    @Chris:

    In all seriousness, the Big Black Boots website has a lot of good info, particularly about Wesco.

          I'm willing to bet you will sell at least a couple pairs with these photos, G. Great looking boots.

            What do you mean what is the crack with the stuff you see on Wesco Japan?  They are a distribution agent, they have exclusivity for Wesco in Japan and sell shit loads.  I can build virtually anything…..

              I didn't know if you were able to copy designs from there or not. But if you can build virtually anything then i guess inspiration can be taken from builds i have seen in japan.

                The most beautiful pair so far IMO. And the leather feels so fantastic…they might be something for me.

                      Wow, those custom Jobmasters are the nuts! What's the spec please G? Can I ask the price too, or at least range?

                          Thanks G, was all set on getting the brown Foot Patrols this year, but these Jobmasters may upset that plan!

                              Those Jobmasters are great.  This from a guy who normally doesn't like lace-to-toe or semi lace-to-toe (does that describe these?).  The stitching and details are killer.  Awesome build.
