Nabbed these last week for $159. I had recently gotten a pair of Stafford Deacons and were really happy with them. I even applied some black polish to them to add some depth to the color and it turned out really nice. But I couldn't miss the chance to upgrade to the Dalton for such a great price so I jumped on it.
I got it in today, first off I'm surprised how similar they are to the Deacons; especially the color match. As far as the flaw goes, there are some little loose threads here and there, but I think more than anything there is some inconsistent burnishing? Streaks of black are kind of left here and there as if they applied a form of polish, but didn't properly work it in before it dried. That and there are some parts where they left it out so it's a bit spotty.
So do you think these are acceptable? They actually told me that I could get returns on this pair so there's not danger of paying the $10 restocking fee. I feel like there is some creasing on one of the pictures that led to some weird coloration, but I feel like creasing will be inevitable anyways. As far as the inconsistent burnishing, won't that eventually be evened out over time and with more polish applications? I'm kind of happy with them, but I was burned with a previous pair before so I wanted to get the forum's opinions.
