White's Boots
-
So, dress leathers are the toughest leather I can buy at bakers?
-
those look great bl@ster
what are the specs? -
I wouldn't say dress is the toughest you can buy JCM, it's just that it wears nicely over time. Most of the leathers on offer are tough and varying but pretty heavy weight. Quite a few of the other leathers may spot and scuff (whi still polish up nicely) easier than the likes of dress and french calf leather for example, which are less pourus.
-
Did anyone apply Obenaufs or something similar to the distressed smooth leather to darken it up a bit??
-
No kilties

No Kilties!!!
I whole heartedly agree with Mega, as he is a super genius
Double fixed bad
-
it seems most cobblers don't have the tools and/or knowledge to resole a regular pair of White's because of the double stitching through the outersoles. I've noticed the 'close trim' option only has one stitch going through the welt and outer sole. Does this mean the close trim is in fact a regular goodyear stitch and thus easily resoled by cobblers?
-
Kilties!!!
Fixed
that's the way to go
what an awesome pair there mate…congrats!
Look what just arrived
they're so great in person and the communication with East West Apparel with sizing advice tracking numbers and any queries I had in general were all answered immediately, I couldn't recommend them enough! Thanks again!

The Bakers website did not like my payment via PayPal, so I send an e-mail to kyle. He usually answers my questions within the next hour or something, but this time I already waited 24 hours nearly. Being patient sucks haha Please take my money!!!

^what did you order? I am struggeling, too much stuff I want to buy within the next months. But, I took your advice, Johannes, and got an appointment with Matthias Böttcher. No money for new boots, I fear…
-
Yes, I should start to safe some money for the new heavy flannel´s and the deck-jacket, but I got a little tax-refund
I wanna order a pair of Whites Bounty Hunter, distressed smooth, 430 Vib sole…
Nice to hear that you go to Böttcher What´s up with the Dettmer appointment? -
Both are happening. And the Annie sleeve. See my problem? And I dont want to miss the flannel neither. Did you go 8"?
-
Flo, I see your problem
Nope, 6", maybe my next boots will be 8" -
Well, when you get them, maybe we can arrange another meetup, then I can try out my jealousy tolerance.
-
Make up time is 8-10 weeks at the moment, maybe 12 weeks. Like I said in the official meet-up thread -> anytime, anywhere!!! No reason to be jealous or something. You have appointments with Böttcher and Dettmer, I should be jealous
-
Will keep you updated.

Hope so!
