4c,

I am thinking of going with a hook at the top instead of an eyelet for my next pair. What do you think of having the hook? Does it snag on the cuffs of your jeans or anything?

Andy B.
The hooks seem realy sleek, snagging realy hasen't been an issue for me. I'd say get them because how well they tighten up for the ankles. But maybe this could be a problem with really tapered jeans?

Lovely! Downside is that CXL stretches, and loses their shape real fast too...-(
Thanks! Your boots were a huge inspiration for me. Yea, I have noticed too the CXL does seem to stretch in a bit, but so far it is welcome stretching.

I got my notice from Baker's on Friday, four weeks to the day after I placed the order, that my 6" brown bison bounty hunters were on the way. I'm not too far away, so they came in today. A handful of shots below.

Baker's nailed it on the widths -- B on the left and D on the right. This is the best fit I've ever had on my left foot.

Wow that bison is beautiful, the color, the grain.

I'm really happy with it. It has a little bit of a red tone that I didn't quite notice in pictures. I like that extra bit of warmth that adds. And I love the grain. Bison is kind of a weird leather, but that grain makes it one of my favorites.

They are beautiful! The White's logo just seems made for that leather! Andy B.

Thanks! Yeah, I don't have any worries on the tapered jeans. Maybe if I was quite a few years younger. :) Andy B.

Revrend,
Those boots are incredible. They are built up with a double mid sole and commando mini lug half?


So the wife is going to go with distressed smooth (for today) on her build up. It was down to that , brown oil tan, or brown horse hide. Does anyone have some pics of those with some age on them? I know there was some pics in this thread but from what i can remember they were all pretty new.

Cwmi, they are actually a single midsole and commando mini lug outsole.

Andy, I flirted with the idea of asking for them to be made without the logo for a second, but I love the way it came out on this leather. It looks a little different on each boot.
