That's a nice build
-
Thx for the compliments, gents!
Full build specs:
WESCO custom packers
MP Toe last
Black tie domain leather (the new stuff)
7" height
Unlined
Brass eyelets and hooks
Single midsole
269 soles
Standard heel height and thread color
Unstained, natural trim finish (that I hand finished with Fiebings trim kote)Only beef is they initially finished the trim black, and I returned them. Rather than putting new soles/heels on them they sanded off the black, which means there is still black on the majority of the top edges (you would have to remove the soles and stitching to sand it off which they didn't do). It doesn't look bad or awkward per se, but would have preferred to have the entire leather portion of the soles be natural. I'm cool though. Not the end of the world (black on black was hideous though!)

very beautiful!

New set of workbooks arrived today. Stock "Groundout" style boot.
Really well put together boots, seems a shame to take them offshore and get them covered in all kinds of muck.
The IH Wesco boots will be amazing, Wesco construction and IH styling will be a brilliant combination.
Picked up some Obenaufs recently and this is about to get applied to the boots. Nice sunny day where I am so conducive to boot oil application and also a cold malted beverage! Happy days!

A very pleasant hours work. Two coats of Obenaufs soaking into the boots in the sunshine.
