Does anyone have experience with the Vaquero bullhide leather? Whitesriver has a pair in vaquero/black cxl on eBay in my size for a good price. Thinking of pulling the trigger.

What do you want to know?

I love the leather and was very happy I could have a pair made in Vaquero.

Too bad these were a one off. I wish White's would carry Olive CXL

Just like that? With a mere decree?
@sambam Could you use that same benevolent omnipotence to "OK" Horsehide for the Smokejumper as well as all waxed flesh for the SD (along with Danite soles)... I mean you are all powerful at White's, are you not? ;)
All waxed flesh has been available for all Whites products from engineer to semi dress. Working on the dainite option. It's a slower heeling process. It would slow my factory flow. But once we have the correctly designed heel base it will be available.

I just ok'd the MP in all of our oil leathers. Black, brown, red dog and distress. Smooth and rough out. Hope that helps.
Sound great! How much will I have to pay for distressed smooth MPs?

Those photos make me hate myself for not going WF. Damn those look good.

I know you hate cxl and all, but are you aware waxed flesh is almost the same leather? Waxed flesh is cxl leather but with the roughout side waxed instead of the smooth side. A bit of sanding and a can of wax could get you what you desire. ;)

@sambam -

Bourbon/Whiskey Shell.

What can we do to source some of this for a small run of SD’s with toe cap? I have no doubt there is enough of us here who would pay up for a pre-order if that’s what it takes.

That’s my #1 grail boot.
