What Shellac does to Leather
You want to see what shellac does to leather? I’m taking the tops off of these ruined ACME . The shaft is in great condition because they weren’t covered in leather shellac . The vamp was covered thick with it and were completely destroyed.
Id never buy a pair that covered in that unnatural shine. The seller pics were very poor on these. And loved the tops. I want to reuse them. Thanks Erick for giving me the courage to tear these apart. One down one to go!

Maker unknown but made in the USA
If anyone has a clue let me know. I’ve had these at least 10 years. I’ve just called them the Mystery Boots

Lucchese ❤️
I love Lucchese leather!
got the red in today and put them back in boot shape. The quality leather made the job easier.
I am still looking for the Ocean Blue color in these boots size 6 to 7 1/2.

I’ve had these Anthracite color LUCCHESE for several years. They came in Ocean Blue and Tan also. I’ve been hunting the Ocean Blue. Was looking on line and to my shock there was a red pair😳 my size!

Gave my made for me Francisco Mendoza boots some love today 🥰
The sterling silver toe guards are beautiful and I’m glad I had Francisco put them on but they are a pain to keep clean.

These Parking lots @ Peoples / Shoreline have been full for two hours! Yet people are still driving around in them looking for a spot 🤷♀️

I forgot to post my old ACME BOOTS.
I’ve started working on them. Sadly they were covered in layers of shellac which made the leather crack. I’ve got it off of them and conditioning them. I ordered some Tarrago black filler.🤞I hope it works.
Such lovely boots. I really want to save them. If it doesn’t work well I may have a pair made using these shafts. They are a very unique style..

Justin Quill Ostrich
Justin Quill Ostrich. I think I got these in the 80? I wore these yesterday, so comfy.
Gave them some love today. I haven’t found a really great place to take pics of boots yet. We do have a roof terrace but I haven’t checked it out yet. I’m also changing out some furniture. That windows face east. So maybe morning sun pics will work to get details on the boots. Sorry these pics are so bad
