Finally! Took longer than anticipated, but looks like it was worth the wait. My friends at Horween and I got together to come up with a custom color of Shell Cordovan for John Gilbert and his crew in Seattle. We called it Walnut, and it turned out great. On the train from Richmond tomorrow….should be there next week.
Also, we have made 2 runs of RBHB1 (Hobo Boot) in the Tuscan ‘Reverso’ Calf which have just left Italy, and we should have out to Seattle in a week or two.

Just purchased the walnut wingtip boot from J Gilbert. For my work and for the Pacific NW this boot makes a-lot of sense, not to mention is just plain cool.
Can you give me any tips on care for the walnut cordo?
