Beautiful. When did you order them? How many weeks did you wait before they were delivered?

I ordered them toward the end of December -- so they took about a month and a half.

Wow that horsehide looks nice. Any pics w/o flash?

Hmmm, so I guess they don't necessarily make them in the order received. I ordered mine through Baker's on December 9th and am still waiting.

Bl@ster those look fantastic!! That brown horsehide is a gorgeous option. Can't wait to see what they look like in 6-12 months. They look like they'll age wonderfully. Great choice and thanks for sharing. It's the first pair of HH I've seen. Very impressive.

Mine were put forth to the factory on Dec 12th and I received them on Jan 26th. I'd contact Bakers and get status.

The original estimate was 5 to 7 weeks. I called at 7 and was told that orders around Christmas can add 2 to 3 more weeks = possibly 10 weeks total. I'm not mad, it's just hard to wait for something as exciting as White's SD.

I requested the Vibram 705 split sole, and will post a pic for Aquaphor when they come in.

As long as they're still aware of the order, I guess you're okay. If you haven't, try to get a hold of Kyle from Baker's. He was really helpful with my order.

bl@ster thanks for the great pics - much appreciated. I'm thinking about taking a trip to Spokane in the next couple months, I will try to grab some pics of the store/factory (I think they do tours...) and share on here if it works out.

bl@ster · Feb 10, 2012

gd1944: Great looking makeup. Congrats!

herrmj: Glad you liked them. I really want to go on that White's tour too. I'm in Seattle as well but it's a long road trip. Please do share the photos.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Depends on fabric
