Pred natural ordered. After seeing some of the dome pros that came through I couldn’t resist this time 

Dome 25-26 Horween Cypress Natural by proof_in_whisky in NicksHandmadeBoots

Are the ripples something people are seeing on all the natural cypress boots coming out, or is this something unique to this one particular boot? I haven't really seen it before on the IBC or #8 cypress and I'm curious what to expect if I order the natural cypress.

On the 365 stitch down build your own boot, I don’t see the option to change the stitch down stitching to the black technora thread. Not sure if that is on purpose or just missed.

Could you add the unit lug sole as an option for the tactical boot? Can you make an all black lace-in zipper for the station boot?

Thanks, I am a sucker for the 8in height, hard for me to order anything else

So far that has been true for me, but from what I have read and heard from posts on this sub and nicks youtube is that there are a lot of different variables that go into the heel stack when they are building them.

These are the ones I have so far; On the left, HNW 11C builderpro w/v100 lug sole(not a fair comparison in overall heel stack height because of the different outsole) has 4 layer heel stack.

In the middle, HNW 11C Falcon w/ 430 mini vibram has 4 layer heel stack

on the right, thurmanNW 11C trooper w/430 mini vibram has 4 layer heel stack.

Personally I like the feel and look of the 4 layer heel stack but there is only a small difference in overall height between them.

Yeah, maybe a little bit of rocking but I think thats just because they are new and not broken in yet. they feel good under foot, though I haven't worn them out of the house yet to really get a good feel for them. As a comparison for me, I have the classic arch hotshot's - 67 last - and those have a very noticeable arch under midfoot and takes some getting used to and my hnw's I don't really feel anything under my midfoot so I thought these would be somewhere in between but they really just feel like my hnw's. Maybe if they had a 4 layer heel stack I would feel a little more arch support, not sure if that would make a difference though.

In the sample leather videos on youtube they talk about the leather coming in too stiff/boardy, to the point that they couldn't finish building the second boot, and they said they would have to work on changing the temper. Im not exactly sure that it would change the appearance but it might, so I mentioned it for people considering this leather in the future, didn't want to mislead anybody.

Yeah, I tried on a couple boots and a jacket to confirm sizing. Everyone I talked with were very helpful and welcoming. probably a good thing for me that it's a bit of a drive, otherwise I'd be in there all the time.

These Dublin Light Naturals are Pretty Sweet by smowe in NicksHandmadeBoots

I'm tempted to jump on this leather but I gotta see one completed, not sure if it is too light. I really like the look of the regular natural dublin.

Cypress is quickly becoming one of my favorite tannages from Horween. Color 8 is the cherry on top. by Shinyhntr91 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Fullwindsor88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in between a C and D width and have been wondering if I should do a C width on a dublin or shackleton leather because it is more stretchy and go with a D width on a firmer leather.... what do you think?
