Thank you for the shoutout, Ben! It's been an honor working with the quality footwear community to bring this incredible contest to life-a third year in a row!! 🙇
“Gentleman’s patina” = patina, for me. Dye transfer from denim and an oil stain from my beef stroganoff is not patina, it is a simply an unfortunate stain. LOVE the crust leather transformation. Lot of beautiful examples here, thank you. Cheers from another of the “highly intelligent” lol
First time following the thunderdome this year, cant wait to enter this october. Getting a couple pairs of boots in the next few months, trying to decide which pair I want to stash until October
How many awards went to the employees of the affiliates? This was kind of reasonable when it was open to anyone, but now it’s like a golf tournament within a country club. No thanks.
That number 10 boot should not have made the top 10 because it's a dress boot and that leather is thiner so wasn't to long to break in and patina where a real service and work boot has to work harder , so no dress boots allow.
Really? I've seen a ton of "work boots" with 3 oz or less for leather thickness. Caterpillar and Carhartt are both work brands with boots in that relm of upper thickness.
There are a bunch with other prizes outside the top 10, you can see the full list through here! www.stitchdown.com/patina-thunderdome/2023-24-stitchdown-patina-thunderdome-winners/

My boots had no comparison to any of these. Wow.
That number 10 boot should not have made the top 10 because it's a dress boot and that leather is thiner so wasn't to long to break in and patina where a real service and work boot has to work harder , so no dress boots allow.
That’s why there’s two categories
