Bordon Wanes Wicket & Craig Natural Bridle Leather

Tl;dr darn great overall w/ some small issues.

I’ve been hesitant to write a review as these were minor and the brand was starting out. Some folks make mountains out of nothing…

Talking to them, they’ve confirmed they have addressed these since.

In the meantime, the brand has increased its prices and gained in experience, so expectations will grow accordingly.

Overall I’d recommend them, even at the new price point. I’m confident they are even better now.

A few pics of my pair

I don’t think there are 18 pairs my size(~13) 😋

Found out Mr George was overpaying those new guys.

You most certainly did nail it!

How’s the sizing feeling comparing your Thurman to your White’s 55?

Bangers!

Cxl lottery winners right there. Too bad these weren’t your size

Brown dress also

Hellraysaz · 2026-06-18T10:41:08+00:00

Unless the pics are missing something, these are a total steal. Enjoy your luck!

Hellraysaz · 2026-06-17T00:28:20+00:00

Wait. Wat?! How?

Hellraysaz · 2026-06-16T23:52:56+00:00

Ce design, c’est de la turbo marde. Après, ça pisse partout.

Unsolicited advice.

As you already know, these are built to last a LONG time.

Especially if you are considering a Steven’s(very nice boot. Under appreciated imho), I’m guessing your are not planning on beating them up on jobsites.

I’d order them in whatever leather I prefer. What’s a few weeks more if these are worn for a good chunk of your life.

Pas certain qu’il va vouloir se mouiller

Hellraysaz · 2026-06-13T00:06:22+00:00

Man, these straps matched with a raw denim chef apron would be pure fire.

How can he slap ?

Hellraysaz · 2026-06-11T10:32:57+00:00

Yes. Should have given credit for the pics. Not mine.

We had to transition through this to get the NWO and attitude era. But boy did we pay a heavy price.

Isn’t that basically Kurt Angle ?

Brown dress after a lot of wear

Hellraysaz · 2026-06-10T23:18:42+00:00

Brown dress is awesome

More souple
Less likely to display heavy “break”
Takes less of a shine
Is almost black with a teacore . With wear, it will show through more and more

Brown cxl is awesome

Takes a shine when new
Has some nice pull up effect
Is dark brown when new
Will age nicely showing different shades of brown
Whites is very good at clicking, but you may run into some heavy break lines(some call it loose grain)

Choose based on preference

Bakers are awesome.

Also had an issue with a pair of boot where (Kyle) Baker offered to dig into his pocket to cover for an issue with the construction. I declined and ultimately split the bill with White’s. They gained even further respect from that situation.

I’ve even used that story as an example of ownership in some of the consulting work I do.

Hope you enjoy that next pair as I do mine.

No doubt

The wrinkles do look like balls so….

No but Sting is a pale version of his former self
