    Saw and touched the shown samples of this thread. Not one disappoints, great boots and quality. Will be interesting to watch this happening.

      I had the chance to meet G and Sascha at the BBB. Don't need to say both guys are awesome but have to mention this boots are the killer!

          @Giles:

          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…

          (annnnnd please, no Robin feckin Hood jokes)

          Is this one considered the 'boss toe' or something else?

          A drab green might be up my alley.

            That's the regular jobmaster toe. G can confirm.

              Was afraid you'd say that.

                On a Boss it is called a Boss Toe.  On a Jobmaster it is called the Jobmaster Toe.  Effectively the same thing….

                    I am changing the colour to more of a khaki.  I know that the bright green above will tone down with wear, but I am convinced trying to sell them in that colour will throttle sales.  What is your size?  We may be lucky, these may work for you…..

                      11.5, and I like green.

                        I know they are not 11.5.  I think they are 10D.  But I am in Sicily and the boots are in Gos Vegas…..

                          That's quite alright. Green boots would have been fun though 🙂

                            Green boots are fun.  I recommend that everyone get a pair.

                                I'm pretty sure that you and Giles wear the same size, or very close.

                                You do need a pair of Wescos…

                                  I really do, I saw some beautiful footwear at Fish and Chips and I'm going to need some shortly. As Ned Stark would say, "Winter is coming".

                                      OMG.  I just found this thread.  Where have I been?  With my "boot problem"… I am blown away by some of these builds.  Awesome.

                                        Is that question directed at me?

                                          No, at me  😠 I thought I was well-informed about such things.  Do you plan to sell online, through your retail partners, or both?  You are doing some great stuff - really enjoyed flipping through this last night… I've been eyeing wescos for awhile but have resisted pulling the trigger so far.
