Interesting photos! Reference the last one - AP Bigelow was an interesting author with a wry sense of humor that I enjoy, but I did not know he was a competitive shooter.
Yes indeed, if you're interested in White's, by all means go through Baker's. They offer pretty significant sales on White's boots several times a year, and make customization easy if there's something you want that's not an off-the-shelf offering from White's. And Kyle is the king of nailing...
I have both "Smokejumper" (White's) and "Hotshot" (Nick's) firefighter/logger type boots, and also Packers from both companies, and I think the sizes in those two types of boots between brands are very comparable. At least they are for me.

I have a Gannon with those same colors, but without the brim binding. I really like it - you made a good choice! Seeing yours makes me wish I had bound the brim, too. ;)
