So.., i got an email asking if I could do a write up.., and thought.., why not.., they earned it. I bought the regular Bugs Moran in Natural Shell Cordovan and a Navy Blue CXL belt, sized 32.. The belt, I was VERY impressed with.. nice and thick, extremely supple, surprising amount of grain character for CXL.. blue thread.. the Navy really pops in the light but it's subtle in darker lighting.. the smell, like all Chromexcel, is amazing.. which brings me to the Natty Shell wallet.. another great smelling product.. I've literally starred and smelt my wallet numerous times since receiving it.. luckily no one has seen this hah.. Recently got brown Horween Shell Julian boots as well with that same smell. The wallet, has a slightly nicer shine inside.. I do love the color. The thing screams quality. My Horween stamp has some fade but perfectly centered.. only con is that it does scuff n scratch very easily.. and is very suseptible to any wetness darkening it. So don't get Natural and expect it to stay prestine. It won't happen.. mine looks minty in the photos but in person, the scuffs are more apparent.. I hope to get some more Ashland products down the road.. more Shell.. Splatter.. reverse.. blue.. reverse black (green) , I love it all.. Dublin, etc.. one day, the Private Stock gods will be with me lol,, but in all seriousness, I'm very happy with the items I received.. Thanks Phil and thank you to your team .. and I look forward to more Full Grain podcasts! - Tony
