S.B. Foot Briar Oil Slick
It really is a special moment : starting the patina thunderdome all while launching my small batch coffee roastery. I am super stoked to walk the first steps of business ownership in this boots, and to capture the first few months of it in its leather. Dome is on.

For my first Thunderdome I wanted to go with the classics, and one that I could buy in store in France to avoid any missizing. Red Wing meets both criterias. The choice of the Blacksmith was that of the Briar Oil Slick leather and its reddish undertones that had me captivated.

Staff at Barnabé was extremely helpful and keen to pull out as many pair as needed from storage.
