        That's what happens with "collabs."

        I put it up for people who don't like to wait and can afford not to.

          Good point on the collab.  Although I personally would not go for a collab if it didnt offer anything different or unique.  Those are just run of the mill While's with a brand stamped on the insole.  Awesome boots, nonetheless, but I dont see the value in $200 mark up.  But, if you would have asked me at week 3 if I would want to pay an extra $200 to get them in a few days, I might have been singing a different song

                        No problem.

                        Leathers

                        Ed will tell you to avoid chromexcel, and it does mark and scuff easier than most other leathers to be honest. I have oxfords in chromexcel and SDs in dress, of the two I would go for dress leather as it is much harder wearing and evolves beautifully.

                        The exotic leathers are really a matter of your personal taste, but be warned that water buffalo is very thin and can split.

                        Sole/ midsole

                        A double midsole will obviously give you a little more height, but can look a little "clunky". A leather sole is very popular, but can be not practical if you live somewhere wet, like me. I favour a vibram half sole, and a single leather midsole for versatility.

                        Style of boot is entirely down to personal preference, along with colour etc….

                              and by the way, what leathers would you suggest? are the brown dress & smooth good enough?

                                Brown dress is great, but it is almost black. I've not got any experience of their smooth leather, Ed (Demonito) is the man for that.

                                  I second brown dress. It is awesome and it looks almost black. I have brown dress sd with single leather sole.

                                    hi guys do you have images? the computer generated ones on buildaboot really give me no idea how the boots will look like in person

                                        oh my, this is brown dress? it looks totally black! or is it dyed black over brown so that it'll age nicely into brown?

                                          No idea how they do it but it looks brilliant. The color is pretty close
