White's Boots

[aho]

Good stuff, I'm sure it'd be hard to let go of them during the re-build as well. As far as the leather, my guess would be Red Dog.

Just saw these:

The boot looks lovely, but I really dont like the buckles.

[4c]

My thoughts exactly… They should get some large brass ones.

[JCMx800]

G. himself has some nice buckles in the making

[Giles]

But he has decided he ain't selling them.  If you want a pair, you'll need to buy a pair of Wesco from me or one of my retailers…...Sorry, not working my nuts off sourcing stuff just to grace third party stuff with beautiful components they should source themselves....

I know it won't actually make any difference to how many I sell........But there we are.....

[JCMx800]

In Germany we say "Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl", it means something like "To give a broad hint"

[Giles]

Ah, and I am so stupid I don't actually see a BROAD hint coming my way…..

[superfuzz]

Bummer about the buckles. I really wanted a pair for some boots. But I understand your reasoning, G.

Nice find catchgeo!

[Bluegrass]

Those are badass.  Nice score…

[aho]

catchgeo, very nice! Packers are the last pair of White's I need for a full conquest…Funnily enough, it's the Packer that I've wanted all along but ended up getting into Bounty Hunters, Smokejumpers, LTT's etc. but no Packer boots!

[aho]

Just read on a Japanese poster's instagram that a local shop is no longer taking orders for White's…Looks like distribution there is already on roll back...wonder what ABC Marts plans are? Depending on how much of a footprint they plan in Japan it may have an effect on quality/production

[Megatron1505]

I fear for what will happen to White's, they were my first top quality boots and (to me) always had an integrity that seemed questionable elsewhere.

It's not like other companies don't make really nice boots, but White's never forgot who they were or what they are good at, working boots for working dudes not just us posers and work wear fetishists.

I'm hoping that if White's are to be scaled back in quality and their integrity compromised that Wesco can take their place in my affections, I'm certainly very impressed from what I've seen and handled so far, but you never forget your first love.

I'll be watching closely for developments as I'm sure will many others.

@catchgeo , those are perfect!
