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?

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.

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.

White's 6" Bounty Hunters

They fit great right out of the box. I feel like I could probably go with a regular width on my next pair though and only have a few days of break in time. Next build will be an 8" Bounty Hunter Plain Toe in all Natural CXL.

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.

[Megatron1505]

Can't wait to see them age dude, they will look even more beautiful after a few months wear.

I'm loving the natural cxl too…...may get a make up in 100% that......

[unharmed]

Beautiful. And basically exactly what I'm planning for my next pair. Great minds and all that

[joesaintjohn]

There's a couple pair in Natural at Little Joe's I'll take pictures of for you guys next time I'm up there.

Such an interesting leather. I wish there was an even lighter version. I guess it depends on each hide though.

You will not be let down. Order from Kyle at Bakers. He even got 3 different leathers through for me. You can barely tell from pics but the heel is Black Smooth. I figured it would be better to have a harder wearing leather on the heel compared to the Black CXL Toe Vamp.

Please let me know when you go. If they have what I want in my size, I may need a favor…

No worries, dude, I got you!
