    In this video, we completely upgrade this customers pair of Peter Millar loafers. After a couple of standard resoles, this pair got a major overhaul! We took this pair down to the bare insole, added a fiddle waist, new welts, new JR sole leather and heels, new leather heel blocks, added Triumph toe plates, stained the soles and finished off the top lifts with decorative nails. Now THAT is what we call a total refurbishment!

    You know we always strive to give you our honest opinions on shoes, products, etc. on this channel, so when we accidentally give incorrect info, we definitely try to correct it. We’re very familiar with shell cordovan, and Peter Millar did an excellent job replicating the feel of shell with these shoes. We were mistaken and just wanted to correct the info given. These were NOT shell cordovan. Not that it matters in any way to what we did to these shoes or the video, but we still wanted to correct the info we gave. A shoutout to some of our viewers who mentioned this and also brought up the possibility of it being “techno horse leather”, which very much replicates shell cordovan. Interesting. 👍

      Would you have used a different type of polish than the cordovan polish or does it not really matter?

      @Stoeff1987 3 роки тому +5

      Oh wow, thank you for the update! I was already wondering about the creasing pattern which would have been very untypical for SC. I did not catch the comments correcting you and I have to say the sheen and overall look really looks like it could be shell.

      @HeavyProfessor 3 роки тому +1

      ​@@alldayseveryday3138 It does matter. There is a "cordovan cream" from Saphir which works well (very sparingly once every couple months). And for hard wax, only the hardest low in solvent--again a Saphir product, the mirror gloss polish.

    He paid $470 for a pair of shoes that now look like they're worth 1200. It's more than I could afford, but I'd say he still got great value for money.

    What I love about the videos where you've specifically refurbished high - end loafers is the way that you really show how much work goes into the rebuild : we can see Heath constructing the waist by hand, rather than using pre- fabricated parts... I think that that's the kind of attention to detail that sets you guys apart... I'm not familiar with the shoe brand, but seeing these makes me want a pair pronto!
    Both of you are masters of the craft, gents!

    What I specifically loved about this video (apart from I always loved the work you do) is that in this you see something, discuss it a bit, not disrespecting those that have worked on the shoes before. You form a hypothesis on why this might happened, and see if you can prove it in some way. So it is good to hear somebody go "this isn't proper" without yelling...
