“https://www.trumanboot.com/collections/in-stock-boots/products/java-waxed-flesh Maybe look at waxed flesh which will patina in a similar manner with the wax wearing off to reveal the lighter colour and raised nap. I'm a big fan of roughout boots for work because gouges that inevitably happen can be hidden much easier.”
