All good advice. The challenge for me now is to find a used Bronco or RW in russet HH size 42 that I like. I have to be a little patient I think. I would prefer to buy from ELC, Goodwear, or Aero.

Although I have heard good things about Planton's Dubow and Avi leather's Bronco for the money. Dubow will be too short for me to pull off unfortunately and Avi's bronco only comes in goat.

Lastly there is 5*'s Dubow which I can customize to fit and not break the bank but his "russet" looks incredibly dark in colour.
