      How are White's defining production line? My interpretation is that they would be duplicating their cutting to welting to finishing process of the workshop rather than a literal factory-style conveyor belt but I could be wrong.

      Surely ABC-Mart have a good enough grasp of the Japanese market to know that one of the principal selling points (beyond durability) of White's is that they are hand-made in the US?

        Sugar Mountain, that's how I read the article as well. I guess this is all over-speculation and maybe we're all reading to deep into things; time will ultimately tell! 🙂

          What would be the point of these message boards if not for a little over-speculation and reading too deeply into things?

                  Even if you did double post, boots like these deserve it. Just beautiful.

                      Aho are your LtTs also on the SJ last? they look a bit less square than the plain toes.  Just curious if you did those in a SD/Bounty Hunter.  And are both hard toes (celastic)?

                        Maybe they are just non celastic???

                          Might just be the angle but I see what you're saying…They are SJ last (I don't believe you can do LTT on non-SJ lasts?) and both are soft toe.

                          A while back someone asked for a side shot of this pair...sorry it took me forever!:

                              Bounty Hunters after about 40 or 50 wears.  I love 'em…

                                Boots look great. They blue?
                                Any particular reason u left in the kiltie but cut the frayed end off?

                                  Thanks.  They are black CXL – they do look a little bluish in the pic, but less so in real life.

                                  I liked the way the tongue protectors made them fit around the instep, but didn't like the kiltie part so I cut them off with a pair of scissors!  I also cut back some of the bellows tongue on each side so that they are now essentially semi-attached as an SD would be.  It solved my ankle rubbing problems immediately and made the boots so much more pleasant to wear...

                                        @AndyO, any chance you could do a top down shot of the Swing last?  They look good..
