White's Boots
-
There's an interesting SD build on White's ebay auctions:
The description only says "burgundy leather", but doesn't mention what type of leather it is. Calf? Water Buffalo? Seems to be very glossy and the colour has a beautiful depth. Also, the toe cap is interesting. It has that dark burnished look that is quite popular on "fashion" boots and which I normally don't like. I think it's pretty cool here. Could that be a new option - burnished dress toe cap?
What do you think? btw that pair is way too small for me. But I am thinking about a pair of SDs in the near future;-)

I think those are water buffalo. That combo is insanely sharp
-
I was looking at these (there in my size ) but whats up with the in step? looks like it goes in way to far?
-
The mid sole at the instep hasn't been trimmed in close enough, even the beloved Viberg do it as well sometimes, looks weird but an easy fix at a cobblers or someone whose bloody nifty with a belt sander. That's why its worth starting off with a natural edge and having it colours after any trimming you might like/ need.

Wow…
I love Whites, but those are not pretty!!! :o

What's the black otter leather? I'm assuming that it's not actually otter, but I know what happens when you assume.

I've always thought that leather looked interesting. Really curious to see how this turns out, urb.
Here's a sample, Chris:

I have no idea whether it's real otter or not. I just like it because it's a little more matte and pliable than the standard Black Dress but still leagues ahead of the CXL.

I once talked to a bootmaker who told me, "if you can kill it, you can make boots out of it." I've seen boots made from fish skins, frog skins, and cow stomachs. Nothing would surprise me, but I agree, real otter seems unlikely.
