Oh Blue Chair, wherefore art thou?

I'm trying to sell a pair of these chairs. They are blue. Blue leather. I didn't pick them out. I guess my mom did back in the day, and now that my dad is retired, we don't need them. We had a pair of brown leather chairs that sold in an instant. But not these. I think I get it. When it comes to leather, blue is a very particular choice. And, apparently, since 1985, not the choice of many. I've even reduced the price a couple of times. Still no takers. I don't even know if I can blame the economy. Surely someone in the greater metropolitan Atlanta area would like 2 chairs like this along with another blue leather desk chair on wheels. Surely. Anyone?

Broken-In Leather

Some things are JUST RIGHT. It doesn't get any better than really well-designed leather boots that are well broken-in. These are Red Wing Boots. I love them. I wish I were a guy so that I could have a pair of my own. I really like well-worn brown leather goods - boots, belts, jackets, couches, handbags, suitcases...

J. Crew got it right with reviving these.
