If he hasn't sent them yet, tell him to forget it. I ordered a set direct from Whites.

[Megatron1505]

Will do.

Would love to see the colors.  Work your magic Urb/Mega.

Both sound like solid, classic workboots.  I'm sure they'll look great for years.

Has anyone seen White's Red Dog smooth in person? I'm looking to do my boots in it as I've been told it's a close approximation of the Red Wing Oro Russet and it would be great to get an opinion (or two). I've asked Kyle and it was his recco.

Erm, yes….

@Giles:

Whites…

[zwer]

Aha. Now since I don't trust the colour on my laptop, in your opinion, how does it compare to the Red Wing Oro Russet? Exact? Close? Not at all close?

Those are sweet boots, BTW.

[Giles]

No idea.  But here are some other pics….

[zwer]

Thanks!

[Graeme]

I saw those boots at the weekend, and they look nice.

IMO you can't go wrong with red footwear.

^Both of those builds are great. Eventually, I would like an all Natty CXL myself. In the interim, I'm just trying to decide on something different for this contest.

Jeff, I think you made the right decision. Your build sounds like an uncompromising offspring of your first and second choice.

Wait until you see the epic-ness I'm going to drop on this competition…

Just out of interest, has anyone gone rough out?
