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.

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.

I've applied Pecards Oil twice and I'm about to do it again.

Those look great

What are people treating their Horse Hide Whites with? I have some Obenauf's LP. That would be fine, right?
