      LOL at calling CXL shit.  I can understand how it would not be the best leather for a work boot in a work boot required environment.  How it cant handle a Harley ride is beyond me.  Care to elaborate as to why its not a good casual boot leather?

          CXL is my favourite leather of all time, the scratches and scuffs just add character to it.

          At the moment I am struggling to decide if I want black CXL SDs or a nice brown cap toe.

            @Megatron1505:

            Viberg Oxfords sold on Superdenim UK are made from CXL, are you saying that Brett claims to make his shoes out of crap leather? Not the best advertising  😞

            http://www.superdenim.co.uk/prodpage.asp?productid=1937

            HI MEGA YOUR WISE THAN WHAT YOU SAID. IMS URE YOU KNOW PEOPLE DEMAND MANUFACTURERS JUST GIVE. THEYRE CRAP PERIOD . ITS NOT ABOUT VIBERG, WHITES, O ANY OTHER BOOT COMPANY . LEATHER IS FROM HORWEEN  TELL EM THAT.

            I DID A REVIEW PLEASE READ IT  AND NOW YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

                The dress leather on my SD's is still in really good condition after a couple of years wear, so the CXL on the oxfords will make a good comparison for me personally. I just hear so much more good things said about CXL than bad, so people must like it for some reason, I must admit though that if I were going for my dream make up Bounty Hunters that I keep threatening to order, it would be Bullhide and Dress Leather all the way.

                Could you link me to your review please Ed?

                    Lots of Aldens floating around in CXL that have been around for extended periods of time.

                      Would like to order the Baker's Oxford (model # 64OX).

                      http://www.bakershoe.com/search.cfm/product/bakers-oxford/

                      They have two different oxfords on their site. The oxford linked above has more options in general, but less options for leather. It is limited to combinations of smooth or rough out for chocolate, black, walnut, or red dog. I know what the others look like, but does anybody have any experience with, or pics of, walnut?

                        I have a pair of clx aldens that I have used daily (or close to daily) for almost a year now. Like them good so far.

                        Seize the day and don't you cry.

                          It looks like Free&Easy here in Japan combined the options of the two oxfords available on the Baker site for their special order for their Rugged Museum shop in Tokyo.

                          Wild designs below:
                          http://shop.rugged.jp/?mode=cate&cbid=956073&csid=0&sort=n

                          Some of these have the leather options of the 504 NWC (e.g. chromexcel) and the option to choose different leathers for the upper shaft, vamp and counter as in the OX64. The note at the bottom of the description for the OX64 says that they only have 3 leathers "right now", so I wonder if more leather options are in the works for the OX64.

                          I think I need to email Kyle.

                                  probably Edmond is the best bet here . . . he's posted up about 87, 000 boots so far - chances are that there'll be one or two that are white's  😃

                                  thanks geo we miss you 😞

                                        I think this would be a proper time to say the Edmond, Demonito, etc etc is a character. He has a vast knowledge of denim, boots, and materials used. That being said, he does not have the smoothest delivery.
