White's Boots

[supersalami]

hey guys, from experience, how long do you think it actually takes for these boots to be made? it's been 2 weeks and it still says it's pending..

[Megatron1505]

6 to 10 weeks, depending on when you order. Their current lead time should be on either the Whites or Bakers Facebook page.

its going to say that for a long time.  I had the same "issue".

[supersalami]

so i guess it's normal…? it won't change til it's ready to get shipped?

[smittybat]

I just placed an order for the Engineer boots through Bakers and they estimated the wait at 8-10 weeks right now.  It's well worth it.

pretty much.  plan on 8 weeks.  at week 7.5, send off an e-mail to Kyle and see if he can get you an update.  Getting teh UPS shipping e-mail is one of the best e-mails after such a wait.

the first 4 weeks are the hardest.  the last 4 fly by.  In my experience at least.

[supersalami]

[Megatron1505]

I got mine in the UK about 5 days after they shipped.

hey guys, its my first post here but i was just wondering whether you guys would recommend a pair of bakers oxfords or the oak street bootmakers oxford? i like the look of both but im really unsure if which to get

[Megatron1505]

I have the Bakers/ Whites Oxford and I love them. The actual Bakers Oxford is made by Nicks I think, so the quality should be spot on.

I don't have any experience of OSB, maybe G or Seul could offer an opinion?

[bagley920]

Different animals IMO. I have the OSB's and they are great quality but definitely a little less rugged than Baker's Oxfords would be.
