That's so beautiful! Is it Brown Dress Leather?

That's Cool! What leather is PER3 made of? Do you have a picture?

Oh, great jacket!

They are also called False Tongue. The purpose is to protect the real tongue from abrasion of the laces, and to prevent dirt. :D

That's a good story! :eusa_clap

6 Inch.

Personal preference. The #461 Last has an upturned toe. :D

Here is a pair of Caiman/Crocodile Leather Smoke Jumper. 6 Inch High, built on the #461 Last, with Vibram 100 Lug outsole. The upper leather is Black Chrome Excel. Standard Heel Height, Single Midsole, Standard Trim, Black Leather Liner, Black Edge. :D

That's a very fine pair of boots for the lady. ;)

1911 Man, I think you should also consider the 7-8oz Oil-Tanned Leather Brown Smooth and Red Dog Smooth. The former has a similar color but less shine than the Brown Chrome Excel, while the later has a lot of red in it. They are both the toughest leather White's can provide, and are not so soft...

As long as you get a half rubber sole in the forefoot, the heel hight should be the same as any other 2-layer forefoot boots, including the Burgundy boot I posted above (2-layer leather, rather than 1 leather + 1 rubber). So, just imagine that boot got lowered by one lift in the heel. And it...

The Chrome Excel Leather is very thick and substantial. A leather liner is not necessary, but not bad either. I have only handled one pair of half soles, didn't measure the dimentions though. To my understanding, White's Heel Hight is constant according to heel lifts feeling, no matter you...

I think the Brown CXL is better coupled with a Natural Edge. Here is a contrast of 2 Bounty Hunters (Smoke Jumper + Semi-Dress Last), with almost identical specifics, both Brown CXL, only with Natrual and Brown dyed edge: Brown CXL + Natural Edge Brown CXL + Brown Edge

Yes, that is a Double Leather Sole, just like 1911 Man's, only with double stitched trim and a cuban heel.

You are welcome! The Burgundy CXL is one of my favorite too. There is more purple in it than in the Burgundy French Calf. And the Shark Leather, it also feels very dry, not quite leather like.
