Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts? - Page 89

Just curious, any thoughts (or pics) from you guys on comparing Burgundy CXL to Brown CXL (and maybe throwing in Classic Brown or Brown Horsehide)?  I've seen several pics, but colors and textures often appear hard to capture and differ quite a bit in various pics.  Any preferences?

If you just want to see what the leather looks like, Rancourt & Co's website has lots of pictures of #8 CXL and brown CXL

my red dog rough outs at the 5-6 month mark

Just black roughout with tan bull upper bounty hunter. Is everybody who placed an ordered back in November still waiting like I am?

Weird... I ordered 12/21

Did you order an Semi-Dress, Smoke Jumper, or what?

My order from October took about 15 weeks. Something totally slammed them in addition to the usual Holiday vacations, but I'm not sure what.

Bingham, can you share the exact way you ordered the sole, midsole and heel on this boot? It's exactly what I want on my first pair. 

Awesome all-around build man.

Here are my boots w/ the half slip for reference:

I am still interested in hearing people's opinions on Burgundy CXL vs Brown CXL vs Natural CXL, but here's another question as I work out my specs:

Can those of you who have worn both the 55 (Semi-dress) Last and the 461 (sprung toe) Last comment on how they compare with regard to arch and foot support?  I want the support, but I also like the sprung toe look, so want to make sure I would get the former with the latter.

Thanks.
