White's Boots

[Bluegrass]

Aho are your LtTs also on the SJ last? they look a bit less square than the plain toes.  Just curious if you did those in a SD/Bounty Hunter.  And are both hard toes (celastic)?

[JCMx800]

Maybe they are just non celastic???

[aho]

Might just be the angle but I see what you're saying…They are SJ last (I don't believe you can do LTT on non-SJ lasts?) and both are soft toe.

A while back someone asked for a side shot of this pair...sorry it took me forever!:

Good golly, I wish I had some British tan in my collection!

Bounty Hunters after about 40 or 50 wears.  I love 'em…

Boots look great. They blue?
Any particular reason u left in the kiltie but cut the frayed end off?

Thanks.  They are black CXL – they do look a little bluish in the pic, but less so in real life.

I liked the way the tongue protectors made them fit around the instep, but didn't like the kiltie part so I cut them off with a pair of scissors!  I also cut back some of the bellows tongue on each side so that they are now essentially semi-attached as an SD would be.  It solved my ankle rubbing problems immediately and made the boots so much more pleasant to wear...

A couple of recent White's acquisitions.

Bullhide SD on standard last.

Brown Horsehide SD on #38 swing last.

Nice - esp. love those 2-tones!

@AndyO, any chance you could do a top down shot of the Swing last?  They look good..

I'll get a photo in daylight tomorrow, showing the boots in comparison from above.

Few days in and I'm loving my sienna water buffalos, double leather sole.

Cheers @davito, as always your style is flawless too!

I seem to recall someone owning a pair of Hathorn's…Can anyone comment on sizing vs. the White's line? Wondering if I can get away with the same size...

[Megatron1505]

I owned some Hathorns, sizing is identical.

[Megatron1505]

I was going to sell my Bounty Hunters but have decided to keep them and try to beat them into submission some more, failing that I'll just have them relasted.

[aho]

Thanks mega! Also glad to hear you're keeping the BH's!

I have a pair of Hathorn Smokejumpers and a pair of White's Farmer/Ranchers. I expected the Hathorns (which I bought later) to be identical wrt sizing but that is only half true. My Hathorn SJ are much roomier (wider, but not longer) than the F/R. For me , it's OK because I got the Hathorn as a winter/bad weather boot. The F/Rs fit wonderfully precise with thin wool socks, whereas the Hathorn SJs need thick Smartwool socks and still have more heel slip than the FRs.
Don't know about the other lasts…
