White's Boots

@aho:
“They know what they’re doing,” Layton said. The only topic involving Spokane has been how to boost production at the Spokane factory, perhaps by opening a second production line, Layton said."
White’s prides itself in not using a production line for most of its boots… I suppose this means more boots like the “Otto White Vintage Packer” which is not hand stitched and (I believe) is production line made…
-
How are White's defining production line? My interpretation is that they would be duplicating their cutting to welting to finishing process of the workshop rather than a literal factory-style conveyor belt but I could be wrong.
Surely ABC-Mart have a good enough grasp of the Japanese market to know that one of the principal selling points (beyond durability) of White's is that they are hand-made in the US?

What would be the point of these message boards if not for a little over-speculation and reading too deeply into things?

Even if you did double post, boots like these deserve it. Just beautiful.

Maybe they are just non celastic???

Good golly, I wish I had some British tan in my collection!

Boots look great. They blue?
Any particular reason u left in the kiltie but cut the frayed end off? -

Any particular reason u left in the kiltie but cut the frayed end off?Thanks. They are black CXL – they do look a little bluish in the pic, but less so in real life.
I liked the way the tongue protectors made them fit around the instep, but didn't like the kiltie part so I cut them off with a pair of scissors! I also cut back some of the bellows tongue on each side so that they are now essentially semi-attached as an SD would be. It solved my ankle rubbing problems immediately and made the boots so much more pleasant to wear...
