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 black laces included for comparison and to hopefully display the leather color. As always with Nay CXL, it looks really blue in certain lighting, and very dark blue in other lighting. I'll have some wear photos posted eventually.
Compared to CXL used in something like a Wolverine 1K this stuff from White's is much heavier and thicker! I know we always hear that, but it's clearly completely spot-on. I was not expecting the break-in period to last months, but, it has. I wear them 2-4 times a week and, despite the dog claw marks, they are still looking closer to fresh out the box than I had imagined they would! They will be great for fall & spring, maybe even non-snow days in winter!
