White's Boots
-
Buy Chris' neighbour's property and start a pig farm on it.
How did you know she's selling her place? It's a little small for a farm, though.

My (fantastic) mistake, just got a shipping confirmation from Bakers

Im 3 weeks deep into my order and its killing me. 6-8 weeks turn around due to fire season, and I choose the one year that the weathers all kinds of fucked (no rain etc…) up to order boots from a place that caters to bush firefighters....

Your spec was right, apart from they are CXL. The quality is spot on, there was one surface blemish on the leather, but it polished right out, difficult to compare to SD's as they're a totally different animal. They are the Bakers Oxford, by Whites Boots, but they arrived in a Hathorn box, so…..I dunno. :-\

No problem man, they were $304.95, plus $57 shipping.

Yeah I really don't understand why there are so many names. It seems as though the "Bakers Oxfords" $320 ( http://www.bakershoe.com/shop-by-brand.cfm/brand/bakers-boots/product/bakers-oxford/ ) have more options than the "Baker's Oxford by White's Boots" $305 ( http://www.bakershoe.com/shop-by-brand.cfm/brand/whites-boots/product/bakers-oxford-by-whites-boots/ ) but I'd assume they're made by White's?
Regular "Bakers Oxfords" have more overall options, but the "Bakers Oxfords by Whites" have more leather options. I think I'm just gonna have to give them a call.

How's the CXL Mega? Can you poke a pinkie through it?
The CXL has been the biggest surprise Hec, it's thick as wood and feels very tough. I think the complaint has been that it marks and scratches easier than dress leather, but I haven't bought these to wear with a suit, or for weddings, funerals and bar mitzvah's. They are definitely for work, play, and general life, they're kinda like adult sneakers
