@spitfiredealer:

popped up on my feed this morning. Look quality.  What's the crack with stuff I see on wesco Japan? Can you make something similar @Giles

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…..

[spitfiredealer]

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.

@Giles:

Bespoke Jobmasters….

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

The Olive is the same tannage/finish…

I couldn't possibly comment, but I bet other do exactly that…...

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

[Giles]

Basically an 8" Jobmaster roughout burlap with 430's  USD800 inc shipping and taxes

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.

Yep, those are LTT

Would look much better with a pair black jeans.

Whoops sorry.  I have just gone and punched the offender…...

AND?
@JCMx800

[JCMx800]

You really ask?
Well…
First things first: not as heavy as expected, it´s a good thing!!! Construction is solid, leather feels and smells great, even the laces are next level. Welt stitching is ÜBER clean.

About the fit: I was feckin nervous and paranoid, but it was easiest putting on/off ever and they dont hurt. E width is wonderful and the 8.5 length is prefect/roomy too.

Top notch.

Lets see how the leather soften up.

The IH stamped leather insoles only come with IHxWE stock boots?

They come with what I remember to ask for…..

Doesn't WESCO usually have a curved heel (mine do, packers and boss)? JCM's look like they have a block heel.  I like it, but I don't recall seeing this as an option…  Congrats on your new boots.
