JCM, what is that, harvest or red dog roughout? Love it.  Congrats!  Is that a smooth red leather tongue?

Aho, here are 3 lasts compared… bottom SJ, left is BH/SD, right is SD C641 (upturn toe).

Hey Bluegrass, it´s the Red Dog Rought Out The Harvest Rough Out is a little thinner, so I choose the Red Dog, because they gonna be my new Winter shitkickers. That is the reason why I wanna wax em at the weekend. And Yes, it´s a Red Dog Smooth tongue
Like your love for blue laces!

Very nice Boots J.!…good choice and fast delivery it was.

Enjoy ya addiction!

Gorgeous boots JCM, congrats on a fine pair!

[Bluegrass]

Funny, you never really know what they will look like until you open that box - I've seen other pics of red dog roughout that look quite different - and I would not have guessed that the various roughout leathers were different thicknesses - although I have heard that desert storm roughout has to be sold with a liner. Love that pop of color from the red tongue.

Reds look nice. Def more pale then i would have expected but i am excited to see em waxed. Get on it and post some pics!

[JCMx800]

Thanks for the kind words!
pP, I applied some Obenaufs LP on a not-so-visible area and it looks great so far!

[Bluegrass]

notice how red these look!  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151292922575549&set=pb.198093005548.-2207520000.1390329856.&type=3&theater

My pair looks similar, but my old digicam has a crappy flash.
I like the variations in the leather

[Bluegrass]

Agree. These are not mass-produced.

@JCMx800:

Nice boots JCMx800! That red dog rough-out looks superb! The red tongue, red line by the welt and natural edge make for beautiful details. Good taste sir.

Bluegrass, thank you for the writeup and comparison pic! Lovely collection as well…

[4c]

They’re here!

[Bluegrass]

My favorite part of the forum is by far… pictures!  Those are awesome!  I can see you are jumping right into the dirt and breaking them in... remind us what the two leathers are??

[Bluegrass]

Wow, that looks great with the thick leather.  They kind of looked two-toned in the first pic on your feet.

Any pics of a build close to this? #55 last, soft toe, standard heel, single midsole, 269 outsoles

I'm debating the heel specs for some boondocker inspired BHs in distressed RO; to either go with a lowered standard heel with 269 soles or lowered with 700 or 430 soles. I thought for sure I'd want the lowered with 430 ala Bluegrass or Hollows, but my recently aquired SDs with double leather soles on the standar heel got me thinking differently. Haven't seen many pics out there (if any!) of the standard heel with a soft toe.

Ok I'm done typing

Bretro - maybe these (posted by 4c) have a standard heel height w/ 700 sole… hard to tell.

[Bretro_]

Cheers man- perfect! Also kinda reinforces my thought that the soft toe on a standard heel would look like a packer boot. Whatcha think?

[aho]

Alright, got my build ready, but can anyone help confirm the last (standard?) and if the heel is lowered (quarter inch?)? Spoke with Kyle and we both took a guess:

Smoke Jumper: Same build as this pair on Warehouse http://store.whw.jp/?pid=41993162
Sole: Vibram 700
Hardware: All Brass Eyes
Height: 6"
Lace Design: Plain Toe
Top: Rolled Top
Midsole: Single
Size - Width: E
Leather Liner: No Thanks
Last: Standard
Upper (Shaft) Leather: Black Dress
Toe Vamp Leather: Black Dress
Toe Cap Leather Color: Does not apply
Celastic Toe Box: Single Celastic Toe
Edge: Brown
Steel Toe: No Thanks
Toe Cap: No Thanks
Counter Leather: Black Smooth

Since WH has another Smoke Jumper, specifically on the Semi Dress last, my guess is that these are standard Smoke Jumpers but with a lowered heel, single midsole and celastic toe which give it a slimmer yet bulbous look.

Thanks!
