    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Are those 6 or 8 inch?

    New Aero Custom Half-Belt/"Selkirk" w-pics

    There is nothing quite like designing a leather jacket that is uniquely yours. Your jacket is incredible looking. I think you will be very happy with it for years, not just because of Aero's quality, but because the jacket is almost a part of you, a design you came up with that is exactly what...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    So I've been going back and looking over this thread. On page 26 and 27, gd1944 and IsaacRN have posted some very nice pics of Chromexel boots that I either missed when they were posted, or saw and forgot about because I wasn't thinking about chromexel boots at the time they were posted. But...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    I have thought about the brown smooth. I wondered if it would be dark brown enough. Maybe I'll ask Whites to send a sample. In the meantime, please post pics when you get them, I would love to see them.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Please do. Please photo them in both sunlight and artificial light if possible, and let me know if there is much red in the color. The chromexel sample Whites sent me is very brown, no red, but my chromexel Indy boots have a decent amount of red in them.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    So now I am in a quandry. I love my Whites in the British Tan, but wanted to order a second pair. I want a nice rich brown with a mini lug sole to wear in winter time, and began thinking the slightly taller Bounty Hunters would be better for a winter boot (taller just seems more wintery?). I...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    No screen grab, but here is a link to a photo of his character in this series. It doesn't show the boots, but you can imagine how they look with the rest of his outfit. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm698661632/tt1649574

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    So I've recently been watching the TV show "Justified" with Timothy Olyphant. During season 2, the character of Dickie Bennett (Jeremy Davies) appears to be wearing a pair of White's Semi dress, in standard brown with the cuban heel. I tried to look closely in any scene they are visible, and...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    I should point out I also own the Alden Indy boots in Chromexcel, and I think the leather is just as sturdy. Scuffs easily, but not weak.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Outsole is double leather, natural edges (I thought it was kind of funny that one layer of leather has a different color edge, but it doesn't bother me.) I've not treated them with anything, I worried that it would darken the leather. I have used some light brown shoe cream to cover some scuffs.

    Custom Aero halfbelt

    So, I know it's been a while. I've got some new shots of the halfbelt actually being worn. This jacket did spend some time this summer being worn on a motorcycle, and it still doesn't look broken in! I might need to wear it a little harder. I know I look a little uncomfortable in this pic...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    So a while ago I was asked to post a few more pics of the British tan. Now that I've had these for a bit, you can see how they are wearing. I've noticed the British tan picks up water spots easily that don't come out, mostly on the toe area. Some days I think this adds character and I like...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    I contacted Bakers a while ago to ask about ordering Bounty Hunters with a close trim, and they said it was no problem, but I don't know about the swing last. My Whites are British tan, and it is great. I also have a pair of Alden Indys in Chromexel brown, the 403's. They are a great color...

    Leather Motorcycle jacket recommendations

    I own a large cruiser style motorcycle. It is not a daily commuter, it is for pleasure rides around town, and on weekends (until the weather turned cold recently) some fellow riders and I would go for longer rides, ie, up a nearby canyon. Not a lot of heavy commuter traffic, but speeds...

    Leather Motorcycle jacket recommendations

    Thank you all for your input and suggestions, there are some fine jackets out there. The jacket I posted a link to does have a snap down collar, so no worries about it slapping the face. I currently have an Aero 50's halfbelt in the lighter weight flight jacket horsehide that I've worn while...

    Leather Motorcycle jacket recommendations

    So there is Langlitz, Vansons, Aero, and Schott. Who else makes a high quality, classic style, black motorcycle jacket? I am looking for this style: http://www.schottnyc.com/products/lifestyle/motorcycle/mens-classic-horsehide-racer-motorcycle.htm The only other candidate so far is an Aero...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    IsaacRN - From the way you describe, it sounds like your boots fit great. I wouldn't worry about them stretching enough that they fit too loose. I would love to see a pic of black chrome excel, if you can post one. I've never seen that except on White's webpage. PoohBang, thank you. I've...

    Sorry for the delay, but here they are! British Tan, cap toe, 90' heel, double leather sole, close trim, tan leather liner. The first 2 pics are in sunlight Then indoor lighting with and without flash In answer to bl@ster, the first pair were cognac water buffalo. I liked...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    My boots have arrived, and I am very happy with them, the British Tan is a winner. I'll post some pics soon, I've been so busy at work that I haven't even had a chance to wear the things past trying them on. They look almost identical to bl@ster's boots on page 9, if you want to look. I would...
