White's Boots

[TH3515]

@aho:

I seem to recall someone owning a pair of Hathorn's…Can anyone comment on sizing vs. the White's line? Wondering if I can get away with the same size...

I have a pair of Hathorn Smokejumpers and a pair of White's Farmer/Ranchers. I expected the Hathorns (which I bought later) to be identical wrt sizing but that is only half true. My Hathorn SJ are much roomier (wider, but not longer) than the F/R. For me , it's OK because I got the Hathorn as a winter/bad weather boot. The F/Rs fit wonderfully precise with thin wool socks, whereas the Hathorn SJs need thick Smartwool socks and still have more heel slip than the FRs.
Don't know about the other lasts…

^ Different lasts, are the boots tagged as the same width?

[TH3515]

^12.5D in both pairs. Standard SJ last on the F/R, no idea on the Hathorn - it's a plain Hathorn, type 110V.

Thanks TH3515! I was intending on getting the Hathorn's for winter/crap weather boots as well but might just get some Bean Boots depending on the final bid price…We shall see!

Sure wish these were my size - on eBay - black buffalo.  Very handsome boots.

@Chris:

Wonderful boots.. Is that Horse Hide? Any more pictures?

[Chris]

Good eye- yes, they are horse hide.  As for pictures, I think the only other one I have is this one

Suppose I could try to take some additional ones and post them in the next few days…

[Megatron1505]

Quite a trio you got there Chris, as much boot as a man could want.

[Chris]

Almost- I'm still thinking about a pair of Tricker's for those days when I want to feel pretty.

^I do feel pretty today in my black calf stow boots! lol

[Chris]

I like cap toes more than wingtips, so I'm thinking Eaton, not Stow.  And not black, but some shade of brown- perhaps 1001.

[tigerpac]

I've got acorn as well, cool color, really bright but works in the rotation

Eatons are awesome, you'll like them a lot.

I tried on some Stow boots when I was in London last year, and they were too narrow. I could special order a pair for 500 quid or something obscene like that.

these are white's horsehide semi dress. worn frequently though not daily.

Nice boots louisbosco! The HH really looks well loved.

[Bluegrass]

Yes the hh looks great with a bit of wear.  Solid pair of boots!

[louisbosco]

thanks guys. they've progressed really well. they've literally been through most weather conditions. snow, rain, mud and normal day wear..

[mowgli222]

Nice boots @louisbosco I have an order of the SD in Brown HH without the captoe. Cannot wait to get them and start wearing them.

I'm thinking of buying a pair of these http://www.eastwestapparel.co.uk/Whites-Boots/semi-dress-british-tan
Has anyone used this shop before? Also how do they size up?
Thanks in advance
