@@DalesLeatherworks hey Dale. Would it be possible to get a new video or comment on how the boots patina'd after the birchees treatment? Did they age normally like they did when new, or was there a difference in how the roughout scuffed and formed a nap? Thanks!
The Birchees and you did a fantastic job on these boots! When finished, were the boots tacky? Or does the wax help the conditioner dry a bit? I like Skidmore’s and Obenauf’s LP, but after conditioning the sticky surface attracts dust like a magnet. Either way, you made great looking rough out boots look amazing and new. I found this cuz I’m considering ordering a pair of Nick’s or White’s in the waxed flesh. Glad to see the can retain the original look with some love.
Quick question on the Truman boot; do you know if the cap toe is fully vamped underneath like a traditional cap toe? Or, is it a two piece fashion cap toe?
Great video of the process! I will say, though, the music was brutal! I personally would’ve liked some commentary. I just got the diesel boots in coffee suede at a heavy discount and am on the fence on weather to “dub” them.
thanks my friend! i did a full video review discussing the process of conditioning these but wanted to make a quick visual video showing the process. i personally love the soft nap of the coffee suede diesels, i wouldn't use birchees on suede unless you specifically plan to weatherproof them against the elements. just know that if you do apply birchees to suede it will dramatically affect its appearance!

Visually, they definitely look great before and after. I keep hoping you get into White’s and Nick’s boots. Have you considered those? A few of their boots you would dig. Others a bit on the work end.
Don’t know how I feel about this restoration, aero. I really love the patina that you had going before the resto. The different shades to the leather was quite beautiful. But hey, they’re your boots... you do you and I’ll keep watching.
Those look awesome! In the Stridewise review he said Truman said the wax couldn’t be reapplied, glad to see it’s possible. Out of curiosity how does the sizing of these boots compare to other GYW boots? Thanks!
Awesome! Ordered my first pair of truman upland moc toe java wax!!!! Can’t wait to get!!!!
I have to say, those Birchees are amazing for treating the Java Waxed flesh boots!! Like new again.
I am so glad you agree my friend!!! I really think it worked wonders on these bad boys

Awesome visual, thanks for sharing!
Just purchased your products yesterday for wax horween boots . This looked really impressive.
Looks great, conditioning the uppers is a must.
thanks so much!!!

I’m fairly certain they’re fully vamped underneath as Truman’s design is more utilitarian than fashionable but I’d ask them!

New to your channel. Your collection blows my mind! Love the music as well.
From your experience what is the top thing that takes the wax out? Oh and the resto is awesome. Pretty wild how they change so much.
Visually, they definitely look great before and after. I keep hoping you get into White’s and Nick’s boots. Have you considered those? A few of their boots you would dig. Others a bit on the work end.
Any other comparable products ? Birchees is sold out
If you use this product on natural wax flesh will it change the color
Oh yes it will!
oh those looked nice pre-restoration! :) just my opinion :)
Man you need some like classic big band music for your intros lol..
Not a terrible idea hahahah
Don’t know how I feel about this restoration, aero. I really love the patina that you had going before the resto. The different shades to the leather was quite beautiful. But hey, they’re your boots... you do you and I’ll keep watching.
Agreed the patina was amazing but the boots were dried out and needed some nourishment. I think the Birchees was the perfect answer for it!!
@@DalesLeatherworks Did they eventually look the same as they were before?
Agreed. The aged patina is what look forward to on my waxed flesh
Is birchees closed down?
I think so 😭
Bummer
where did you get the coditioning product? are there alternatives ?
Right here: birchees.ca and it’s a one of a kind product!!! Nothing like it to my knowledge!!
Those look awesome! In the Stridewise review he said Truman said the wax couldn’t be reapplied, glad to see it’s possible. Out of curiosity how does the sizing of these boots compare to other GYW boots? Thanks!
thanks man! for the 79 last i go 1/2 down from brannock, same size as most of all my other GYW boots
RERUNS on TH-cam?
How did you clean the leather?
Saddle soap in the sink!!!
