      Hey g, when you say you're in talks about horse, do to mean horsehide or horsebutt? And do you think both will eventually have a makeup? And how's the talks lookin ??

        Not Shell.  We will use the area between the shells and the fronts - it is called the "Strip".  This allows us to get nice thick horse, the fronts (FQHH) do not yield thick enough leather for booting.

        I have ordered samples.  Because the Strip is quite narrow, we may have issues with large vamped boots…..

          Dang, hopefully you can ge a 9" engineer out of it… For some reason wesco was never on my radar, but after looking at the more style-driven makeups I can see that they're pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Would adding toe tracks be an option, or is that not really wesco's thing? I don't think I've seen a pair with them

            "Adding for tracks" Don't understand the question?

              Sorry G$, already updated my post…dumb phone!  I'm sure you know what they are, but I like pics

              I'm wondering if they might look off for some reason though on wesco…

                I'm going to say no.  I like them but I want to retain the Wesco aesthetic…..

                  I gotcha, for some reason I can see that it just doesn't really jive.  same thing with viberg's engineers too imo… I think something about the very oval toe of those bucos lends itself to the track

                      Dope… Are you getting nickel ones made as well, or only brass?

                        50% will be nickel coated once I have approved the design.

                          I am always on the nickel-side of hardware, but when I see those buckles I dont care about the color.

                                  OK, G! If so I'm going to add a set to my next order. Those are the best looking buckles I've seen.
