      Packer does not have heavy upper stitching…

        thanks guys,
        i am more than happy with them!

        the fit is the best of all my boots,
        owing to Chris from wesco, who did measure my feet this summer.

        @NNNN i like heavyweight stitching on the uppers very much. i see a pair jobmasters coming up in the near future, preferable in horse.

          This jobmaster/packer distinction is becoming very confusing to me!

            So this is a lace-to-toe Jobmaster with a Packer upper? Are there any differences aside from the heavyweight stitching on the upper? I guess with the regular toe version of the Jobmaster, having a Packer upper would also avoid having the extra bit of leather and stitching where the upper meets the vamp:

            Do I have this right?

              That looks like a regular toe no master to me.

                    it was/is confusing to me too.
                    i really was looking forward to heavy upper stitching and landed without.

                      The look great. I think that the heavy weight stitching would take a while to break in. Even the lightweight stitching on my bosses was stiff for a long while.

                        I don't think it is; I think it's a lace to toe Jobmaster without heavy upper stitching.

                            Hello all!

                            The boots are a Packer upper. you can also tell by the Backstay of the boot only having the lightweight stitching. I have a few pictures attached to hopefully help point out the different construction of the two styles.

                                Whoa… The lightweight stitching looks tons better. And probably suited just fine for people here!

                                      ^ that with khaki heavyweight stitching would be even better IMO

                                          The heel on that looks massive! Is that the standard heel height?
