White's Boots
-
That's the same leather/color combo I chose. I'm glad it looks awesome. Now I'm even more impatient about getting mine.
-
^I would be pissed if my boots had stitching like that, but maybe it's just the pic…
I concur.. -
Doesn't bother me in the least bit. These are boots not dress shoes and I am not a fashionista. You guys need to get grounded.
-
The lines between work boots and fashion are blurry these days, nevertheless they are handsome, well made boots. I agree with Jeff also, boots should not look too perfect, they should have character in my opinion.
-
Personally I would expect better from Whites, but its one of those things that affects nothing in the long run. The stitching on my BH's is flawless. The stitching on my Oxfords leaves a bit to be desired. Both are built to last though.
-
I might be weird, but I like a little inconsistency, shows the true hand made character. I associate these things with authenticity.
-
Definitely agree that the odd inconsistency (if not too shoddy looking), even a bit of drunk sewing, remind you that they are hand made but on the flip they shouldn't go out the door like that without a note about it or discount offer. Wouldn't mind highlighting it with White's quality checkers if that's cool with you derivative? Not sticking my two pence in but they are expensive and treasured and ought to be checked accordingly.
-
Just to add to my 2 cents, if I was totally wrong then absolutely no-one would drive Alpha Romeos, and the Honda Accord would be the biggest selling car in the world.

^ great pair there K. …did you got them from "whitesriver"?...
They may be work boots, but if the stitching on a pair of Whites/Wesco or Vibergs showed that inconsistency, I'd be pissed. If Haraki sent me a pair of jeans with that sort of stitching inconsistency, he'd be getting a strongly worded email.
word!…
*yes i know the vibergs i've recently bought do also have a "stitching error" but the great price and with them being horsehide and all i thought fuck it and bought´em anyways (if they came from viberg directly and i wouldn´t know about the error i´d send them a "strongly worded email" as well though…but couldn´t be happier now and the "stitching error" isn´t that visible tbh.!
btw. the error shouldn´t be that visible anymore after a few months of wear with the natty darkening up and all!
so Jeff, if it doesn´t bother you that much…enjoy wearing them in good health my friend!
