@tigerpac:

Little update - lexol didn't do anything… whiskey 1 me 0.  (well really by now really whiskey 500 me 0)

whiskey bath is looking better and better

I have used saddle soap then a treatment of obenaufs or pecards or whatever you like, than a good shine. should be all you need to get rid of a stain. these leathers are tough and can handle the cleanings. i got industrial oils on my vibergs and saddle soap got the stains out and the obenaufs replenished the leather.

Got an order update after just four weeks - nice surprise!

Just saw this pop up on Baker's Facebook. Looks pretty good. I've always wanted this make up.

"Great example of quality craftsmanship from our repair dept! This is a Hathorn oxford, but turned into to a hand welted construction with a stacked leather heel base combined with a mini lug commando half sole!"

They've been churning them out lately. Hopefully my remake SDs will come as quickly as the original ones were (3wks)

[specmvl]

Hopefully the quality ist still up there…

On our way to Venice Beach we drop by The Stronghold and they have a few display of nice White's Semi Dress and Alden Boots.

Today I received my White`s Semi Dress Horsehides. They are dope. By far the best boots I ever had - weight, materials and craftsmanship are totally next level. Happy with the setup and the fit as well.

[tigerpac]

[ChuckDenim]

[specmvl]

Thank you guys. I´m really excited about these.

[derivative666]

[theorocks]

[Bluegrass]

Sweet.  That Horse is really nice.  Congrats.

[ben2t]

i have the same horse hide in brown built on mind, great looking boots.

[specmvl]

Do it - the leather has an amazing depth.

What is your advice on treating White`s? I´d guess Obenauf´s LP should be fine but I hear a lot that applying shoe care too often may harm the leather. Is an initial treatment reasonable?

[Bretro_]

No real reason to grease them too often; tho maybe a dab here and there on skuffs. I say just keep them clean and well brushed.

[ben2t]

Me i just use White's Heavy Duty Preservative that Baker's included with boots.  I do put Snoseal on my other boots which i rialized is useless because there is no snow or it seldom rain here in SoCal, it just darkens the leather though.
