Just throwing this out there, if anyone has a 9D in Brown Oil, and would like to trade for an 8.5D in Brown Oil send me a PM. Thanks

A few fit pics in my newly acquired Whites boots. Cheers @Friday 
I will, obviously, wear trousers / jeans with my Whites boots 

Where did you get the false tongues from? those look different than the usual White's ones.

If you do go with the false tongues, at least make sure to flip them over to the rough out side so that they match the leather of the boot.

@Bobos:

You think these are good, try nicks. Better then whites and wesco

Please look how the hooks on your Nicks are attached, then look how WESCO attach their hooks. Details like that makes WESCO my favorite boot-brand at the moment
If you don't like the look, that's fine, but quality wise is WESCO top notch.

I'm genuinely curious. How do wesco attach their hooks?

MP Packer fans/owners out there?? I'm completely obsessed with this boot at the moment; especially now that its available outside of JP and they are offering some new leather options.

Here's what I'm considering: 7" height featuring their new brown pull up, single unstained midsole, 269 outsole, subtle but contrast stitching on uppers (eg olive drab), and brass eyelets and hooks…. Basically, a brown Flightmaster

I'm actually considering almost the exact same build except I'm thinking about going with 6" height and brown stitching. Where did you hear that they are offering the MP toe on the packers?

Here is a standard western toe packer that I found on a Russian site while browsing GIS. This one looks like it is 5" in height.

looks good, how did you get the scuffs out of the vamp?

I got confused on the size of the shoe because of the extra hook, most 6" bounty hunters have 3 hooks, but yours has 4. Probably because you have huge feet.

are those bullhide?

Bluegrass, are those 1/4 lowered heels? also what made you choose 8" instead of 6"? Congrats, they are nice.

@Megatron1505:

Thanks guys, and no the heel is standard.

But double midsole, right?

I want to do the inverse of yours, with the roughout on the toe and black cxl on the uppers, like the SD's pictured on p. 145 of this thread.

Never thought about the toe-cap, though; do they make toe caps in roughout leather? Can't recall if I've ever seen one.
