    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Hey folks, does anyone have any experience buying from ebay seller rustic_gear? Looking to pick up a briefcase, and I'm wondering a) if the seller is reputable and b) if the items sold are first quality, not seconds and / or defective, etc. Thanks!

    White's Bounty Hunter Size 12D New With Box

    Recently, I ordered a pair of White's Bounty Hunter from Baker's, and mistakenly selected a celastic toe box, when I meant to order an unstructured toe. I didn't catch my error in time and, unfortunately, when the boots arrived, I found that a celastic toe doesn't work with my foot shape, and...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Recently, I ordered a pair of Bounty Hunters through Baker's. 2 months later, the boots arrived. The boots fit well, save for some heel slippage (which Baker's offered to correct with a heel clamp, also noting they would sand down the heel shelf, per my original request.) However, in looking...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Thanks for your help, chicken! Kyle sent a 12D Smokejumper for me to try on, which was too narrow along the toes, but great in length, whereas the 12D Amazon SD felt much better in width, if just a tad longer in length. Nevertheless, I think a D width in the SD last is going to work.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Thanks guys. I asked because I thought I remembered someone commenting on those numbers having some relation to the specific last the boot / shoe was built on, but perhaps I was mistaken. In any event, I'm still curious what last the Americana SD in CXL (the make-up sold by amazon) is built...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    The SDs I tried on in black CXL had 314 stamped on the inside cuff of the boot. Dumb question perhaps, but for those in the know, does that indicate the SD last? or is that a different last altogether?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    tmchow, what does Baker's charge for the slightly tapered heel and heel clamp? rbarthel, the pair of CXL SDs I received from Online Retailer were lined through the vamp, with unlined upper.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    The CXL Americana Semi-Dress sold by Amazon has a leather-lined vamp, with unlined quarter. Is this a stock feature of White's, or a custom make-up unique to that boot? Does adding a leather lining in Baker's Build-a-Boot simply extend this lining through the quarter? Also, an Amazon user...

    The Original Chippewa Heritage Boot Line

    Man, I wanted to love this line. As it is, I think Chippewa's QC department leaves much to be desired, and I would advise anyone considering these boots to inspect them carefully prior to use. I've seen at least a half dozen pairs of the Service boots, and all have had significant flaws in...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    I seem to remember AE doing a storewide sale in the fall in years past--Rediscover, or Anniversary, I think. Am I dreaming, or have one or both of these sales already happened this year?

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Morgenholz, 1/4 size in width, length, or both? Despite other comments, which are much appreciated, I'm still unsure if I should stick with the measured D, go up to E in Semi Dress, or if I should just go swing last in the Bounty Hunter. 12D in the Smoke Jumper definitely bites along the little...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Apologies for the sizing question, but I thought I'd get a second opinion. I recently sent my tracings in to Kyle at Baker's, who had me try a 12D Smoke Jumper for fit. The length is good, and from heel to ball, the boots fit better than anything I've ever worn, as though my feet are bandaged...

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    Red Wing makes great work boots, but I can't wear a pair of their Heritage line more than a year without the leather insole cracking and going to ****. I'm considering White's for the obvious reasons, but mostly because they're rebuildable.

    Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

    White's would easily be a week's pay for me. But after blowing out Iron Rangers in a year, and finding Chippewa's QC to be dogshit, I'm seriously considering going White's custom in the near future. Someone help me justify trading a week in Someplace Else for a pair of boots bought sight...
