There are a couple new White's collaborations that went on sale just this week.

Rose Anvil x White's Drifter 3 is made with a new Seidel latigo leather called blood core which is basically a black teacore that's red underneath rather than natural. Other than that, it's basically a 10 inch Smokejumper with the Vibram 430 mini lug versus the V100.

Stitchdown x White's Pickett boot is an 8 inch packer boot on the 5050 last with Horween black waxed flesh uppers/shaft and Horween black Chromexcel horsehide lowers (vamp and heel counter) and Vibram 430 outsole.

I need more boots like I need another hole in my head, but I splurged on the Drifter 3 because I don't have a lot of black boots and dig the new leather. Also the first 250 orders were supposed to be shipped within 4 to 6 weeks, so not as long a lead time as some others, like the Stitchdown collab lead time is about 6 months, my last order through Baker's was 4 months.

Really digging the Stitchdown makeup, but like you, no need for more holes in the head nor boots (especially black ones).

What leather is that? Very cool look!

It's CF Stead cognac Rambler leather. I think Baker's has a few ready made boots in the same leather (and the stone color Rambler) available in their store and website. These were a custom build through Baker's though. If you wait until Black Friday, both White's and Baker's typically offer a 20% off sale. When I've ordered during sales, the 20% discount has only been off the base price with no discount on the customizations like special leathers, added features like toe cap, pull loops, etcetera.

Anyone's Bakers Father's Day Sale boots landed yet?
Men showed up end of October. 8 inch black horsehide with antique eyes and hooks, vibran v-bar 1/2 sole. The fit is perfect and there was almost zero break in. One minor “white’s bite” on my right inner ankle, but manipulating the tongue largely did away with that.

I've had this on multiple pairs. I've been told it's not an issue, but I returned them all. Didn't sit right with me for the price of a pair.
