Grats beta and cbs bro for the unique piece of patina. Make me wanna send mine in right away... I think I am sending mine to Ed for his services soon...

Let's see what ed can do too.

Maybe he's doing it himself!

It looks like some kind of cream? It's called "luxury lotion"...

This sounds so wrong!!

Speaking of patinas, have you seen what Diamond Walker just showed on their FB page?

They send their shoes to Landry Lacour for patination.

Well... if it's good for women's complexions, it's good enough for leather!

Impressive! Never seen shoes like this before in Singapore, even Berluti patina is not like this... I wonder who's the lucky owners. Must be pretty confident dudes to carry such outstanding colours.

I wonder if they can do more of a bluish-green hue for me. I'm thinking of zipper boots for my upcoming Europe trip.

My own "A Dream of Spring", which he named for the first time...

These are the kind of boots that I like! Perfect for clomping all over the streets of Milan and Paris! <3

How much are these and where did you get them from? How much did you pay for the patina service?

Yep. Not a secret, I've seen it on their FB iirc.

 

[Beta_Tester]

yup,it was on their facebook.

Dandy Vs Landry Lacour.. looks like a good match up.

Just occurred to me that I could send in my pair of SAF boots for patina. I am old enough to be owning a full leather pair of SAF combat boots.

My so-called "parade" boots have been left unused since I ORD. Will pull it out and see if it's still functional.. Bet I will be charged a hefty fee for restoration even before getting started on patina.

Haha. If they state they will work on third party brands n my boots are in a serviceable state, i dont see why not. M a paying customer and not asking for e-mart prices ma haha.

M putting boots that will otherwise be left to waste to good use and i think thats a good thing. Safe to say people who still have these boots probably already completed or soon to complete their NS obligations.

 

[i_got_a_question_to_ask]

Why not buy multi color dyes 50 bucks, with spare change to buy brushes? Then diy and screw the combat boots rather than waste 3 digits

Come to think of it... I do have a pair of boots still in gd condition. Just wondering, since its black, how easy is it to put any kind of colour/patina onto a black pair of shoes?

Personally quite lousy with art n craft n such. So I rather spend 3 digit for the assurance it can look good (assuming its assessed to be doable by the pro) than $50 almost certainly down the drain n looking like failed school art project if i do it myself.

Of cos for those who have artistic hands, its a great idea. No loss. But not for me ba..
