White's Boots

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...

Few days in and I'm loving my sienna water buffalos, double leather sole.

Cheers @davito, as always your style is flawless too!

I owned some Hathorns, sizing is identical.

I was going to sell my Bounty Hunters but have decided to keep them and try to beat them into submission some more, failing that I'll just have them relasted.

@aho:
I seem to recall someone owning a pair of Hathorn's…Can anyone comment on sizing vs. the White's line? Wondering if I can get away with the same size...
I have a pair of Hathorn Smokejumpers and a pair of White's Farmer/Ranchers. I expected the Hathorns (which I bought later) to be identical wrt sizing but that is only half true. My Hathorn SJ are much roomier (wider, but not longer) than the F/R. For me , it's OK because I got the Hathorn as a winter/bad weather boot. The F/Rs fit wonderfully precise with thin wool socks, whereas the Hathorn SJs need thick Smartwool socks and still have more heel slip than the FRs.
Don't know about the other lasts… -
^ Different lasts, are the boots tagged as the same width?
