Wesco - Production and sneak peeks

[superfuzz]

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

[Giles]

Wow, thank you @superfuzz, that's a nice thing to be told…..

[Giles]

And for those who are interested, here is the spec…..

Very nice, and +1 on the technical drawings.

Probably too early but…any idea on price if you could do horse engineers? Under 1000?

[Giles]

No idea.  Sorry.

[Giles]

Update on the buckle.  The prong (or tongue) is too large a gauge.  The frame is fanfeckintastic, so we are proceeding with the stamping, but we will put a finer wire prong on the production version.

Running a couple of Flightmaster samples…...

1 in black domain and 1in brown domain.....

@Giles:

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 heard this called the "butt" as well as the "strip."

Somebody I know has a pair of these coming in shortly. Amongst other things.

One configuration I've never seen is a Jobmaster lacetoe upper in conjunction with either the narrow or MP last. Potentially because it can't be done?

Butt-Strip inbound…....

Teaser?

[Giles]

No.  I have brown and black inbound from Chicago….

Are these a soft toe??  They are just beautiful.

was able to try these babies on today, a really nice engineer, impressive built, loved it. unfortunately there was not a half size bigger around at the store to compare it with my usual size 8. Anyway thats an awesome boot, check it out guys

Will def order a MP boss boot. The boot samples at V&S looked over the top, top notch quality and craftsmen ship!!!

The "narrow" is merely an MP boot with a taller heel…...

[Giles]

Look what turned up today…..

Horse Strip(tease)??
