@superfuzz:

Sounds like a good build @JCMx800 I'm jealous!

You can wear engineers, I am the jealous person

[superfuzz]

Anyone can wear engineers!

Actually my back has been all f-ed up so no engineers for me

They really dont suit me.
Strange, my back hurts when I wear Vans over a too long time and my back feels good when I put on my boots.

[superfuzz]

Honestly I don't know if the engineers hurt my back, it just seems to feel the best when I wear Birkenstocks or Blundstones.

It looks a little bit off, you are right. I choosed single midsole and the black tie domain, 7" height, again nothing fancy, but will be a great BWC boot

I'm excited to see this combo too. Was thinking it might be nice with a 10" height. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen any MP Packers above 8"…

Does anyone know if the Armortred or Christy soles get proportionally thicker/thinner as they go up or down in size? My Wesco boots are small, so if the thickness is consistant though all sized they might be crazy chunky.

I love  the black and olive Wescos in the Thailand trip. What is wrong with me?? :o

[Giles]

They will be available for IH UK in a couple of months…..

[Finkster]

Nice … very nice!

Sounds like you guys figured out that proper support in your footwear makes a big difference. When I was a kid I could never understand why Vans and Chucks made my feet hurt so much. It wasn't until I got my first pair of Birkenstocks, and much later, my first pair of Wescos that I truly understood how important support is to my feet (and back).

FP-1

[Finkster]

Excellent twism … looks like my FP1's (no kilties and the yellow laces) - the perfect look! 

[summ3rhays]

Congrats @twism_23 .  I dig the color.  They look amazing.

[superfuzz]

Glad to see the Wesco love on here.

[Peter]

Does a shade kinda in between the brown domain and the burlap exist? I guess I'm looking for a slightly darker and slightly more yellowish burlap..

[superfuzz]

Peter, Wesco doesn't offer a shade of leather exactly like what you're looking for. Muskhaven (a Wesco dealer) offers a natural veg tanned leather that might be close. Also, if you look at pictures of smooth out Burlap that has been worn and aged (and maybe treated) it winds up looking a lot darker.

[twism_23]

@summ3rhays thx man. Need to start wearing them more!

[Dylansboss2]

Hi Peter! There are a handful of pictures of the Burlap online after it has been worn. They do darken nicely. As mentioned, the Veg Tan is available as well! You can soak or oil the Veg Tan to get the darker look.

[Peter]

Thanks for providing answers, guys! I'm all about the rough out though, which I guess will evolve differently and not darken in the same way. Not a fan of dubbin either. Just checking really, still pretty keen on getting a pair of oxfords in burlap rough out when I've got the funds.

[superfuzz]

Burlap roughout will dark with age as well. It might not turn to exactly the color you want, but it will definitely darken.
