    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Speak of the devil, Baker's notified me on Friday that my new boots are on the way, they will be delivered Monday.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Just a quick update. I ordered my first pair of Whites through Bakers back in June, and from the day I ordered to the day they arrived was exactly 5 weeks. I reordered once the first pair had been returned, and from the day the re-order was finalized it has been 5 weeks and one day. I'm...

    Achieving the Indiana Jones look...without looking in costume??

    I find it doesn't matter what I wear, if it includes a brownish hat with a full brim that somewhat resembles a fedora, someone will make an Indiana Jones comment. Most people mean no harm or ridicule in the comment, in fact most comments are more complimentary than anything.

    A leather watch band color question

    So I know the general rule is to match leather when wearing multiple leather pieces, ie. shoes and belt should match. I have always considered it proper to wear a watch band that matched, such as brown shoes, brown belt, brown watch band. So here is my dilema: If I only have a brown leather...

    Harrison Ford picks the hat. Cowboys and Aliens

    He is showing a little promise, he gave us the first Iron Man movie. He also directed Iron Man 2, which was a bit of a let down, but still enjoyable. For more info check out the Internet Movie Data Base, which I think might be the only site I'm on more than the lounge...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    In any event, I feel I should shed some light on my situation with the Whites boots I purchased. I requested a number of leather samples from Whites prior to ordering. I then ordered the boots I wanted through Baker shoes, as they had better pricing. When the boots arrived, the color of the...

    Whites Semi Dress Boots 9.5 D cognac water buffalo

    So I just took possesion of my new Whites semi dress less than two weeks ago. The quality is not in question, these are no doubt very well made boots. The problem is, I had never seen them in person, only pictures. When I received them, I wasn't sure I really liked them. Because they are...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    In 1994 I purchased a pair of Doc Martin boots from Nordstrom, and at that time they used UK sizing. I wore a size 8 then. Seemed to fit fine.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    It's funny with the sizing. I wear a 9D in Alden, Allen Edmonds, Frye, Justin, Tony Llama, and any other shoe I've tried. So I sent my tracing to Bakers, who contacted Whites, who stated I should wear a 9 1/2 D. Doubtful, I went to a nearby dealer who stocks Smoke jumpers. I tried on both...

    Custom Aero halfbelt

    Thank you all for your kind comments. My chest is 38 relaxed, 40 inhaled. I normally wear a size 40 suit (American sizing). This jacket fits pretty much like a size 40 suit. I have enough room to wear a regular button down shirt, and a thermal shirt or tight knit sweater on cold days. My...

    Custom Aero halfbelt

    So, some of you may remember the saga last year of the long awaited Aero halfbelt. Without rehashing that story, suffice to say I've had this jacket for almost a year, and shame on me for not posting pics sooner. This is my third Aero, and the one I am happiest with, not just because it turned...

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    Also not very classic, but I like these Ray Ban Highstreets

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Actually, that is just what I wanted to know. Thank you. I'm curious as to which leather you chose, and I also echo the request for pics. Please.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    So I am planning to purchase a pair of these boots in a few months, and am still mulling over what specifics I want. I am curious if anyone has added a leather liner that feels it was not needed, or did not add a leather liner and wished you had. Your input is appreciated.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Those are stunning. Did you order direct from Whites, or did you go through a vendor like Baker? I ask because I didn't think Whites allowed general sizing, but Bakers does. Either way, they look great.

    Everybody! Please post pictures of your 3/4 length buttoned jackets here!

    I need to update my pics, this jacket is 2 years old and I took these photos when it was new.
