      Yeah, I was going to guess that it's treated with silicone or something to make it more water resistant, you know, since otters are water animals.  Guess we'll find out when you get them in a month or two.

          Gotta admit, I'm still getting used to the new pic, though.

              Otter leather is oil treated calf I believe, I asked Kyle about it a while ago as it confused me too.

                    @TH3515:

                    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;-)

                    Sold. So… did anybody here get them?
                    I asked Whitesriver for details on the build. They replied that this build is only available through Bakers but didn't give further infos..go figure...

                        Hope I’m wrong, but those look like cordovan…

                        I'm afraid you were right. Just got an email from Kyle. It's their limited edition #8 shell SD. So we're looking at roughly 1000$ here 😢

                          I feel bad for anyone who slept on those. $360 for cordovan boots. Wow. Wish they were my size.
