    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Two quick questions: 1) Some restaurant fryer oil spilled on my Distressed smooth workboot. Can I use Dawn dish soap to clean this up before conditioning with Saphir? I also own "AE paste saddle soap", but I'm not sure that's what I need to remove this nasty oil. 2) Has there been any consensus...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I would agree, this is one of the leathers I didn't "get", but it's slowly growing on me. What's the denim?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    I haven't been following the HH discussions too closely... want to get my sizing perfect first. But you're saying natural (and burgundy) HH is available through somewhere like Bakers for Bounty Hunters?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    My final decision before ordering. Does the midsole in: natural darken to this brown after years of wear? - or - midsole in brown lighten to this after years of wear?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    No I haven't. Talking to Kyle, I could have a boot made on a combo last and keep my 11D heel, but add 1/4" or 1/2" to the ball area. (I would suppose this would correspond with an E or EE width boot in the ball area). On Dress brown: I've never liked this leather's appearance, maybe it has to...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    This photo has been posted a lot, but I think the owner on Reddit wasn't even sure of the leather. Is this really Brown Dress? It is so utterly fantastic. Also - Brass hardware, correct?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Hey, thanks for the detailed response. I just threw the boots on quick for the photos, so they're maybe a little looser than during wear but not much. I've laced these boots looser over time to help them be more comfortable to wear. Good info on the swing last. I prefer the aesthetics of...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Thinking about ordering a second pair of White's, and I would appreciate some feedback on how boots should fit. (Pics below - 9" BH, Distressed Smooth) Kyle and White's were in agreement with my tracings, both suggested 11D. While this has been pretty good, I feel that the sides of my feet...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Not to be dense, but these photos are of boots in dress brown, correct? Gorgeous boots. Any idea who owns them or additional pictures of the aging process?

    When is the Next Mr. Porter Sale?

    I'm looking at some blazers by Boglioli, Dries Van Noten. Does anybody know if these brands are included/excluded in their next sale?

    Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots - what's the dilly yo?

    Great looking boots, as always. Did you intentionally rub off your black toe polish?

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

    I would agree the initial picture looked too tight in the forearm. I have this problem and upgraded to 2-pleat which helped somewhat. (As did increasing the bicep and cuff each .25) As someone who has always been thin/skinny, this is a new feeling for me. And slightly concerning as I...

    First suit in NE Ohio, looking for OTR / MTM in Cleveland or Columbus

    Appreciate the replies. As of now, I'm planning on going with Cuffs when they have their spring sale. If for some reason that doesn't work out, then probably BB.

    First suit in NE Ohio, looking for OTR / MTM in Cleveland or Columbus

    Thank you for the replies. So far, I've stopped at one reputable local establishment and had a good talk with them. I could get a MTM Southwick Suit for $1,200 right now or the same for $900 next March during their sale. Of course alterations are included and a tailor is in house. At a...
