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

        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.

              @ 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.

                            Ordered November 1, 2013.  The waiting and anticipation has begun.  Pretty standard build…However, I haven't seen very many examples of a Smoke Jumper LTT done up in brown dress leather.

                            Smoke Jumper (on Semi Dress last) or Bounty Hunter depending on which way you look at it
                            Height = 6"
                            Last = Semi Dress (Bounty Hunter)
                            Lace Design = Lace to Toe
                            Counter Leather = Brown Dress
                            Upper (Shaft) Leather = Brown Dress
                            Toe Vamp Leather = Brown Dress
                            Leather Liner = Cream
                            Hardware = Brass Eyes & Hooks
                            Celastic Toe Box = Single
                            Top = Cut Top (standard)
                            Midsole = Single
                            Sole = Vibram 430 Mini Vib
                            Edge = Brown
                            Size = Length 8.5
                            Width = D (medium)

                              That's a nice build, and one that I could see myself choosing, will be looking forward to pics when you get them 🙂

                                Thanks TMG.  I agonized over the leather choice for a couple weeks.  I wanted a brown boot and something different from my British Tan White's Semi Dress boots I already have.  Will post pics when I get them.

                                  Interested to see how the LTT looks with the SD last…..cool build.

                                      Read through 212 pages…..forgot about every other boot I was looking at. Not going red wing, or thorogood, or OSB, or anything. I'm just gonna save until I can afford:

                                      Bounty Hunter
                                      Probably 6"
                                      Plain Toe
                                      Red Dog Roughout
                                      Single Midsole
                                      Commando min-lug (or Vib430 if that doesn't work)
                                      1/4 dropped standard heel (I am 6' 4" already)
                                      Antique eyes & hooks
                                      No liner (from what I learned....roughout needs no liner)

                                      Thats the hard part done....now I just need some funds!

                                          Urbanwoodsman, any chance of getting a picture or a description of how these boots have aged? I'm curious about how the brown distressed leather is evolving compared to the Nat CXL.

                                          From your pics, the 2 leathers look extremely similar when new, except that the Nat CXL seems to have a bit of a sheen, while the distressed smooth looks completely matte. Is that accurate? Any other differences?

                                          How about 6 months later?

                                          I'm thinking about ordering a pair of BHs in one of these leathers (or maybe both, like you have done), and it would be really helpful to understand how each of them wears over time. You've got them both of them on the same boot, so it's nearly a perfect controlled experiment!

                                            Leftcoast - these boots (re-posted from prior page) are all nat. cxl BHs, 9-10 mos of regular wear, several times per week - stains across insteps are from indigo, and darkness on top of left boot is from motorcycle shifter.  I have not touched them with any sort of leather treatment or tried to clean them (they are not really dirty from normal streetwear).  hopefully this gives you an idea of how the cxl ages.
