Jabble Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Hi everyone. Is "BLKP" shiny? I assume the "P" means "patent". And "BLK" is just the regular leather that is not shiny. I want to order the attached from Ebay and they are saying that "BLK" is the shiny as seen in the picture and that "BLKP" is not shiny. I have researched it and it seems that they have it backwards. Thank you
danielp6406 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 BLKP = Black Patent (Patent = Shiny) I guess there is an description error on the website. They have it backward. The boot we see on the attached picture is made of PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) PVC can be shiny or not shiny. The same with leather.

danielp6406 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 So basically: patent = PVC ? "Patent" (Shiny) does not only apply to PVC Patent could be "Patent PVC" (Shiny PVC) or "Patent Leather" (Shiny leather)
Jabble Posted September 24, 2011 Author Posted September 24, 2011 "Patent" (Shiny) does not only apply to PVC Patent could be "Patent PVC" (Shiny PVC) or "Patent Leather" (Shiny leather) Ok. I understand it a little bit more. The attached picture is "BLK" or "BLKP"? "BLK" = shiny leather? "BLKP" = shiny PVC?

Thank you Hey that's the boot in my avatar, and I do own a pair in black patent Elly 511 Allys. There are in reality either polyurethane or PVC. A tad bit more than 5 inch heel in a US11. A note about this material is that the shiny smooth surface will ripple with wear. They are also looser in the thigh on me than the picture shows. True black patent is heat polished leather. And it has a shiny surface. Shafted, the boots that is!

Jabble Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 So, in order to get the exact type of "shade" as the boots in my attached picture, and in your avatar Shafted, what should I select: "BLK" or "BLKP"? You guys have been helping, I am still just a bit confused, especially from what the sellers have told me about which one is the shiniest.

Jabble Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 They are really funny looking though; not a pair I will be getting anytime soon at all. So, the one on the right side is "BLKP"?

Jabble Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 On a side note: How do you like those Ellie boots there in your avatar?
Shafted Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 They stay at home most of the time, they're not really a pair that goes with my typical wardrobe. Shafted, the boots that is!
