        Good afternoon gentlemen! I finally purchased my first pair of Wesco Boots. I needed a new pair of dedicated motorcycle riding boots(these will get some hard usage) so I went with their "Boss" engineer style model, with a few custom mods. They are as follows-
        Cordovan(Was told by some fellas on here who know much more about Wesco Boots,the correct color is Burgandy Domain leather, if it's was called "hooker in with a red dress domain leather" I'd be fine with that.. My boot collection is getting quite colorful-plenty of black, a couple of Browns, indigo blue and now this purty color no matter what's it's name is,lol!)throughout
        Motor Patrol last
        Vibram 705 half soles &
        Double midsole dyed brown
        Extra long instep strap
        I am very much looking forward to experiencing what y'all have been talking about as far as craftsmanship and high line materials. If any other members would like to share a picture or two and a description of their Wesco Boss' that would be fantastic! Also would anyone know how and where to order custom brass roller buckles for these boots? Thanks in advance and when the boots arrive and some miles have been put on them I'll let y'all know what I think of them!

              @DarrenH If you don't mind me asking, how much was the upcharge for the cordovan domain leather?  I'm just spitballing some ideas for my next pair.

                  The upcharge for the "Domain" leather is $40

                            Yes sir… It's not the brown domain I think the picture came out alittle dark. Let me see if I can get the true representation of the color. Do y'all sell the solid brass roller buckles for these boots? The instep buckle being 7/8" I'm finding it impossible to find anything stylish. So if you do carry them I'd like to purchase a set.. If you all don't carry them could u please point me in the right direction to secure a pair?! Thanks in advance

                                  The dealer here in the states that sold me the boots said it was Cordavan Domain leather. If it's Burgandy Domain leather it makes ZERO difference to me, I purchased them cause in my eyes they are some beautiful boots that will stand up to the wear and tear from riding.

                                    @DarrenH yours look brown to me but it's hard to tell.  Anyway they are definitely bust yourself in the mouth gorgeous.  I use mine for riding (and everything else) - along with about a zillion other Wesco men and women.  You sure won't have any issues in that regard…

                                      Well if this color debate is over?! Lol 😉 Can someone please point me in the right direction where I can secure a set(two top @5/8" & two bottom @7/8")of custom Solid brass roller buckles? I heard of a master Cobbler located in Japan that has some amazing/well priced pieces. So any information would be great, this gentlemans website is in Japanese 😔 Or if there are others who make these types of buckles can u please share their contact information? Thanks in advance..

                                        Yes, you are correct. That Logo is something approved some time ago for them exclusively to use:)!

                                        @dylantbmayes:

                                        From memory this question has been asked before, @Beerhammer.

                                        This 'old school' logo is actually one used (exclusively?) by Wesco Japan, so that's probably a no for on request.

                                        Care to clarify, @Dylansboss#2 🙂

                                          You can treat the Rough-out Burlap as you would our other non-wax leathers. The only thing is, that many have probably seen- the oil and wax to help condition and waterproof will darken the leather. If you are trying to just hide a scrape or a scuff, you may be able to use a metal brush….to comb the leather and see if you can hide the spots. Roughing it up a little more like that tends to help hide scrapes along the way.
