Kangaroo always have a strong tone of brown.... it's really hard to dye this leather for what i've seen....
And yes they are awesome.. i love the matching of the form and the leather... kangaro is really more soft than cordovan obviously....

[BSR]

YES! they are perfect. i am looking for exact this model in black or darkgrey!
I find these shoes in paris (le eclaireur)?

Yes, I've seen them there, give them a call to know about the sizes available. But the leather quality (softer, but cheaper than earlier cordovan versions) has arisen debates earlier on this board.

the pics make them look more brown in my opinion, they are actually pretty solid grey, and very nice

please stop posting nonsense, all your posts are basically saying "I'm going to paris soon" and where to buy this or that. you'll see what they have when you're there.

Oh yes! i dont wanna tell that there arent more grey... i just wanna tell that kangaroo leather is really hard to dye... and is almost impossible to "remove" the shades of brown of the leather.... IMO

the pic is totally color accurate for the boot
sangiovese (a little non-descript)

Thought I would post these for you guys. The kangaroo leather spiral zips. The colour has been described by EM as 'gunmetal' for want of a better term.

Touchdown. I wonder if Darklands bought them.

Kangaroo is famously soft, supple, and thin. It's why most of the great leather cleats are made from kangaroo leather, and indoor soccer shoes actually. Cordovan is famously tough, thick, and stiff. It's not just that it's more soft, it's that they're basically polar opposites. At least, barring some kind of experimental tanning nightmare they should be.

I visited the studio of a local designer over the weekend and she had designed & created a bag out of kangaroo leather. The color was a solid black with no grey or brown undertones. In the tanning/dyeing process, she mentioned that it went through 2 different stages of dyeing in order to get the solid black tone.

She also showed me pieces of kangaroo leather that she had just gotten in...the skins were amazingly thin and were very soft & supple to the touch. The designer mentioned that she liked working with kangaroo as she could create a much lighter piece of garment than with other leathers like cow. We don't see as much of it being used as the hides are much higher in cost.

Beautiful boots definitely. I tried them on at L'Eclaireur and was surprised how soft they actually were. If I am going to buy CCP boots, I want them to hurt.

Hi!
Yes! I havent told that it is impossible create a solid black.. but i told that you have to make more dyeing process....
Kangaroo it's really hard to dye if you wanna have a solid color....

Question: Mike.. there are at L'Eclaireur some other CCP boots/shoes in other leather (not cordovan..)???

I'm spending good money here! Where's the pain!?! haha...you're a sick man Mike.

Yeah, my copa mundials are made from kangaroo and they are obviously (soccer) pitch black. Love them.
