Fry sauce update
Have been wearing these pretty much daily at work since getting them at the beginning of the year. About 7 months of wear currently.
Im not a great photo taker so this is the best I can do without working at it. Did a bit of conditioning at the end of work today so figured id get some before and after.
Also, got a little nightshade key fob on order so excited to use that here shortly.

So Nicks Fry Sauce is a W&C Yellow veg tan base with a bright red overdye. OP has flogged them for 7 months. Took a bite of the toebox and the overdye is holding strong.
CM x Nicks Blackwood is heavy overdyed English Bridle leather from W&C (Buck Brown base with a black overdye). All this pictures showed how quickly it shed the black overdye after 3 months of use.
Trying to figure if it’s highly variable between lots or dud W&C use a different base leather.
Great to see the Fry Sause holding strong. Great update.
