@jarrabito:

Jon,

Here is what I "think":

Style: Smoke Jumper or Bounty Hunter?  BH is SJ on semi-dress last.
Height: 7in - not sure, looks like it.
Lace Design: Plain Toe - Yes.
Last: Classic 461 - Yes, I think it is.
Toe Vamp Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween - Yes.
Counter Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween - Yes.
Upper (Shaft) Leather: Natural Chrome Excel by Horween - Yes.
Leather Liner: ? I have natty cxl boots, agree with the others, not needed.
Edge: Brown or Natural? (Not sure what this is) - Natural edge.
Midsole: ? - Single.
Sole: Vibram 700 - Yes.
Celastic Toe Box: ? - Yes.
Toe Cap: Leather Toe Cap - Yes.
Toe Cap Leather Color: Natural Chrome Excel - Yes.
Hardware: Brass Eyes and Hooks - Think so.
Top: ? Looks like cut top.
Steel Toe: No Thanks - yep
Also…
Close trim - 1 row of stitching.
Block/traveller heel, looks like standard height.

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.

Pics will be inbound on arrival, along with some more of my black nomads.

The Commando Sole looks so great and comfy. Need a boot with it.

[smittybat]

Just got my new Nomad's

Natural CXL
Double Midsole
No toe reinforcement

[tigerpac]

Very nice - hasn't been enough Nomad love on here - thanks!

[Finn666]

that natty cxl looks pretty white-ish to me!…

[tigerpac]

^Agreed, but probably not for too long…

[smittybat]

I think they'll age nicely.

[ben2t]

Waiting game is now on!

Copy this one except that i put all brass eyes! Hoping that got the sizing right.

[Bluegrass]

I love the natty cxl but those pics do look lighter than mine - could be the lighting - in any case they will age beautifully without a doubt.  great score!

[Bluegrass]

nice choice ben - assuming you got the size right you will love them.

[tigerpac]

I like that build a lot Ben - nice work - what was the estimated wait time?

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, those are nice Ben. The kind of boot you'll still be wearing in the retirement home.
