Horween Natural Essex
When I chose Essex tan leather for my patinatunderdome entry , I thought a light colored leather will just darken with time and wear. So I saw it as big open canvas, in where you can choose how dip and rich you want to go. I found out six months of daily wear may not be enough for many of us to get where we want to go with our boots patina speaking that is. especially if we just ride the office life style of many boots enthusiasts in this hobby. However after this experience I strongly believe we are all winners here. this contest led me to meet other boots fans, enjoyed ton of boot centered conversations, saw lots of pictures of fantastic looking footwear, enjoyed and digested lot of great content in social media. I am really looking forward to participate in future contests. I hope I can find the means to do it. thank you for having me.
