3 Month update, and cleaning and oiling my Drew's 10" all black roughout boots.

[@StrangersIteDomum]

Beautiful job. A hipster boot guy tried passing his scuffed up rough out as having "awesome patina". Just looked like he took a rasp to his boots. You demonstrated the beauty of roughout, the restoration and the real nature of leather aging.

Tried passing? Not sure what any of the actually meant.

Just use a 1 inch chip brush. They work best for getting around the tongue and welt. They're super cheap, and easier to use than the cotton ball applicator.

Got enough wind chimes?

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

Lol, no, never.

[@Valboy380]

Chimes are annoying in our winds. I think tropical only for them. These were big ole long pipes too.

Still waiting for mine 4 months and counting, a little jealous

I spoke with Kyle, the owner yesterday. He just got back from Leon Mexico, and he said that the lead times to get caught up should be 3-4 weeks. So you should see them by then. Unfortunately, with a new system comes some setbacks. I believe they addressed those ,and can move forward with quicker lead times. Enjoy them when you receive them. They are great boots.

I have a pair of mountaineering/hiking boots made in 1976 (dated inside). I'm debating oiling/waxing the roughout leather. Does the oil attract more dirt? Does the oil make the roughout too soft, especially the toe box? Does the oily shine dissipate quickly? Does the oil transfer to your pants? Your boots look great! Thanks for this video!

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

@krazmokramer the shine will disapate rather quickly once you start wearing them, and putting your boots to work. One thing to remember is that you don't need a lot of oil to get the boots maintained. The oil will not transfer to your clothing if you let them sit for a day to soak in the oil/ wax. I don't feel that the oil attracts more dirt. Once the boot is dry, one day typically you are good to wear them as normal.

@@maxwellhouseranch1004 THANK YOU for the quick replies!

Good video, I've been looking for more Drews boots videos. I ordered the LTT in brown rough out and cant wait to get them. They'll be my first PNW ( made in USA ) boots. Ive got RedWings and 1000 miles but wanted a beefier boot that I probably wont use to its full potential. Do you have an Instagram with pictures of the two Drews boots? There arent many posts from regular people with Drews boots as a hashtag.

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

Hi, I don't have an Instagram, but I have several videos on Drew's Boots. I will be doing a 6 month update on them this weekend. Great boots. You won't be disappointed

[@Robbie88]

Go get your shine box

What up Billy Batts 😂

[@finniganshomestead2956]

Don't oil the heel stack and mid sole as it will break down the glue holding those parts together

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

@finniganshomestead2956 I completely disagree with that. I've been doing this for a long time, and I don't saturate the heel stack. Just lightly oil it.

[@finniganshomestead2956]

@@maxwellhouseranch1004 Don't shoot the messenger. It's just what the folks from JK boots are saying and that is to keep oil away from the hardware and the heel stack and midsole for the above reason. I myself put a little wax on there now and then as that does not penetrate as deep as oil does but you do you

[@tedhart7708]

Backwards videos mess with my brain.

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

I apologize, I just got the phone and forgot to change that setting. I fixed it for the next video.

No wonder can't find any xaw toob on Amazon...
