This is my fourth pair of Frye Harness 12R! I got Charcoal, Redwood, Dark Brown and now, Tan. This color is actually a variation of a Dark Brown, but Frye use a number of techniques to discolored the leather to made it look Tan. This is the most Beautiful BOOTS! I had ever seen. I'm not going to lie to you at first I thought its going to be a tan color boot that was light. But, man I was wrong! This is the best color boot out of my collection, and it would not be my last pair of it either. These look great with slim fit jeans(to tuck in) or boot fit jeans(over). You can wear these anywhere and anytime!
