      reading this forum makes my wallet thinner 😞 ,  my very first engineer boots on a very standard built  🙂

      Can somebody enlighten me about the difference between brown smooth and brown domain leather as i can't find the later option when building my BOSS.

        Brown is oiled and will not take a shine.  Domain is waxed and will.

          @ben2t get the brown domain, it's much nicer looking IMO.

              As an owner of the brown oiled, I also agree.

                        I'm planning on placing an order for a pair of faux Flightmasters soon, but somehow I'm still a little confused about the heel on the Narrows last. I'm thinking about getting it lowered, and I was told that MP = 1 lift, Narrows = 3 lifts, Packer = 4 lifts, so a lowered Narrows should be 2 lifts, but I don't think I've seen an image of a boot like that.

                        The IH brown Roughout Packers are on the Narrows last, and say they are "One lift lower than normal packer," which would indicate they're the standard Narrows height, right?

                        Does anyone have an image of a lowered Narrows boot, or a MP boot that's raised up 1 lift (preferably with 269 sole)? Those ought to be the same heel height if I have my facts straight. I did see this lifted MP engineer, but with double midsole and vibram half sole, and the half sole basically cancels out the lifted heel:

                          Old and new.  Roger & Fredy from VMC liked my 2 tone Wesco's so much, they ordered a load for VMC.  The only difference being that mine were made with a burgundy leather that Wesco no longer use, so we made them out of Domain instead…..

                          Saw and tried these today as well, supernice boots, the domain compliments very well with the tan. Fit was spot on too. Really impressed

                          Cheers,

                            6" Custom Jobmaster.  I love the use of khaki heavyweight stitching and mix of smooth and reverse out domain on these…...
