Can any body upload fit pictures of you in your White's and formal pants.

[Chris]

I'd really recommend something like Alden or Tricker's instead.  They're much better for that type of use.

[Megatron1505]

They are much better, but if the dude has his heart set on Whites then a pair of black SD'd in dress leather, with a brown edge and a leather sole can look good in a formal occasion.

[Chris]

I agree, that could work, but he's talking about this build, which will not look good.

@Lsash:

I like to get White's for my new office kicks. Do BH(with double mid-soles + #450 sole) go well with pants and shirts?

[Lsash]

Well, true that. Consciously I knew it wouldn't look good.

Thanks guys.

I wrestled with the same thing Lsash.  Ended up doing the "I'll just get everything over time so I know for sure" approach… so I have White's, Trickers and Alden boots but only wear the trickers and aldens into the office, the whites are just too hardcore for the office.

i saw a pic on baker's Facebook page of kyle's wedding - it was he and all his groomsmen in matching white's semi-dress boots with their tuxes!

I wear boots to work every day unless it's a trip to Indianapolis corp. HQ.  We have a business casual attire policy which includes denim, and I take full advantage.  But even if I have to wear dress pants I have some nice Billy Reid wing-tip ankle boots that work quite well.

Any good comparison pics of leather liners? Google search comes up with a few cream and black, but I'm wondering how brown and red look…

Thanks Bretro! And since I crapped up the thread with so many questions, here are my Farmer Ranchers when they were new:

Dood! So, the farmer rancher is basically a soft toe SJ on the #55 last, right? Those in British tan?

Waxed Red Dog Rough Out is pure sex!!! It looks like RD Smooth but with a hyper nice texture!!!
Pics will follow.

Bretro, you got it! Color is off due to the instagram filter, however…

[Bretro_]

I got you, homie

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Many of us love custom made things.

I would like to share this with you guys.

[EastWest]

After months of lurking, here's my first pair of white's. It's not a custom boot - I had to get a stock pair on very short notice so I could have them shipped to my hotel during the week I spent in Vegas for the CES. That way I got around the enormous customs fees and shipping costs that would apply if I bought them directly from Germany.
