Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
A few! Nothing worth updating about though. Switched positions at my job, so I've been busy as hell and have not even gone to the grocery store! It's pretty much been slip-on Vans for weeks :D- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
From this point it's going to be Venetian Shoe Cream as they continue to patina. I am going to spot-test Cobbler's Choice on the tongues as it doesn't matter to me if those end up darker/muted. Cobbler's Choice is barely more conditioning than VSC, but it has a little beeswax which may be good...- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
About 14 hours in the sun over 2 days for these Veg Tan MP's. I think they are just about where I want them to be, what do ya'll think?- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
Yeah, all great points. I've been thinking quite a bit about how to handle the conditioning. I've also been testing on a nat veg tan belt that is definitely wax-treated, and I don't think the leather on my boots will be as waxy out of the box, so I stripped the wax on the belt with some saddle...- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
I know it. I'll be grabbing some initial out of the box pics, and then let them get a nice sun-tan to "caramelize" them up a bit! From speaking with Kyle I am assuming they will be something like a midweight leather, like the CXL hides that Bakers tends to have, with properties akin to their...- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
I did not order those, but I may be guilty of spurring Kyle to post those! Two days ago I inquired about Nat Veg Tan being an option, and he said he actually had enough left for another pair. So after the normal email exchange he sent me photos of these boots. I just ordered a pair of MP's in...- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
In late April when I ordered, build time was 5.5 weeks, which is the standard summer build time I believe (I had MP's built last year during late summer with the exact same timeframe). They are indeed soft toe, I really like how sleek the toe profile looks on the MP, especially after it has...- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
Hey all, I received this pair a few months ago but did not get a chance to wear them immediately. I asked nicely for an unlisted leather, Navy CXL, and Kyle at Baker's was able to oblige! Or get White's to oblige... Pictured below with natural lighting from a window, inside my home. Blue and...- ZenSilk

**Edit** Looks like you got it covered while I was posting! For sure, sorry to come across in a negative way, sometimes random stuff can result in flaming and I wanted to get inb4 that (possibly) occurred. The Devil Causeways are going to be built on a last very similar to red wings, I...- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to inquire as to sizing of other brands (not chastising!). I think you should reach out to the peeps at Standard and Strange, they work very closely with Lofgren himself and offer fantastic sizing advice and will work hard to get you into a pair that...- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
My thoughts on White's lasts and boot profiles... The toe on the MP is also going to play a part in the top-down silhouette of the boot/last. A structured toe is going to look less narrow, maybe even less pointy for lack of a better word, than an unstructured toe. Same goes for a cap toe vs...- ZenSilk

Are you my instagram feed? Good Art, Pigeon Tree, Vanson, Bakers/White's and all black everything with brass accents?! How 'bout some Ship John, Langlitz Leathers, Vemödalen boots and Butterscotch LBC! Serious talk: I wonder if the single celastic toe + toe cap is opening up the toe, or...- ZenSilk

Dang, that's too bad! You've probably already reached out to them, they are a pleasure to work with. I do hope you are still post a picture of this makeup despite the toe issue, I have been leaning towards this exact build without the cap toe for a minute and would love to get preview.- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
I was also not expecting them to come out so cleanly! Of course, time will tell if this was a good decision, but if the toe collapses like some old WW2 Boondockers I won't be complaining... White's and Baker's did a bang up job! I probably should have noted (or should edit my post) to include...- ZenSilk

Custom White's Boots ... Thoughts?
I received a pair of MP's recently from Baker's. They greatly exceed my expectations. The silhouette, shape, and construction as well as the overall aesthetic are exactly what I didn't know I was getting or wanted. Kyle was just the absolute best throughout the process, answering all of my...- ZenSilk

If you send your tracings in to Kyle and Baker Boot he would let you know if he thinks there would be an issue with the Arch-Ease. I am on the 5th week of waiting on a Black Dress MP build currently, I was in the exact same boat as you trying to decide what I wanted between not being able to get...- ZenSilk
