That natural chromexcel is fantastic. I was not in love at first but it grew on me. I'd love a pair of SD in that but it'd have to wait some.

[erk]

if this natural chromexcel was available in january I probably would have gotten that. but if I ever get a pair of smokejumpers, I do believe i'd go for it.

What's the toe option right there? It looks very flat and 'dressy'.

any top view comparison between the SD, classic work boots, SJ, BH?

[denimjunky]

Wow! Natural chrome excel is an interesting prospect for sure.

Also to get a possible order through you with CXL #8 or even HH would be even more exiting and also perforated toe cap! Sucks that this is limited to only japan. I dont get it. Did white's think they could sell more there than the entire USA and europe all together?

[Quack_Attack]

That is a classic work boot (461 last) with the upturned toe. The reason the toe looks dressy is because there is NO celastic toe.

so, after thinking long and hard about my needs in a boot, i decided not to get a pair of bounty hunters, and picked up a pair of brown chromexel alden indys. went to moulded shoe in nyc and was fitted and really loved them. liked the feel of the modified last indys, but they only had them in standard brown, and i wasn't sure i liked the look of the toe on that version. i'd like to see how a broken in pair would look.

highly recommend going in the moulded sole if you are in NYC. great guys, great shop.

Navy is coming soon!

To White's fans: we are considering bringing in Natural Chrome Excel into White's lineup of leathers. We need to get a pretty healthy opening order to make this happen. I just want to put some feelers in the market and see if people would be interested? This leather would be available on all styles including Smoke Jumpers (NW last, Bounty Hunter, Standard) Semi Dress and Oxfords.

Please respond to this post or email me direct:

Very interested in both the navy and natural CXL mate!!!

My wife surprised me with them. They were supposed to be a father's day present, but a funny set of circumstances forced her to reveal them, ha!

White's new "Classic Worker", black chromexcel....

Fantastic riff!

It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that they DO sell more to Japan than the USA and Europe combined.

^Is this the case with Red Wing? I remember reading a ridiculous statistic a while back, but I can't find it now.

Your'e probably right. Darn.

Pure Sexiness Riff!!!!

thank you for giving us a better peak at the action..

these are sooooooo nice~

your lady took good care of her man, she knows his style~

question:

i believe it is built on a different last then other Whites,

so comparing them to your others...

is the classic worker boot a smaller profile or different toe-box then the SJ or SD??

dose the last feel different?

[pepper davies]

Anyone on here have any experience with the bullhide from Whites? Looks really interesting.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Nice boots, riff. Again. Still need to recharge...

Fixed for you. Nice work!

@ ADH: From what I gather their bullhide is slightly thinner than full-grain 6 to 8 oz. But yeah, texture looks amazing!

@ davichan: I think they call it the classic last - the boot is apparently a re-make of the farmer-rancher.

[CrashTestBrummie]

Fixed for you. Nice work!

Aha, cheers! I'm using a mate's laptop at the moment as mine went tits-up the other day, and it's not letting me use this site properly...

Those are the Lotus after a coat of dubbin last night, and without polish. Should have some more veldtschoen pics to share later this week...

one year anniversary of my indy boots

pardon the wrinkled tee, its laundry day

[CrashTestBrummie]

Indys look sweet, in fact the whole get-up looks on point...

C&J ebay purchase by any chance?

[CrashTestBrummie]

C&J ebay purchase by any chance?

Nope, although I was watching both of those auctions, if you mean the American seller who was flogging the MTO Islay and Coniston. Both lovely pairs of boots, and damn strange that they both went for exactly the same price...my size, too.

I recycled a few pairs the other day, and used some of the cash to win a pair of Wetherbys, some previously unseen Tricker's Veldtschoen boots, and an old pair of Tecnic veldt shoes.

All for 150, kinda makes up for the Blues getting relegated today...

[Paul T]

Tricker's vledtschoen?

Envy is something I try not to indulge in but... grrrnnnhmmmnnnn

[CrashTestBrummie]

Tut, I did send you the link, Paul!

Dunno what they'll be like, wasn't able to get any more pics...

[Paul T]

Ben, what can I say, I'm slipping.

You are the veldtschoen kingl

[CrashTestBrummie]

Pfft, luck of the draw when it comes to eBay

Check the link I sent you this evening...

I'll see you in the Championship

[CrashTestBrummie]

I feel your pain. New boots dull it only slightly...

[dkatz]

From Rogue Territory's blog. No info, but looking pretty damn good with age, by my estimation.

The jeans have a bit too small of a leg opening for boots, though.

[denimjunky]

Pure awesomeness.

[fre-co]

I'm going to say they look 'distressed'.

[dkatz]

You may be right they started out a bit "distressed", but I think they've lived a lot of life since then. look at how they are now distressed and faded along the wrinkles of the leather. I suspect those wrinkles would be particular and unique to how the wearer wears them.
