        Quick Q: I presume that frilly leather thing that partially covers the apron is removable?

                Nice choice H, the classic work boots are beauties. Jestre's  chromexcel ones made me get the urge for some too.

                  Liking these… Red Dog, Northwest last, Portland sole...

                  Does anybody have pics of worn out red dog leather?

                  Holla, I almost bought a pair of SD's in Red Dog a few weeks ago but they were too small, on sale too. Really love the red dog color in any of their boots.

                    It is also called a Kiltie and is removable.  If you use build a boot, I think you can spec having one or not…

                        Go with the chromexel.  I've never been very impressed with water buffalo.  It's thin and easily scratched and scarred.  The chromexel probably doesn't polish up as nicely, so if you want the boots for dressier occasions, it might be a better choice, but for just knocking around in everyday wear, I'd pass.

                          Ah, I lived under the impression that water buffalo had to be extra thick and strong, learn something every day, thanks for the heads up!

                          I'm going to use the boots for work, complementing my brown chromexcel alden indys for when I wear black denim.

                            Even more beautiful than the smooth Red Dog imo…

                                    What is this chromexel/Horween thing please? Is it preferable.

                                    Is it super shiny? I dont want super shiny.

                                      Actually, just saw Jestre's, not too shiny at all.

                                      ETA: Its all good, I basically want what Jestre has got.

                                          Kyle at Bakers is recommending that I go 12D (same as I take in RW Iron Ranger). Please could someone back this up so I am doubly reassured? (I.e.: someone who wears both brands?)

                                          Thanks much

                                            Personally, I find Whites a shade bigger than Red Wings (comparing SD's to GT's), but not so much that it would be a worry. Go with Kyles advice  🙂
