Thanks for the update on this, I had not been to thier work boot site. I see they make "work specific" boot still. Good to know.
Regarding the notes on White's and the Hawtorn series, those are more of the Goodyear welted boot type. The true White's - only are generally stitchdown...
Vibergs are mostly fashion material these days.
White's are excellent quality Work Boots with a great arch support, however ownership of thier company has changed in the past few years (much like Filson). Some do not like the direction the new owenrship have taken the company, but it has...
So to the OP's questions - given the number of questions and the magnatude of some of them, and being you are in Scotland, why not just set up to go visit in person? It will be a lot easier to also try on a few jackets yourself, check out the leathers & linings, plus you get the whole aroma...

No Exit jacket yet for me either. Not really focused upon it. As others have stated:

This community ROCKS! - No matter your title! :)
The lessons learned here and productive feedback have helped inform my choices substantially
There will always be another...
Thanks - It's not coming back (that voice inside my head). :)
