    I think they'll age nicely.

        I love the natty cxl but those pics do look lighter than mine - could be the lighting - in any case they will age beautifully without a doubt.  great score!

              Yeh, those are nice Ben. The kind of boot you'll still be wearing in the retirement home.

                  another couple of pics.  They aren't as light as they appear in the photos.

                    Really liking those minus the non-celastic toe. I've been interested in the Nomads since seeing Jimmer_5's pair on Fedora Lounge awhile ago. Nice to see them in a beautiful leather like Natty CXL. Just always been scared of sizing them.

                      I love them, even the normal celastic toe on my black ones are pretty sleek  I'd planned on getting a pair in brown until I saw fre-co's at:

                      I think in the past Kyle at Baker's has sent samples for helping determine sizing.
                      FWIW I'm an 11d in all my White's, work semi-dress and nomad and Alden Indy.

                        thanks guys,
                        but with hundreds of pages that i went through before pulling the trigger on this i found out just now that i made the mistake of choosing the option of double midsole as i should have pick single midsole only and a tiny double midsole will be built as standard for commando mini lug half sole, as confirmation of this i re read Dave's option back at page 38 of his Horse Hide on this thread, though i sent a picture of build i want to Bakers i am afraid that i will get too thick midsole as a result of choosing double midsole aside for paying more for the unnecessary double midsole option. grrrr..

                          i think the double midsole is a matter of taste - there are some killer boots with double soles - you might like it.  I think (I have read) that they may be a bit harder to break in with a double sole, but i can't say from personal experience, as all mine are single.  These are my classic dress boots with single sole and commando mini-lug half sole and 1 lift lower heel.

                            I agree and there are some double midsole that i considered basing my built. My worry is since its standard for a commando mini lug half sole to have tiny double midsole then my order of a double midsole will actually have tripple midsole and with 1/4 lowered lifts might look funny, the one on my mind is just excatly the same as yours. anyway i sent email to Bakers if it is possible to revised my order, hoping its  ot too late for it.

                                Oh hell yes.  No worries my friend.  these things take 8 weeks to build, so you should be fine!

                                  FYI for anyone with a lot of money and little patience, Imogene & Willie has a full restock of their I&W branded White's boots.

                                  Four nice builds to choose from, and no 8+week wait  :)… but looks like at least $100+ markup vs. Baker's.
