Help and opinions required guys.

Black Bull Hide or Black Chrome Excel on cap toed Bounty Hunters?

[Megatron1505]

Ok, this is what I'm going to go with, but Chrome Excel rather than calf, and brown edging rather than natural.

[ronaldlsh]

Mega, go for it! The chromexcel leather looks really good..

And so the White's finally arrived.

6inch Smokejumper with Brown Chromexcel

Vibram #430

I love the look of the double stitch.

I must say I am impressed by the construction of the boots, the stitching qualities are top notch and I love the feel of the laces haha. Definitely worth the wait.

really nice!!!

[Megatron1505]

Absolutely beautiful Ronaldish, how do they feel on your feet straight out of the box? How long did they take to arrive?

[ronaldlsh]

Was rushing to go out, so I didn't try it on.. But the leather felt solid..

It took bakers about 6 weeks to make them. Shipping was about 1 week plus to me.

Great pics Ronald and nice boot configuration

What's the general price point for White's please?

[Megatron1505]

Generally between $390 - $800 depending on style, leather configuration, and options such as cap toes, celastic toe, lining, sole etc…

You can get an absolutely beautiful, custom made pair to your specific configuration for around $500. It's only when you start adding stupid things like Shark Leather that you stray into the reals of ridiculous pricing.

cheers Mega adds to mental list

You can see how their various leathers and options change the price @ http://www.buildaboot.com/

[smittybat]

A basic semi-dress boot starts around 390.  if you use "twitter" code you get $12.00 off.  There's more options if you customize a boot at bakershoe.com rather than buildaboot.com.  I've spent many hours creating different make-ups.

Thanks guys
