Nothing wrong with the Midlands !

 

I found it amusing that South Holland was quite adamant it didn’t want to be part of Europe - but Lincoln Cathedral is impressive, I’ll give you that ...

If you consider Scotland to be part of northern England then yes, geography was never my strongest suit..

I consider Englandshire to be the nether region of Scotland

Doing the math while [DUI] on gummies:rolleyes: ... a pair of DarnTough medium cushion crew only cost 6¢/wk ... e.i., @$30 for 10yrs ... but, I usually do my purchase once a year, when they’re on discount ... so they even cost less:)

My oldest pairs are like 4.5 years old now, used for work, and getting real thin in the heel. I should probably send them back for new ones pretty soon. My newest pairs feel so much better and thicker.

It doesn't look to me like they've violated the warranty. They are not guaranteed to never wear out in your lifetime. If you support the brand, be sensible and support the brand.

"Our unconditional lifetime guarantee is simple and without strings or conditions. If our socks are not the most comfortable, durable and best fitting socks you have ever owned, return them for another pair."

I believe they are around 1350$; add 150$ if you want the super horsehide. Expect to wait two years before delivery though. In any case his boots are worth the wait and the $$$.
I'll be placing my deposit this summer.

Questing regarding White's boots dress leather. Does anyone know if the black dress is dyed through? I would like to make a bounty hunter in black dress but hope to achieve the same patina as with the brown dress.

I don't know for certain, but my guess is their black dress leather is dyed completely through to the core. I don't think they'd use a brown-core over-dyed-black type leather for their dress leather.

Yes, died through.

Role Club Underdogs

Got these about 2 years ago and I absolutely love them. 

Got the heel cap replaced a couple months ago and had the edges of the sole sanded down and asked Brian to give them a natural finish. 

Excuse the crappy pics, got in late from work and just had enough time to give these a clean.

Loving the true brown color of the leather poking through.

Thanks, will eventually go for dress brown then. Absolutely love the patina that leather gets over time.

@olmecasteve those are stunning. Hope to have a pair of underdogs too in two years!

did you get on his waitlist?

Good for him, bad for us having to wait, but definitely worth the wait. 

These are the most comfortable pair of boots I have.
