      I think natural CXL makes boots look like they've got more patina earlier. In a way, that feels like a shortcut, but I doubt the end result will look as cool as one of those standard White's leathers that evolve more slowly, but also more credibly.

        i´m on the fence about white´s BH or SD…

        It`s all about ankle support. The BH is a  higher boot, and the SD is really dressy...I know this sounds corny, but it does summarize things...

          not a fan?
          I thought you went with the #8 cxl on your contest boot?! :-\

          I was kidding. I went color 8 because everyone went natty. Actually I did both but, the color 8 is sick. Go for it!!!

          I think you went with a similar design to what I did. lol

              that's what I thought in first place 😉

              think I'm going with the SD, since dressy is what I like (when it comes to boots) and also I think the Sd is going to be more versatile and with a lot of different denim styles! the BH might look too bulky under a pair of 555's for example…

                  Good choice…there is a lot more "boot" in the BH...

                      I will send the discount code when I send you registration number later today. The discount code should be obtained from me only, this is the deal with Bakers. If anyone else messages it or publicises it we risk losing the discount for everyone, and those responsible will not be in this competition.

                                  The brown smooth/oil leather came pretty dry, so I gave them a coat of obenauf's LP and they darkened slightly, but I like the shade of brown more this way.  😉
