Planning on keeping them pure or is distressing in order? It'd be hard to bring yourself to distress such a nice pair of boots... I'm a firm believer in "natural" distressing. I'm planning on putting those boots through plenty of adventures. They'll gain plenty of character along the way....

Congrats on the Professor's Diary purchase, fourzerotwo. I have a pair of the adventure pants & shirt. The fit is perfect on both of them. I love the custom made feature of his offerings and his attention to detail. I can't wait for these boots to come in.
