      Of course, especially with chips and malt vinegar.

      Is that where whale penis leather comes from?

            Trying not to crowbar this in but my website specialising in White's only for now is pretty much live apart from a few changes and tweaks but I will have the build a boot options there. I'm based in the UK so if you wanted to order through someone in Europe please get in touch and I can price a boot for you if of interest. Will put the website address up next week anyway.

            Cheers.

            This sounds so good!!!

                  French Calf leathers does have great patina to them after long wear.

                                    How do you specify that you want the rubber outersole to continue at the arch from the front to the back like it shows here. I thought it was called the Half Slip, but apparently not? A lot of White's boots I see rubber on just the heel and the front, but not always the arch.

                                    Also, has there been a post of the Bounty Hunter with a medallion captoe on an SD last? Couldn't find a pic searching through the thread.

                                        the sole bit is easy. just don't go for the composition half-sole. all other options go from front to back.

                                          how do they fare against a little scuffing? i've been told they're really thin and delicate.. I'm afraid they won't hold up when I use them and get fecked real fast and bad 😞
