White's Boots

[Megatron1505]

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

No Mega, I think Beef Tarka is like Beef Masala just Otter…...

@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 so, if anyone hear got them please post lots of pics :-*, there are almost NO pictures of cordo Whites…

@4c:

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.

[Chris]

Yeah, someone got one hell of a deal.

[tigerpac]

Crazy!

Fugh… I knew there was a good reason I liked those...

^Shiny boots of leather!
These look great… any more pics?
What leather is that? CXL?

[TH3515]

^Ah, brown dress. Saw it in your post on the other forum…

[Bluegrass]

I'm liking that brown dress - my new favorite…

[CertifiedInsane]

Very nice collection you have there.

Brown dress ends up looking even better

@Certified
Do you have the same size in your SJs and your SDs? How's the difference going from one to the other? I'm asking because I have a pair of Farmer Ranchers (SJ last) which are a perfect fit and my next pair will probably be a pair of Semi Dress…

[derivative666]

I can tell you BH and SD are the same but, I think BH is on the SD last
