OTTER !!!!! You crazy bastard 

Sell me their bones 

[Chris]

I'm thinking otter describes the tanning process, because that looks like regular cowhide to me.  But then again, I've never seen otter, so what do I know?

[pentastarch]

It looks like regular cowhide to me too

[Megatron1505]

It is cowhide, I was joking 

[Finn666]

[Chris]

Sorry, I'm off my game today.

I got so excited about Otter leather…

@demonito:

Awesome boots Demonito - would you mind telling me the build spec?

Still keen to know the spec on these - anyone?
I'm guessing that they're 8" SD's with a mixture of black dress and bullhide?

[tmg]

For some reason the picture's missing from my last post?

Hi.  Can anyone speak to the difference between the "Standard" last and the "Semi-dress" last on a Smokejumper/Farmer-rancher.  I guess I thought they were the same, but Bakers lists both as options (along with the Swing and the 461 Classic, which I have a good sense of…)

Thanks.

[EastWest]

From experience with both I would say the SJ is more roomy full stop and noticeably in height above the instep and toe box. Hope that helps.

same here, plus the standard last has no upturn in the front, the soles are sitting flat on the ground.

[nicecrackaction]

had the heels lowered a bit…

After 8 weeks, the wait is over.

Love them. I'm just in love with Natty CXL. It's one of the most interesting leathers I've ever seen, besides the Brown American Harness from Viberg.
