      That's good, because you'd have a hard time prising them from @SaschaVS 's mitts…...

        OK.  One of the reasons I love this job is that nothing goes quite to plan, so the art of getting where you want to end up is often a series of tweaks.

        I love the Burlap leather that Wesco does, the feel of the smooth out is almost sensual, so I had this "brilliant" idea. Lets take the same hides, subject it to the same tanning process but make it in Olive Drab.

        So Chris at Wesco jumped on the idea.  And we made one sample hide.

        Bugger, we got the recipe wrong.  Personally, I hope these are my size, because I will wear the crap out of them in the certain knowledge that the green will mute with the appropriate abuse.

        For the production run, we'll get the green a lot more drab…

            What about jokes about River Dance or Leprachauns?

              Depends upon whether you want us to "lose" any future orders…..

                When I saw the Robin Hood comment, I thought that Giles had convinced Wesco to get medieval…

                Still, I can't resist posting this. 😃

                  I'm psyched that you're working on some different leathers with Wesco, G. One of my only grips about them was the small number of leather options.

                      Robben Hood would wear orange though right?

                      Think it, be it.

                            Is the "Boss toe" doable on the Packer models?

                              ^ Effectively yes, not quite as tall bubble though.  It's called the 9165 (Jobmaster) last.  These are Packer with Jobmaster toe:

                                Not a Robin Hood joke.  😶

                                Man, I love the idea of green burlap Jobmasters.  If only I could justify another pair of green boots.  Or another pair of burlap Jobmasters.
