Thanks J! They all hate 'em here except you and Eddie because I had them made with four (!) straps. There are more pics a few pages back. But sometimes you've got to do crazy stuff

Fuck them.  Your boots, your body, your style, do what the feck you want…..I do....

You know, I had completely forgotten about those early pics of yours, NCA.  The bad lighting that made them look pinkish was the only problems could see with them.  But Giles is (of course) right- your boots, your money.  If somebody else doesn't like 'em, they can screw off.

I really like that burlap color roughout, by the way.

[nicecrackaction]

thanks guys After all, what's the use of customizing them, if they end up looking everybody elses boots. However, eventually I'll start looking again for another, a bit more traditional pair for riding.

[astrogoji]

actually i was going with two straps myself.  I find the extra straps keep the jeans from attempting to ride up.  more grip around the calve and they look hardcore-er

@nicecrackaction:

Wesco Engineer rough out with motorcycle toe, heel one lift down and Vibram 100R. the three buckles also help to keep the pants from riding up.

Wow just took a look at how good it looks with three straps, pretty amazing!  how do you find the one lift lower in the heel?

I was going to go with double midsole, vibram 705 and one lift lower in heel but not exactly sure how that'll look or feel

[demonito]

god damn mother fucker i wanna see that pair you got. but watch out for the fire leather they are son of a bitches man i swear to you. you will form callouses like no other boot can

[hajduk]

what is the essential difference between the black tie and black fire leather from Wesco?

[demonito]

weight. heavy leather fire proof and fucking hard to break in super wearing mine for 1  year and still fucking stiff

black tie  soft and very gay leather

[injunjack]

I opted Fire leather because it's polishable…takes lot of elbow grease I hear but it's doable. And doesn't look so "oily" if I have understood correctly...

[demonito]

yeah they dont look oily right but theyre not much of a difference than the regular oil leather.  wesco oil leather takes polish good too! dont need no extra elbow grease really

[hajduk]

thanks guys!

[injunjack]

Ok, that's good to know. Thanks Ed.

[simonc]

excited for ya IJ

[Blackheart]

Can't wait to see them Jack!
