Been a while Gents, I hope youre all doing well!! nice to be back online and fresh with new vigor! Down to business... Calling all boot specialists, I have a pair of chelsea boots that have color bled and been scratched up by the dog... now, the scratches aren't severe and I can handle those but my boots color is all messed up, I applied some boot cleaner and it may have bled some of the color.... Im letting them dry but I am worries they may not be salvaged. Is there a good place I could get recommendations on to restore my boots (ps am canadian and I dont mind shipping over-seas if need be, I cant find these exact boots anywhere and I love them)

This is the kind of outfit that doesn’t raise its voice—it simply gets listened to. The light blue gingham jacket and tan trousers say “approachable professional,” while the polished brown shoes and that gold-toned watch quietly add, “but I still close deals.” And the socks? Just enough personality to remind everyone you’ve got a sense of humor beneath all that composure.

Post St Patrick’s day festivities that began at 29 degrees on Tuesday gave way to today where we are expecting temps in the mid 80’s. After a day of recovery from the band mayhem, I am in mood for two of my other favorite avocations: sailing and fly fishing. So my WFH outfit is an ode to both. Orvis has become my Achilles' heel over the past 35 years I have been fly fishing. This 160 year old company beacons me like a sirens song. I am enamored by every fly fishing store I can slither into when traveling. I’ve had two opportunities to buy an Orvis store. But the allure of owning a retail store, was shocked back into reality from my years of working in retail for 10 years (plus my wife’s family owning a venerable institution in the OKC area: Clarke’s Pastry est 1946). Nevertheless there are several items with an Orvis label in my closet. ootd Orvis plaid shirt Orvis heavy gauge 5 pockets (once upon a time they were a deeper shade of khaki perhaps 35 yrs ago) Darn Tough merino wool socks with Salmon Sperry Topsiders in blue Orvis field watch green dial Plus toys including a 6’ one piece bamboo rod manufactured April 6, 1956 (bought at an estate sale) Tight lines AND full sails brothers.
