Description

The White's x Division Road British Tan CXL 350 Lineman is a 6" Lace-to-Toe pattern inspired by original toe lace logger and lineman boots debuted by Otto White in the 1920’s that were popular with workman due to greater accuracy in adjusting fit based on the conditions of use, foot swelling, or injury. These Division Road White's are characterized by the versatile British Tan Chromexcel with a rust-brown undertone that will patina and darken through continued exposure as deep scuffs and high wear areas reveal the lighter color of the natural core beneath. Chromexcel by Horween is the original pull-up leather developed from a nearly century-old secret recipe of techniques, materials and finishes and is known for its flexibility, comfort, and durability. This boot is designed in collaboration with Master Shoemaker and now CEO, Eric Kinney, to hallmark the quintessentially Northwest stitchdown construction tradition using White's unique hand-sewn and all-leather builds with our functional design approach to honor original craftsmanship, history, and lifetime durability with a fresh perspective. This LTT Lineman comes with the addition of a lineman patch over the vamp for added protection and an historically accurate reference that combines with the popular Arch-Ease 55 Last known for providing trademark support with a more approachable break-in and having an elegantly classic round toe shape with an accommodating forefoot and moderate profile that matches a wide variety of feet. We exclusively enhanced White's hand-sewn welted methods with a tonally corresponding Natural CXL welt to match the natural finished leather midsole and block-logger heel with a slight sculpt that emphasizes their completely unique approach to making lifetime work boots. A multi-paneled upper allows for comprehensive rebuilds and the low profile Vibram 430 Mini Lug Sole provides high traction and longevity for all terrains which, combined with a single row hand-sewn stitchdown, allows for greater flexibly, comfort, and a clean aesthetic for the long-haul. Finally, this Lineman comes with an outdoor-purposed, fully gusseted tongue and heavy duty upper thread for the rugged and is refined with brass eyelets and a leather pull loop, finished with a custom White's collar stamp and WB x DR collaboration insole stamp. Made as a hallmark to White's unaltered, hand-sewn traditions and customized to Division Road specifications, this 350 Lace-to-Toe Lineman is built for the woods in a polished aesthetic suitable for urban environs.
