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]

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.

6" Smoke Jumper
Lace to Toe
Brown smooth
single celastic
single midsole
vibram 430
10B left - 10.5B right 
they claim they'll be here by the end of the month.

[Bluegrass]

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

Some interesting choices there.  triple mid will be fun to break in.

[EastWest]

Look forward to seeing that one!

[ben2t]

@ Andy,  I ask Kyle about the thickest leather in black and he suggest the black smooth, and yeah its thicker than chromexcel sample leather he sent me. I think this will not stretch much because aside from thickness its hard specially at the ankle hope this aged beautufully.
