          Looking forward to seeing the factory when I'm in Oregon this coming October, love the fact the Oregon
          has no sales tax as well… 😉

            just watch out for all the hipsters and their indiscriminate usage of irony at any given time.

                  I have read from another forum, that some people have just recently received their custom Bosses couple of weeks ahead.

                  But anyhow I'm trying to get enough Zen in me to wait the whole 16weeks (and crossing fingers and hoping for like 10)

                    Has anyone tried Wesco's custom fit service? Was it successful?

                    I've got weird feet (wide at the front, narrow at the heel), so it would be a good option for me. I'm just a bit nervous about getting it right.

                    I've used the custom fit service twice. I have a high instep on my right foot, and feet similar to yours. If the boots aren't right, they'll work with you to get them right. Both pairs of my Wescos (Boss and Jobmaster) were spot on. Hope that helps.

                      Thanks Seawolf. It sounds like it's not as risky an operation as I think.  🙂

                        They are some of the friendliest guys you can meet.  They will work with you to get it right, no need to worry.

                        Not exactly a build from scratch but I just had my Wesco's jobmasters rebuilt and it was a week turn around.  They came back looking brand new.  Incredible boot co.

                            @holla:

                            Damn you, Rocket… Those Jobmasters are wonderful. I've never looked at WESCO before I saw your pair. Was gonna save up for some White's Cougars with the much dreaded Vibram wedge sole, but now I'm not so sure anymore.

                            Those look great too imo...

                                        in case someone like these and is a US 11E rush over to http://www.mrmuddandmrgold.com they have one pair left for a super steal price of €234 -20% if you use the code "summer discount" and possible (not 100% sure, but guess so) minus VAT if you live outside Europe!!!

                                          I think these are the build that's only available to the Japanese market.  You could try a motor patrol toe, standard stitching, standard motor patrol heal height, standard instep strap, and black leather. That might get you there. If you email the picture to Bakers, they'll be able to get it made for you. Hop that helps.

                                            Thank you very much, it does indeed help!  Are these the Wesco Narrow Engineers only available in Japan?  I had no idea, I just saw the pic on superfuture and wanted them immediately  😠

                                            I would definitely lengthen the straps by an inch or two if I go with a custom build.
