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?

@ben2t:

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.

@Bluegrass:

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.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You too, Bums_Fan!

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…

[Bluegrass]

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.

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

[specmvl]

Thank you, I heard about that…

[Anesthetist]

That horse is going to only get better. Nice build!

[Bluegrass]

Those will be awesome… congrats.

[specmvl]

Thank you guys, hope I´ll get them before winter is over…

Killer boots, man!

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

I went ahead and placed my order a couple weeks ago.

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