Im looking to buy a pair of Whites.  I found a few pictures of pair that I would want, but not exactly sure of the specs of it.  Since you guys are experts on here, I was wondering if you could help to figure out what the exact specs are.

Here is what I think they are so far:

Style: Smoke Jumper or Bounty Hunter?
Height: 7in
Lace Design: Plain Toe
Last: Classic 461
Toe Vamp Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween
Counter Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween
Upper (Shaft) Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween
Leather Liner: ?
Edge: Brown or Natural? (Not sure what this is)
Midsole: ?
Sole: Vibram 700
Celastic Toe Box: ?
Toe Cap: Leather Toe Cap
Toe Cap Leather Color: Natural Chrome Excel
Hardware: Brass Eyes and Hooks
Top: ?
Steel Toe: No Thanks

Am I close? Did I get anything wrong?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Think its a natural edge, single celastic toe box, cut top, lined, single midsole but 1/2 guessing on some of those.

[smittybat]

Not sure you can tell those are lined or not, but I wouldn't line those boots if it were me.

[Megatron1505]

CXL doesn't require lining.

^Good call.  Looks like a semi-dress last but hard to tell - anybody else?

[JCMx800]

461 Classic Work Boot Last

[EastWest]

^ Agreed.

And….. new boots arrived... #8 burgundy cxl, 461 last, mini-lug commando sole.  Me likey 

But needs new shoestrings - these are too flimsy.

And my natty cxl BHs… breaking in nicely.

[seanocono]

Both pairs are great, Bluegrass.

Just got a shipping confirmation from Baker's for a new pair of Natural CXL Nomads.  Only ordered them 5 weeks ago so I hope it's for real.  Double mid, soft toe.

Sent my foot tracings to Baker's 3 weeks ago - still nothing. Whatever you try to do using DHL they constantly fail. This is a fecking basic letter!

This probably belongs to the ramdom rants section…

Cool, pics please!!! A pair of engineers is up next for me, but wavering between White's, Wesco or "other".  But I love the way White's fit - that is a big plus.
