Haha thank you! I'm glad I made 1 good choice on this boots then!! Haha

I've been having cracks on my leather midsoles.. are those normal? I applied a coat of obernauf but to no avail they are still turning lighter and cracking….... Should I put on more? Or leave it?

Pics of said cracking?  Probably not a big deal, but that's just a guess…

the beautiful contrast between the bull hide and brown dress

scuffing showing some beautiful lighter shades

very very nice pair of SJ's!

for me obenaufs are not so good i suggest you use pecards. use a heat gun or a blow dryer and heat up the part of the boots you need to moisturize and then  put pecards  and then heat it up a bit youll see the difference

whites actually use pecards!

What do you use from Pecards? Boot Oil or the Leather Dressing?

[demonito]

leather dressing.  the standard one  in the tub. used it for the past 7 years pretty happy. from calf to cow to goat to horse

i find this odd considering Whites products is actually rebranded Obenauf's

[demonito]

second one down says Obenaufs right under the product name.  They also sell branded Pecards

[demonito]

oh ok as far as i know  ( bill formerly of stronghold and  steve marrow whites agent)  said that they use pecards well that was way back  2006.

[demonito]

this is how much i love pecard so much

[supersalami]

Wow that's a big tub of leather dressing!! Where do I get it from?

[demonito]

directly from pecard!

[demonito]

i have a couple of small tubs here with me if you want it

[SpaceGnome]

dont get drunk and mistake it for ice cream….

Thinking about ordering my first pair of White's, and will probably order a pair of horse hide semi dress, can anyone explain the difference(s) in the available lasts (standard, swing, 38)? Send a mail to Bakers, but maybe someone here knows? Thanks.

[unharmed]

The swing last supposedly has a little more room across the toe box than the statndard which is why I've ordered it on my SJs. the 38 I don't know about.

[FurattoHeddo]

Seems I fecked up 38 is the same as swing last, I meant 461 classic last (damn copy pasting feckups)…
