should have caught more light actually

Thanks, there is a a ton of snow up here so I might go ahead and do it soon. Already put some along the edge of the welt as that looked untreated, and I didn't want water seeping in there.

Just got the Throgood 685s. Should I put on obenaufs or are they probably well treated enough for now?

I'm getting a pair of Thorogood 685s and think I might want to swap out the laces. Anyone have some recommendations?

Just got a G1 in from the Martin Lane co. Really nice.

I'm gonna be saving money this summer.
