Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?

[linafelt]

There is a huge difference. But few no what the construction differences are and what it looks like on the inside. This is the key. The whites will not break down through the shank.

Absolutely. Much better construction. I was thinking mainly in terms of style. Though for casual wear RWs tend to hold up pretty well it seems.

Great boot lineup, Legal Eagles!
Always good to see some #38 boots side by side with 55 last builds. I am waiting for my first #38 pair in bullhide which I hope will be heading my way sometime in January...

If you want to see what happens to a fashion boot pretending to be a work boot, check this out. The board was pretty hard on the guy, but I submit White's would have held up... the pictures are telling... compare what holds the upper to the lower with even a top of the line Redwing vs Whites... and you will soon realize there really is no comparison...

I guess that was more for the general forum. I have figured out that you guys on the Whites forum do know your stuff. That's why you wear Whites. With my new designs I am building as much Whites as I can into them. Thanks for informing the general public on the brand. Much appreciated. MP and chukka.

Trying to keep you guys in business... I do admit I committed adultery in my heart with those Wesco foot patrols...

I am a sucker when it comes to horsehide, and they had burgundy... forgive me sambam, for I have sinned...

If I were to order Whit's boots from Baker shoes, there isn't an option for the MP service boots w/o toe cap nor the option for a cordovan in black shell. I would like to know what thw options are unless the black shell cordovan sambam posted earlier is a complete custom built boot. Price wise, whats the mark up for the different type of leather? Thanks!

P.S. 1st post here and am considering the MP Service for purchase within the next few months any all help and tips will be very appreciated

I’d just contact Kyle at Bakers and tell him what you’re looking for. He’ll let you know if it’s possible and give you a price quote.

Shell will always be about 50% more expensive than the other basic leather options.

I see. Thank you YTH! That makes it a bit easier and straight forward

MP 365 Black Shell Cordovan. We have 10 colors of leather you can pick on the MP's and two different builds. Plus the 3 cordovans.

 

[Rolanberry]

I hope you've had many orders for your Cordovan builds.

To my understanding from left to right its brown chromexcel, brown dress and natural waxed flesh is that right?

I saw the photo you posted on page 623 as well, really nice line up! Lemme quote that as well.

Heading to the Footwear News platform show next week in Vegas. Here are the MP samples. Will have chukka pics in a few days.
