Hathorn is owned by Whites, and is a step below them in overall quality and toughness from what my dealer says. Also a step below in price. Whites just weren't in my budget. I used to wear Red Wing Loggers, but the quality seems to have cratered the past decade or more. They used to last quite a long time, the last two pair I had, one lasted less than 2 years I believe, the last one less than a year. My dealer got me a full refund and I applied it to the Hathorns. Ive had them rebuilt once, and they need it again. If I took better care of them theyd last longer. I seem to be hard on boots though, or was when I was working and out in the hills all the time.

I think this thread was started to trick the dandies into identifying themselves. Good one, VM
I can only imagine what kind of clothes you have to go with those fancy shoes. I've never owned or wore a suit/tuxedo. I think I owned a pair of dress pants once, not sure though.
i used to wannabe
Dress pants, that's black Levis isn't it? To be worn with your good dress cowboy boots.
I did have a couple pair of Rios of Mercedes handmade boots. Both were gifts. Sadly, I wore them both out. They don't give much ankle support though, I broke my foot once in the Rios boots stepping on a rock that rolled.

I tried to just say nice kakhis. But I don't know how to spell it, my spell checker isnt working for me, and I'm too lazy to google it. But no, I don't do the black jeans thing lol

Ah, I wasn't aware of that or it's possible I heard that and forgotten. I came close to purchasing some from Whites but after buying that pair from Viberg I would probably buy another from Viberg instead of one from Whites. I've heard that about Redwing although the two Beckmans I purchased a few years ago I am pretty happy with those. Hard to break in though, but darn tough boots. I did wear them for about an hour for a few weeks straight every. Day before wearing for the full day however. Still sore after wearing the full day and mostly I was sitting down.
