      My Jobmasters are the burlap leather, which is 5-6 oz, I believe, and they are lined.  It is really not necessary, and I would not do that again.

        Chris@Wesco never lines anything with a counter unless it goes above about 11 inches, he thinks it unnecessary…..

          Well I think that's all the reassurances I need, everyone. Way to go. Here's the build, btw:

          Wesco Packer
          Leather: Black Tie
          Height: 7"
          Toe: Motorcycle Patrol (not 1339)
          Heel Height: Standard
          Liner: None
          Upper Thread: Brown
          Outsole Stitching: White
          Midsole: Single
          Sole Edge: Natural
          Sole: Vibram 269
          Hardware: Brass hooks and eyes

          Not too wild, but I'm mucho excited.

            And you should be- that's going to be a classic looking build.  Save the wild stuff for your next pair. 😉

              What's the difference between MP and 1339? Just curious.

                1339 is MP shape but accommodates the taller heel.

                  Got it. So 1339 is essentially the narrow last.

                    Yeah they are the same thing. It gets confusing because both the lower- and higher-heel versions are referred to as "motorcycle patrol" depending on where you look.

                      New member, some will know me from Sufu. Here are mine. from the factory store. Longer break in time than any of my whites or Russell's.
                      Very pleased with them so far though. Finishing is great. Construction is bulletproof. You've heard it all before…

                        Nice. Redwood, right?  Denim on those jeans looks good, too.

                            Nice score and welcome to IHF.  Ditto on your comments about break-in time, finish and construction.
