It looks like brown domain to me not cordovan domain - am I wrong?
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

That looks like burgundy domain….
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.

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:)!
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.

Hello!
They are Burgundy Domain, not cordovan, but great nonetheless!

@Dylansboss#2 What about those spray finishes that protect suede from water - would that work on rough out without changing the color too much? Would it F' them up?
-
We don't generally recommend those sprays…..not to say they haven't been used. I stick with our wax that we have made for our leathers, but I can always send a small piece to try it on!

I don't want to try the spray, I will go with the Wesco product if I do anything… maybe I shouldn't be fussy - they ain't church boots.

Thanks for the information.. The gentleman in Japan with the custom brass buckles is whom I'd like to order them from.. Fantastic products he offers. My one question is how do you go about ordering and paying for the items being his whole webpage is in Japanese??! Lol anybody with experience in the ordering process please let me know how y'all did this! Thanks in advance..
Thanks for the information bro!

Takeshi (Hukurokuju) will respond in English to inquiries - i think there is a link on the site (bottom of page) for "Contact Us" - and he has brass buckles as well as nickel - at least he did when I got mine. I told him I needed a full set for wesco boss and he asked me "brass or nickel, and flat or shiny finish". I sent him the money via paypal and he sent me the buckles in the mail. Eazy peazy.
P.S. check his blog for great boot porn.

Regardless of color, those look damn good!

Hi Darren,
The leather on your boots is Burgundy Domain. I am the Sales Manager for Wesco, we don't offer a cordovan burgundy domain. It's a great leather and ages very well.
Hope that clears it up:)!
Cheers,
CW
Here's just another view.. The retailer in the US where the boots were purchased from says it is cordovan domain leather that is custom made for their shop only? So I'm looking forward to what that shoe box says
The debate rages on!! Lol
