The boots are def better than the derbys but both are still really nice. The pair that Long was selling on here a ways back I thought was nice... he had them fully dyed blackwww.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

This mentality is why I aaallllmmoooosssst bought the laminated orange/green boots at L'Eclaireur 2 years ago. They looked like someone vomited all over them but as the laminate would wear away it's a whole new ballgame.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

by the way neither paper, nor orange laminate go off if being honest. i've seen both after some time of wearing and that stuff is permanent. some places not glued on properly comes out but most of it is still there after few years of wearing

5 derbys and 2 boots then? Or 5 of each? I thought the Library only received the derbys.
how come they were faulty?
Interesting to know that the laminate doesn't quite come off either. All this time I had been under the impression that it was a piece that (d)evolved with wear.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

5 paper derbys and not sure how many boots were made. and library never had paper boots.
the fault of that particular pair was that upper part of the shoe started coming of the sole. just by the seem leather started braking.
the paper and laminate were applied on the shoes/boots in the way that it would brake/come out on some places. on the orange laminated usually comes out parts which are blacked out, because the ink was applied after laminating process. paper stuff - paper naturally brakes and scratches off and if you look close at the stuff you can see some places are not glued on as tight, usually that is noticeable on seems but if you search -you'll find more in random places. that was done on purpose to help aging process and thats why i find all that stuff so cool
