      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.

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

            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.

                Can any of you leather experts recommend me a high shine leather to use in contrast to a mainly bull hide Bounty Hunter?

                  ssup buddy

                  check my blog out i have a par of smoke jumpers in water bufallo with dress leather captoe.

                  dress ( dry tanned leather)  is WAY better than cxl .

                        Ok, I've done a lot of yapping over the last few pages, and not a lot of showing. These arrived to me today (again, new to me), I picked them up from nicecrackaction just before Christmas. This is my first experience of Smoke Jumpers, and I'm so impressed that it had bought me some thinking time on my custom order ….. or at least satisfied my blood lust for now.

                        Pics taken both with and without flash to give a balance of the true colour.

                            Cheers Rafa, the weird thing is that I have always thought that Smoke Jumpers look shit compared to SD's and Bounty Hunters for some reason, and now I know why. Smoke Jumpers are not a boot that pictures well, but in the flesh they are every bit as pretty as SD's, and I hope to find out soon about Bounty Hunters.

                              but tbh with ya...i don´t know why, but to me they always look like pig´s trotter when seen on a picture.
                              never saw this type in person so i can´t really judge about´em, but yeah...

                                I think I can say that they're probably a boot you have to see in the flesh to appreciate.

                                  that´s what i think as well…i hope you can prove me wrong though 😉

                                    Nowt wrong with cute pig trotters…  😠

                                    Ok no seriously: not a boot I'd wear, but they look hard as fuck, extremely well made from what I can tell, and am intruiged to see them age!..

                                      Great pick-up, Mega! If one looks around rakuten one can find a lot of Japanese dudes pulling this style off. I'm sure you'll do the same.  😉

                                      I'm not a fan of the typical White's sole either, but I did some digging this week and played around on buildaboot.com and think I might actually like the Northwest with the much hated Vibram wedge sole…

                                          @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.

                                          Can you tell me your specs, please!Would be nice.

                                          I like them!!!!!!!!!
