Thrilled to have a chance to work on this brilliantly crafted pair by TLB Mallorca. They have been one of my favorite new brands. Exceptional quality and a true bargain at the price point. If you have not checked them out you owe it to yourself to do so!
This is the 135 model on Velazquez last from the Artista line, custom ordered in unfinished crust leather.
The museum calf version of the shoe can be seen here:

I gave these a custom spectator style patina for a client based off of an image of a Saint Crispin shoe he sent me. Quite an intimidating undertaking...trying to duplicate a St. Crispin shoe, but I am happy with the outcome.
I used a number of different dyes by Fiebing for the color, my new cream polishes from Boot Black (awesome and another brand you should check out), neutral cream by Angelus, Bick 4 conditioning lotion and mirrorgloss wax by Saphir. All excellent products!
Let me know what you think of this project and as always feel free to ask any questions!
See you on the next one,
