These boots are easy to scuff and scratch. I gave them a coat of mink oil. Although it darkens the leather, at least they are consistent and I'm not sure there are too many options with these besides some sort of oil.

Cool day here in Los Angeles area. Lots of video calls, so I went for a full suit. I'm also wearing one of a few new CT shirts were I went from 16.5/35 Regular fit to 16/36 Slim fit. They fit much better. Except this new to me suit need to have the sleeves let out a touch (there's room, thankfully). The outfit is a gray suit with brown accents. I would not have envisioned it working well together, but it does seem to work. As always, critiques are welcome!
