Horween Storm Blue Cypress
Care Routine
Break-In
It’s extremely durable. In this triple layer configuration it’s super stiff so hasn’t shown much creasing. But it’s meant to age slowly and gracefully. It’s darkened a bit and softened some. It was occasionally wiped down with Obenauf’s leather cleaner and conditioned with Otterwax Leather Salve. It’s not a thirsty leather, as it’s very waxy.
Korba Purple Calf
Color Change
It’s darkened considerably. But it’s sandwiched between the Cyroress so it’s more of an accent and has suited the pairing well.

Construction
Hardware
Lining
I’m very happy with it. Green Hollow Gear is my mark. So I’m biased. But the construction has held up well even with lots of wet weather and grit. And the Buckleguy hardware is lovely and super strong.
