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 is a regular Jobmaster…

Giles, just curious how is TAA's boot a Packer?

@superfuzz
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.

they have the packer upper

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.

Helps me.  Thanks Boss

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

[superfuzz]

Very helpful. Thanks!

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

So if I understand the above explanation, this is a lace to toe Jobmaster with lightweight stitching, correct?

And Giles posted a semi lace to toe Jobmaster, right?

[Bluegrass]

And I guess you can get the jobmaster with or without heavy upper stitching?
