French calf but a bit fussier and thinner. But patina is the payoff
Definitely has more of a sheen, but to me that's a good thing. I absolutely love my brown dress SDs, if I was looking a burgundy casual boot (eg SDs) I'd go French calf. But that's just a personal preference.
No, but it's similar in that they're both dress leathers. The cxl that whites uses is absolutely great stuff, don't get me wrong. Pretty different in terms of look and how theyll wear though. Id say if you want a more casual look the cxl would be the way to go; if you want a bit more refined (i hesitate to say "dressy" but you know what i mean) look go French calf. Just google image search the **** out of both
Sounds like you got it squared away. If youre anything like me the fun is in the planning
As for the difference in height from 6" to 5"; there is definitely less ankle support, but I find my SDs to be much more comfortable to wear for that reason. More comfortable to wear sitting at my office desk
So, Vern at Bakers sent me a couple pics of my boots.
Apparently they're not as obsessive about taking pics as I am.
Anyway, here they are, what does the hive say?
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, the build is:They look great! Very cool. Remind us what the build is...?
Also, how long since you ordered? I put my order in for black HH on January 31st, still no word.
