      Thanks for the post! Gorgeous hues on all three of those but I can understand the dilemma… 😉

        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.

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

                            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!

                                    B, thanks man.  Do you know if is this a soft toe? if you just add MP toe like I did, what will you get? And I wonder what he means by "taller heel 1339 last" - is that just the technical term for the MP last?

                                    Damn, I better call them vs. just placing an online order - I'll be a nervous wreck.

                                    And I assume their standard brown leather is pretty stout stuff - do you now if it is thicker than the Domain?

                                      No sweat, my man. That's definitely got the celastic. The toe box is pretty much flat on this last without it. as for the leathers; looks to me like the domain but i could very well be weong abput that. The standard oil is approx 7oz and the domain is approx 5oz. Ask Chris for some leather swatches 😉

                                      Oh yeah, and the #1339 last is the Narrow last, which is a D width version of the MP last that has been specially built for a higher heel.

                                        Thanks, very helpful. I'm going to call Chris to make sure I order the right thing.  Then the "the wait" begins.  Did you pull the trigger on yours??

                                          If you don't mind spending the extra money, I highly recommend getting the custom fitting. It worked great for me.
