            WOW D666 great examples (I can't decide which i like better the brown or the black) how old are your boots? also you you apply any conditioners or such ( especially to the raw scuffed area)

              Nah never condition. If the leather got dry I would throw some Obenaufs or Pecards on them. I used to do it to my Alden 405. My White's have never been treated. Both pair are a little over a year old. I also have a pair of black cherry cxl/natty cxl bounty hunters that I love but never seem to wear. My next pair are going to be harvest roughout BH

                Build sounds great ben2t.
                Clean and simple, yet with flare. Good idea to order a black tongue. Can’t wait to see a picture of them. 🙂

                    Maybe he is referring to #8 burgundy cxl.  I have never heard of or seen a cxl called black cherry being offered by White's.  But burgundy and natural cxl would be a great combination…

                    This is burgundy #8 cxl...

                              Finally received the call from Josh at Bakers on sizing. He said that I should get a size 10 and B on the width. This was surprising to me but I've never had custom boots before. I usually wear a 10D and have running shoes that are 9-1/2E. Anyone have opinions on this. He measured my tracings at 10-7/8" and my ball circumference is just shy of 9-1/2".  I trust his judgement though as this is his job and does it everyday.

                              I have a question on the the trim though. I would like the 2 rows of stitching. Is that the standard trim?  Can you get that on the close trim?  Sometimes the standard trim looks really wide and sometimes it doesn't. I like the look of the trim here. http://www.bakershoe.com/Product/Detail/custom-semi-dress-by-whites-boots/
                              It doesn't seem too bulky like it sometimes does. Is that the standard trim?

                                  I think 2 rows is the standard trim

                                    I trust Josh on the sizing. I thought my foot was pretty wide, but he put me in a D width and suggested I could go with a C if I wanted. I went D to be safe.

                                      One more question. Opinions on British tan vs brown horse hide?

                                        Sopiarz, I am always a D width, forever, in everything - sneakers, boots, dress shoes.  And I did the White's tracings and it came back a D. And my White's in D width fit perfect.  I don't mean to confuse you but just saying… You might want to re-trace and double check.  And 2 rows is def. standard trim - close trim is 1 row.

                                        I got my boots today after only ~4 weeks - they are beautiful... except 1 problem, I ordered soft toe and they came with celastic. So disappointed, and trying to sort it out.  I called and they said "a manager" would call me right back - but no one ever did - and now they are closed.  So I get to fret about it until they open again tomorrow.

                                          BG…same thing happened to me with my Nomad Engineer's...came with a single celastic and I wanted none....but I hardly noticed and think they look  fine this way.

                                            Yeah, I get it, and the boots look fantastic - I am torn - at same time, it's not exactly what I wanted and at $450 I feel like I should say something.  I don't know what to do.  I'm really disappointed…  I've got White's with a soft toe and with the hard toe, and I prefer the former... But these boots are fantastic.
