      Hey, could anyone tell me how to solve the problems as below?

      I want to custom my cougar on http://buildaboot.com/.
      But I can't find the leather named "Burgundy Chrome Excel by Horween".

      And I sent a mail to them a week ago but get no reply.

      sign…

          Thank you!
          But I can't find the "False Tongue" item on this page…Is that the default setting?
          Actually, I want to mix 2 kinds of Horween leather, Burgundy & natural... But there is just brown. Is it equal to natural?

            can some one give the details on the difference of close vs standard trim aside from single or double stiching in the sole?

            As far as I know, that's it.  Close trim is cut a little closer to the foot and only has room for a single row of stitching.  Standard trim has a little wider edge to the sole and has enough space for a double row of stitching.

              No they probably haven't updated all the boots with all the leathers.  Email Kyle at orders@bakershoe.com and ask him if it's available.He usually responds quick and he humors our crazy requests.

                Specmvl - I'm a 13 in RW and 12.5 in White's.  the 12.5 White's are roomy enough for thick socks.

                Ohighyo - thnks, the #8 cxls look better and better every time I wear them - if there is such a thing as a "dressy" boot this is it.

                  Hey guys need some opinion. If I am a RW SIZE 9E. What width should I go for? For whites? E as well? Will there be any different in their width?

                    Pal, I got the same question as you. I am 9D in RW 9111 and 9E in Wesco Jobmaster…

                      My experience is 1/2 size down, same width - but I'd encourage you to take the time and do the tracing.  Why take a chance with a $4-500 investment?  Even if you are looking on the aftermarket, send a tracing to Baker's - don't cost you anything but your time.

                        Finally pulled the trigger! No special configuration by any means, was looking for a versatile pair of boots. Again many thanks to the IH forum, such a great resource and community.

                        Happy to hear your comments, especially critical ones.

                          Welcome to the club. You just purchased the last boots you will ever need. Only problem is it never works out that way.

                                    Love the medallion toe and nice to see black smooth too. What's your opinion on the leather so far?

                                        Now that is truly a custom order - congrats!  I'd heard the wait times were shorter than the standard 8+ weeks.  Good to know.
