ABC Mart is the Japanese parent company. The Japanese are known for their love for American products. White’s boots are revered as Rolls Royce of work boots in Japan. ABC Mart has taken an off hand approach with White’s Boots as they have with LaCrosse. ABC Mart acquired LaCrosse and White’s to preserve the quality as well the legacy of the companies. The acquisition is beneficial to White’s as it has allowed for a larger global market footprint as ABC Mart has a mature global market pipeline. Lastly along with the shortage of material to make these boots the extended order -manufacturing- shipping time frame is due to the added international orders.
@@Mile-long-list nope not an White’s boot employee at all actually got that from personal research of the companies involved and personal experience having a few dozen Japanese friends and businessmen. Also I am on the East Coast far away from the Pacific Northwest. Actually the boots I am wearing are a different PNW company and I have never owned a pair of White’s but know from experience about the Japanese love for traditional American clothing be it traditionally made boots or old style hand loomed denim dungarees. ABC Mart opened up the Japanese market for traditional made American products which White’s Boots are just that.
i do my research about burgundy horse hide bounty hunter with quarter inch lift and i run into your video. Pulling the trigger now, thank you for the upload
Your collection must be so cool. If you ever felt like making a video where you literally show every pair I’d definitely watch it. I’m only 5 pairs of PNW in so far. I probably wont be able to catch up to you, lol, but I’m definitely not done addiction my collection. I just love them. Oh, I have 4 pairs of JK’s, 1 Whites, 1 of Nicks on order, and I want to add Franks very soon.
You broke the internet with this one bro ❤️🥾👍. I just received my 7” Bounty Hunters! 4812 last, CinnWaxed, Captoe and BrownRough on the top with OliveWaxed on the backstay, 1/4” lower and V700 outsole
Absolutely! I have purchased about a dozen pair of boots from all different PNW makers in the last two years, I can tell you 100% that my whites through Bakershoe have been the most refined boots off the box.
Great video. Appreciate you made a video on White's boots considering that there is a lot of controversial stuff doing the rounds about their quality control. I love half soles and would want to own a pair of bounty hunters. My only question is " how well do they handle sleet and snow ? " . That is of particular interest to me because I live mostly in Canada.
Why on earth don't you wear them? That makes no sense. You haven't broken any of them in so you can't even truly speak to the comfort. Even the ones you speak to break in time.. Don't even have a crease so their not broke in lol
@@calpeters2818 damn that’s the last question I could answer, I love all boots. Have close to 40 pairs. I like whites nomads more for their ruggedness and Wesco for their refine finish.
Nobody is saying the quality is bad it's the cost has gone up. Would you pay $700 for whites when Wesco is $500 and Nicks is $550? I own all 3 brands and Wesco is easily the best.
All my pairs from nicks, franks,jks and most Wescos have been over $700. I own 9 pairs of Wesco boots alone, and I’d easily take my whites over them. Wesco does in fact offer a better finish, but as far as comfort and more rugged build I’d take white’s, just my opinion

You sound like a well versed employee.

I love Whites but its funny to see someone raving about boots and in the same breath says I've never worn them lol.

which boots are the best?
Finally ordered through Bakers and I feel like a friend is making me a boot, not a business 👍🏽👏🏽
Hell yeah man! Everyone at Bakers is awesome. What you get?
I can't imagine Whites Boots going down in quality. Thanks for sharing.
I love whites, I always wait around their Father’s Day or black Friday sale 20% off so worth it
Those are all great looking boots! I have two pairs of Nick’s and they are both fantastic.

People just love saying the quality has gone down like they know something no one else does.

Amazing boots, thank you for sharing.
It’s not a in-depth review, but I’ll make another soon. Thanks for watching 😃
What a horsehide lover! me2 LOL
Great video. Appreciate you made a video on White's boots considering that there is a lot of controversial stuff doing the rounds about their quality control. I love half soles and would want to own a pair of bounty hunters. My only question is " how well do they handle sleet and snow ? " . That is of particular interest to me because I live mostly in Canada.
I wish I could answer that question for you, but I haven’t seen snow in about 10 years, I live in Southern California
Why on earth don't you wear them? That makes no sense. You haven't broken any of them in so you can't even truly speak to the comfort. Even the ones you speak to break in time.. Don't even have a crease so their not broke in lol
Hey nice collection! I am 10D in case you decided to sell any of them. I’d be very interested
Is baker boots a dealer?
Looking forward to your video of your other White's. Do you have smoke jumpers and nomads?
Yes I do! I’ve got a few of each of those. I will make another video soon. Thanks
@@arthurbarrios888 Do you have Wesco boss, too? Would be nice if you could do comparison video of nomads and boss and which you like best.

@@arthurbarrios888 you both have a lot of boots. you should review/rank them...
Is the horsehide soft and ameable?
