      @Megatron1505:

      Sure you're not thinking of buffalo, I have that too and that is a beautiful soft leather (I prefer it to CXL).

      Haha no, I'm talking about bull hide. I have them on my 2 tone bounty hunters, and they really do feel softer and lighter than the dress

        I have no idea then, my bull hide boots (the Armageddon boots) were thick, stiff and very heavy, the old dress leather SD's were quite pliable.

            I'm thinking burgundy may be the way to go…

            Although these natural bounty hunters look mighty fine…

            so both of these do have the "Standard" heel right?
            the natural cxl BH has no celastic toe box, so is this how all the boots without that detail gonna look?
            what's the advantage/disadvantage of that feature anyway?

            also, where can I find the option (on the Bakers page) to add a kilty? it's not showing…

                Imo toe box is just to mantain the shape of the toe? Whreas stell option is for safety purpose? As for the kilties i think it comes as standard package? You are going for a second order finn?

                  It varies from country to country, but it's not pleasant.

                    To have a celastic toe toe really just depends on whether you want the toe box to keep its shape or not, some people really dig the "collapsed" look the toe box gets with wear, I don't.

                        yeah that's what I thought as well…would love to see two aged pairs of boots, one with and one with ought the celastic toe box!
                        anyone got pics?
                        nope, no 2nd order...need to get the first one done to see if everything ends up fine, after that  sure ill order another pair...not in the next 2years though 😛

                          Hi All,

                          Seeing as there's a lot of attention in this thread, thought I'd make note that we're 1 backer short of getting a custom run of IHVB-01. Thought someone in this thread who's got the boot lust may be interested. The last backer gets to decide on the sole either original or Urbs/BLACKFROSTT style.

                          @Finn666:

                          original sole

                          @BLACKFROSTT:

                          😞  😘 LOOKING for ONE other buyers willing to go in with us for this build 😞  😘

                          THREE DOWN! ONE TO GO!!  😉

                          If interested, oh last backer, please make yourself known over in the Viberg thread.

                          Now, back to our regular HWBC programming  :D.

                                          that's what I thought!…
                                          I think I'll go natural cxl for toes and shaft and might change the counter part to natural, brown or #8 burgundy cxl! we'll see...
                                          does anyone know how much width D and E differs (like in cm or inch)?...
