        Looking good! That brown suede/roughout packer.. Does it have unconstucted / soft toe box?

            I hope I'm not posting in the wrong thread - does Wesco offer a boot similar to the Viberg 1950 Service boot? Especially regarding the toecap and the height. I love bulky toecaps and dislike the "flat" looking ones on the Wescos. But I love all the rest.

              I noticed the engineers weren't using those buckles you spec'ed out of Japan, but also weren't using the standard Wesco non-roller buckles (they look like the same ones Muskhaven used in their custom build)–were the custom ones a one-time thing for the Wild Ones?

              Think it, be it.

                They should be using some Japanese buckles I supplied, but they may have overlooked it as they are in such a rush to make all the samples I need to Berlin.
                Going forward, I have just ordered 2,000 buckles to be sand cast to my specs by @Kurt-faith.  I showed him my Japanese buckles when we were in Tokyo and he said he could do better…...

                  We can do anything you want with what Wesco call a bubble toe…..

                    No it has a toe box, but we can make without…..

                      Some good looking make-ups! Having recently placed an order with Wesco for a pair of custom engineer boots that I'll be picking up in September. The engineer boot shown here would offer a great contrast to what I already have coming in. What toe are you using on that build? MP perhaps.

                      Wesco themselves posted a similar build on their Instagram page not long ago.

                      Will the boots feature any Ironheart branding?

                      Can't wait to see some more photos.

                          Our boot is similar, but 9" with a single calf buckle and an MP toe.  All WescoxIron Heart boots will have a leather insol with Iron Heart logo embossed on the heel seat…

                                      is wesco able to produce a bit more of a  "light weight" kinda boot/shoe?…each pair seems kinda bulky and all that!

                                      Fwiw, Wescos are incredibly robust, year somehow lightweight, relatively speaking.
