        Agreed.  On Tuesday, I'm calling every bootmaker I know to see if they can track down whale penis leather for my next pair of boots…

        EDIT: I just like saying whale penis leather.  I'm going to see how many posts I can mention it before the amusement wears off for me.

            Of course, especially with chips and malt vinegar.

            Is that where whale penis leather comes from?

              Supposedly whale penis helps with virility if ingested, not sure about on your feet. Could give you hobbit feet…

                  Trying not to crowbar this in but my website specialising in White's only for now is pretty much live apart from a few changes and tweaks but I will have the build a boot options there. I'm based in the UK so if you wanted to order through someone in Europe please get in touch and I can price a boot for you if of interest. Will put the website address up next week anyway.

                  Cheers.

                      supersalami I believe my rising sun is made from french calf leather. I love it because its different from the ones I have in my Vibergs and softer from the beginning.

                        French Calf leathers does have great patina to them after long wear.

                                          How do you specify that you want the rubber outersole to continue at the arch from the front to the back like it shows here. I thought it was called the Half Slip, but apparently not? A lot of White's boots I see rubber on just the heel and the front, but not always the arch.

                                          Also, has there been a post of the Bounty Hunter with a medallion captoe on an SD last? Couldn't find a pic searching through the thread.

                                            Page 98, second pic down is a SJ/ BH medallion cap toe on the SD last.
