White's Boots
-
I think most Whites are custom
-
Not all, there are "stockists and retailers", but you can go the custom route either through Whites or Bakers. Oddly, Bakers have more options for their boots than Whites do :-\

Im not surprised in the least to be honest. It seems that if you build kick ass stuff, its a prerequisite to have an out dated web site, LOL. White's web site is like a time machine back to the beginning of the internet. But they build great boots, not flash websites right? I just passed 4 weeks for my order. Im hoping to have them a bit broken in by the time i go to Chicago at the beginning of June. Gonna try and scam a Horween factory tour while Im there. Fingers crossed.

Oh yeah! That would be awesome! You'll probably smell like top-shelf leather for weeks after going in there!

It certainly did, and mine didn't get stuck anywhere. They arrived 4 days after I got notification.

Ta. Meh. Patience.

Holy fucking shit snacks, USPS tracking is doing my head in - my boots appear to have taken up residency in San Francisco.
Definitely not a bad place for them to be. Although, safety is definitely a concern. Jk, I am sure they will be in NY soon. What size are you again?

It's gonna be a long 8 weeks…

Nice build.

Ahh, for some reason horse hide isn't available from white's or buildaboot but is on bakershoe. Thanks!
I'm looking at an identical build and was ready to press the button when I stumbled across these beauties and now I can't decide if I want a toecap or not. Decisions, decisions.

quite disturb with whats happening to my lw engineers with cxl leather
see the "maps" starting to come out form the leather? i just thought its just caked oil and dirt
but after cleaning it its till there
cracks
more crease crack
more mappings
applied neatsfoot " horween sys that cxl methid uses neatsfoot on its last coating thats why it being really oily so its best to use neatsfoot on cxl leathers
