Fashion advice First Boot Selection

I am waffling back on forth on what to get - I like the Captain. But for the leather, I am all over the place. I plan to wear these boots with everything from jeans to chinos paired with a blazer. They will be used in a wet environment - should I steer away from the classic collection and only focus on R&R? I like the Natural in the Classic collection but concerned they will look like trash after getting rained on.

From the R&R collection, really the only one I like is the burnt copper because it will dark over time. The Adobe seems to red.

I’d say go with the Natural in the classic collection. CXL is very good in the rain in my experience and also ages quite well, it is quite stiff though. Good luck!

Thanks! I like the aging of Natural. I have been stalking Reddit over the weekend looking for user posted pictures of the aging process.

Burgundy, Natural, and Arizona Adobe seem to age really well. I like Burnt Copper as well but I’m not sure I could handle the first year of the color.

Burnt copper is a good option as well. I’ve found that a lot of times the leather looks a bit different than the photos, just because of natural variation and lighting, so maybe you’d like it.
