      IIRC there is a picture diagram with the shape/features of all the Whites lasts. Anyone know where I can find it? Poked around with no success.

        I've seen that before too, but can't recall where.

        I have SD/BH, 461 and SJ, and the biggest difference is the SJ is more square.  I mean they are all clearly work boots but I guess you could say the SJ looks more like a construction boot (or of course a fire-fighter's boot) vs. something you'd see on a farm.

        My Uncle was a farmer before he passed and he always wore Knapp boots which are very similar to the BH.  He always had two pairs, one for work and one for "dress" - only shoes I ever recall seeing him wear.  When the "work" pair wore out he'd buy a new pair and those would become his dress boots.

            JCM, what is that, harvest or red dog roughout? Love it.  Congrats!  Is that a smooth red leather tongue?

            Aho, here are 3 lasts compared… bottom SJ, left is BH/SD, right is SD C641 (upturn toe).

              Hey Bluegrass, it´s the Red Dog Rought Out 🙂 The Harvest Rough Out is a little thinner, so I choose the Red Dog, because they gonna be my new Winter shitkickers. That is the reason why I wanna wax em at the weekend. And Yes, it´s a Red Dog Smooth tongue 😘
              Like your love for blue laces!

                    Funny, you never really know what they will look like until you open that box - I've seen other pics of red dog roughout that look quite different - and I would not have guessed that the various roughout leathers were different thicknesses - although I have heard that desert storm roughout has to be sold with a liner. Love that pop of color from the red tongue.

                        Thanks for the kind words!
                        pP, I applied some Obenaufs LP on a not-so-visible area and it looks great so far!

                            My pair looks similar, but my old digicam has a crappy flash.
                            I like the variations in the leather 🙂

                                Nice boots JCMx800! That red dog rough-out looks superb! The red tongue, red line by the welt and natural edge make for beautiful details. Good taste sir.

                                      My favorite part of the forum is by far… pictures!  Those are awesome!  I can see you are jumping right into the dirt and breaking them in... remind us what the two leathers are??

                                          Wow, that looks great with the thick leather.  They kind of looked two-toned in the first pic on your feet.

                                            Any pics of a build close to this? #55 last, soft toe, standard heel, single midsole, 269 outsoles

                                            I'm debating the heel specs for some boondocker inspired BHs in distressed RO; to either go with a lowered standard heel with 269 soles or lowered with 700 or 430 soles. I thought for sure I'd want the lowered with 430 ala Bluegrass or Hollows, but my recently aquired SDs with double leather soles on the standar heel got me thinking differently. Haven't seen many pics out there (if any!) of the standard heel with a soft toe.

                                            Ok I'm done typing 😃
