It's amazing what a pair of boots will look like after a couple weeks of wearing. You might find that they distress faster than expect, and will be looking for a way to preseve them. I'm with Holt. Wear them outside, don't coddle them.
see..that's why I like beeing here in this community..there are so many different perspectives and different opinions here about distressing.
love the boots Jan.in fact all your gear looks great.
here the other day i was looking thru some pictures of you palying around in your gear at Indiana Jones.dk
JAN, what grit of sandpaper did you use on these? They look GREAT!
Thanks!
As I recall I used a 120 grain. At bit rough, but that was what I had at hand.
But the main part is to take it slow and easy working Your way to the look You want. Distressing is hard to reverse if You have been to hard on the material.
by the way... for a party I wore my Aldens, just "repaired" with some shoeshine. I was amazed how slick they came to look (for that evening only )
