        Looks like brown bull hide to me.  I had a pair in that leather for a while.  I think the water buffalo has a smooth texture.

            A couple of nice pairs of SD's, at quite reasonable prices for the condition and custom options, on a buy it now, US 8.5

            Just a word on SD sizing, I am a true UK 10, and can quite comfortably wear a US 9.5 in Whites, they fit on the extreme large side in my experience.

                Tinman, as a quick note, I am almost 100% you will never get an answer from barun on this one (no need to rehash why).  Hopefully, some other members can give you some insight on the boots.

                                Sounds good TM, they should look pretty similar to mine apart from a different sole, and hooks and eyes.

                                On the heel issue, I prefer the standard tapered heel. I think it adds to the sleek look of the boot.

                                  in that case I will like them.  After bakers receives my tracings and measurements they will call to confirm size.  I might change my heel to the tapered heel, it is growing on me.
