Planned on chasing them, but someone has chased them up to $540…wow

Awesome - I love the plain SJ last, it's a great look.  Who knew you could dress up a pair of SJs like that?  Them's going to church shoes!

^^beautiful! Which leather are they made of?
I have to try the same with my Farmer/Ranchers…

[CertifiedInsane]

Thanks for the compliments guys, these are essentially the farmers/ranchers. SJ without the 100 vib lug soles are farmers/ranchers. The leather on these are brown smooth leather, worn for 2yrs and just applied a second coat of obenaufs and brushed for the clean look!

Never seen a white's brown that light

Have wanted to pull the trigger on a pair of White's for some time & I have to say thank you for the crazily detailed -to hell with that- encyclopedic  knowledge displayed on this thread, one of hundreds of threads in this forum where vast amounts of information can be found. I mean-you know you guys are nuts, right?
Of course I just read hundreds of pages of minutiae on a single topic so I'm quite normal. Anyway thanks again to Megatron bluegrass, Pillowpants Hectic &  everyone for helping a FNG grasp an overwhelming amount of material in a short amount of time    -Ed

Happy to do it.  Yes I am a bit nuts (I will speak only for myself).  I read this whole thread too, before I jumped in. Plus the one on Styleforum. Boots are important and should be treated seriously.  My only regret is I spent so many years in the dark wearing inferior boots.  Speaking of boots, I buttered these up recently - looking (and feeling) good.

I like these plain jane black SJs (not mine).

[demonito]

only problem i see is they will jack up the prices soon

Welp, I just put in an order for my personal grails…Some may be surprised by the simplicity: 8 Inch Black Farmer Ranchers, soft toe, plain toe, brass hardware, single mid, black trim, vibram 700...Essentially 8 inch smoke jumpers without a lug sole!

Not sure if this was posted yet but seems hopeful for White's:

And if not, get in your orders soon before they retire!
