    a 7 3/8 Borso in great condition is regularly one of the most expensive hats on the bay. This one was no exception.

    they're discussed in the cap faction, in this thread, and there's one example here. IMO, the cuts are terrible.

    If anyone got this one from O'Neil's, please post it in the Ohio thread. I walk by the building 5 days a week.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Check out the Build A Boot feature on Baker's site. You can't make a Bounty Hunter, but you can get an idea of the colors and textures.

    :) As soon as Baker's calls me with sizing info from my tracings, I'll be right there with you.

    Despite your every effort to highlight it, I somehow missed that one. Thanks. That's exactly what I was hoping to find.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Thanks again. For the many posts on White's with liners that I've seen, I've yet to read anyone's account of overheating from liners. So I'm in on a liner. The cream liner looks a bit white to me, so I'm thinking either brown or red, depending upon whether it's more oxblood or bright, candy...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Thanks for the help, KyleK. +1. The tan looks a little "flat" to me when it's new, but I'm sure it takes on character with wear. I'm pretty much set on my order at this point, and I'm going with the brown chrome excel. Tomorrow, I'm mailing my tracings and measurements to Baker's to get...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Thanks, univibe. I think that these photos may have just sold me on the Horween from styleforum from SuFu The dress brown is very nice, but the Horween has a great depth to it. I also think that I'm going to go with the close trim, as my feet are already big enough. What are your...

    It was reintroduced after disappearing in 45. The later stuff is all marked as DuPont processed.

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    Thanks for the advice, it's nice to hear from someone who's had them for a while. I know that the dress brown starts off almost black, but I love the pictures of the worn ones that start to show brown. On the other hand, starting dark brown and having the cache in my mind that Horween carries...

    White's Semi-dress Boots..

    A pair of these is going to be my Christmas gift, so I've got a couple of decisions to make. With a couple of days worth of playing around with combinations, I think I like the Baker's Bounty Hunter on the Semi-Dress last, rolled top, antique brass hooks and eyes, no toe treatment (box or cap)...

    Thanks. They're one size, and mine fits fine when adjusted down quite far. I'm not sure how a small headed guy would keep one of these on his head.

    A custom $300+ hat will always be the same felt. To my knowledge, all of the custom hatters in the US, save Optimo, use Winchester felt. There's nothing wrong with Winchester felt, but it means that the difference between the felt of a hat from Art, TonyB, Black Sheep, Falcon Park, etc. is going...
