whats your opinion on chromexcel leather in terms of durability and longevity? People seem to love it or hate it, and I cannot seem to find a non-biased opinion anywhere, nor can I find pics of any boots in CXL that have been around for very long…
I think the Chromexcel is a great leather. It will last the same length as a normal cowhide.
I’ve got some photos posted thru the blog of fairly aged CXL , looks great with age , least the icy mocha color.
Recently I’ve tried not to use it(CXL)as much , just for the simple fact that everyone has it. So this spring summer I’ve used only non CXL Horween leathers, this Latigo Navy is a nice example of other types of Horween leather.
I am not sure exactly what their order specs are going to be at this point. You could order direct, as not many people carry our boots. Barney’s NYC will have some but I don’t think this color.
Originally it was a SS13 color, but I did an early order for it with Freeman’s.
We have this leather in stock now. But as of now, no one has this exact boot on order. Freeman sporting club will have something very similar , with out a brick red sole though.
You can order directly, inquiries@workboot.com , but we are at around 14 weeks lead time
These are beautiful! where and when will these be available? Thanks
These will be available nearing end of the year. Just waiting upon the leather delivery at the moment.
Thanks,

Outstanding boot. Where will I be able to pick these up in the U.S.? I have a hard time finding your product here!
We are working with Freeman Sporting Club on some things with the Navy Latigo.
Thanks,
Does that mean that this particular boot may not be available through Freeman’s? This design is beautiful.

Thanks ,
I mailed out my measurements Monday via snail mail on Monday, 7/30/12 for a pair of these direct…looking forward to hearing back! Thanks.
I will let the factory know to keep an eye out for your mail. Probably email or call you upon arrival to go over all the details.
Thanks,
I’m just touching base as to whether the factory received my measurements.. tried calling earlier but got voicemail. Thanks!
Is there any update on the availability of these?

I know I have this exact boot on order! I hope….please confirm?!?
Thanks!
If you could email, inquiries@workboot.com or Wendy@workboot.com either will be able to help you out. I am just not sure who assisted you.
Thanks,
It was Leslie who assisted me… On 8/14 and 8/29/12.
Thanks,
