666…killer photo of those white's....scuffing looks nice but I'm a wax polish freak so could never get there...unless I used sandpaper.

^Never ever do that to your whites

Derivative666 knows how to wear his boots!

Look awesome Derivative, i almost went for brown leather.
here what i finally decided on mine a simple standard build on semi dress.

Black Dress SD

WOW D666 great examples (I can't decide which i like better the brown or the black) how old are your boots? also you you apply any conditioners or such ( especially to the raw scuffed area)

[derivative666]

Nah never condition. If the leather got dry I would throw some Obenaufs or Pecards on them. I used to do it to my Alden 405. My White's have never been treated. Both pair are a little over a year old. I also have a pair of black cherry cxl/natty cxl bounty hunters that I love but never seem to wear. My next pair are going to be harvest roughout BH

Build sounds great ben2t.
Clean and simple, yet with flare. Good idea to order a black tongue. Can’t wait to see a picture of them.

Got any pics of these?? do not see black cherry cxl as an option sounds right up my ally if its what i imagine

Maybe he is referring to #8 burgundy cxl.  I have never heard of or seen a cxl called black cherry being offered by White's.  But burgundy and natural cxl would be a great combination…

This is burgundy #8 cxl...

[skaterpunk437]

that color is very very nice something to really consider thanks for the post

3 weeks! Excellent news
Ordered my SJ’s 24 days ago, so shouldn’t be much longer.
Thanks

It is #8 cxl I don't know what I am talking about. Thank you for the correction

Finally received the call from Josh at Bakers on sizing. He said that I should get a size 10 and B on the width. This was surprising to me but I've never had custom boots before. I usually wear a 10D and have running shoes that are 9-1/2E. Anyone have opinions on this. He measured my tracings at 10-7/8" and my ball circumference is just shy of 9-1/2".  I trust his judgement though as this is his job and does it everyday.

I have a question on the the trim though. I would like the 2 rows of stitching. Is that the standard trim?  Can you get that on the close trim?  Sometimes the standard trim looks really wide and sometimes it doesn't. I like the look of the trim here. http://www.bakershoe.com/Product/Detail/custom-semi-dress-by-whites-boots/
It doesn't seem too bulky like it sometimes does. Is that the standard trim?

Loooove #8.

I think 2 rows is the standard trim
