I would just keep the early Road Champs the color that they are, maybe darken them with some Pecards. But that lighter brown color is awesome and it's practically a collector's item. If I could pick up a pair in my size I totally would. You can always get a pair of black engineer boots. Just my two cents.

Fair point. I will see what's what. I do have some cheap ass black Chippewa that look fine.

+1 i even do not treat em atm maybe if they get too beaten up, they will evolve themselves when worn regularly. I treat the leather half sole from time to time though.

Any thoughts on polishing the OGs with black? I'd like to darken em perhaps, and the evo could be rad.
You won't wanna polish them. They are perfect, and pretty dark. Not light brown like the 2011 version , and they are first run which means the have the mister freedom logo on the outside so its pretty badass
Example of the very first run MFRC. Later runs in the first batch and 2nd batch do not have the stamp on the upper shaft, exactly.

"* Exclusive leather treatment and coloring process. Hides are not dip-dyed but “painted”. Flesh side is natural, skin side treated with 3 colours coating. The MF
Road Champ only come in one color option, a rich dark brown. We just call it BLACK to simplify.- Guaranteed to age and beautify with wear. The leather will fade with tones of reddish brown/chocolate/olive/black… according to the wear, and personal choice of oil treatment and conditioning. We like Pecard Leather Dressing."

Skivvy is great. Only issue with the ranch coat for me is the "m" acruates, but I've seen pictures of Christofe wearing it and it looks good. I really like that Western. Super high back yoke and the front yoke comes all the way down to the pockets and recalls a denim jacket more than a shirt.

I used black polish on mine, but it doesn't really stay around too long. Not sure quite how Christophe's got his SOOOO dark as I was notveven coose to the same shade. However in talking with Domingo who runs VEB he relayed to me how he dyed his second pair black and I intend to do this with my first pair as soon as I get them back in my hands from Zip. Glad to know my second pair will be the darker version though
I've got quite a few posts I've been meaning to put up on my blog and one of them is definitely on how I dyed my RC's. it's quite simple and painless.
