      Super stoked to try the MP toe on a lace up boot like this. All the other toes on White's and Wesco are so broad…this one has a nice contour.

        Agree wholeheartedly. Did you size down or stick with your brannock size? I went a half size down on my mp engineers, but after dealing with some fit issues I'm wondering if I should order tts on these

          Chris had me go to a c width instead of a D. Same length as I usually get.

              Got the leather samples today. Wholly crap this new domain leather is nice!!! Beautiful pull up qualities and very thick. This shit laughs in CXL's face!!

              Left to right: black, brown, burgundy

              Top to bottom, wrinkled up: burgundy, black, brown

              Burgundy:

              Brown:

              I was all in on the brown, but now I don't know… Can I have a pair in each leather?? 🙂

                  No prob, bro! I plan on beating these samples up over the coming days. Will update pics if any strong evo develops

                  Btw- check out the oil/wax saturation visible on the flesh side:

                      Burgundy!  (sorry, just fucking with you…) - they are all NICE!  😘  But I do like that burgundy with the black hues peeping through....

                        I'd go with the burgundy, personally.

                          Fukk, I'm so torn right now between the black and burgundy (think I've ruled out brown)…

                                Burgundy is the most versatile color. It goes with black and brown. Easy to pair with any color leather jacket or belt.

                                  Burgundy for packers, definitely 😉

                                      Thx for the comments guys. In the end, i decided to go with black tie. As much as I love the burgundy, I figure ill get more wear outta black. Of all my boots, my #8 shells see the least amount of use. And as nice as the brown is, I concluded that I have enough brown lace ups already… My only other black lace ups are my lace to toe Smokejumpers in cxl. Figure these will be my less work boot-ish black boot. Damn I need to stop this addiction!!!

                                      I'm just gonna say it though, someone needs to order some engineers in that brown; they will look killer

                                        This is my first Wesco order - i'd appreciate any advice/comment… I'm trying to build/order this boot:

                                        Here is my attempt at placing the order (I have it saved for later):
                                        CUSTOM PACKER
                                        STYLE BR906P705 (Size: 12 1/2D)
                                          +Single-Tone:Roughout Brown
                                          +6" Height
                                          +Regular Toe
                                          +#705 Vibram® Sole
                                          +Standard Heel Height
                                          +Brass Eyelets
                                          +Lightweight Brown Upper Stitching
                                          +White Outsole Stitching
                                          +Tan Nylon Laces
                                        SPECIAL REQUESTS: 7 inch height, Packer upper with MP toe (taller heel #1339 shoe last)

                                        I know it is a different sole - I like the 705 - but I want everything else the same.  Chris at Wesco said it was 7" height and he mentioned the #1339 last.  I don't want to mess this up.  Also unsure about sizing - anyone out there have a comparison to White's or Viberg's?

                                          Looks good to me, but I'm not an expert on Wesco.

                                          I wear a size 10D across the board in the Viberg 2030 last, the White's swing last and whatever last Wesco uses in the Jobmaster, by the way.

                                            Bluegrass, I'd order true to size on these if I were you. I'm a 10D on Whites standard SJ last, 9.5D on the #55 last. I currently have a pair of sz 9.5D MP engineers but ended up having the toe stretched, so the order I just placed was 10D. Note that this last has a rather narrow toe box. It's as cool as they come though IMO.

                                            Your boots are gonna look sick!
