      @DarrenH:

      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..

      Try this. His buckles are great.  http://hukurokuju.com/repair/buckle/#  There are other places to get decent buckles as well, but I don't know the details. Like Brass (Tokyo) or Hollywood Trading Company.

      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.

              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

                  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,

                      You can use a conditioner on it, but we recommend a wax for the domain leathers. Lincolns stain wax works great on it!

                          Thanks for clearing it up my friend. For whatever reason the 4 or 5 pairs of Wesco boots they are selling are all in what they are calling " Codovan Domain" leather?! Burgandy/cordovan domain makes no difference @ all to me. I bought them because of Wesco's reputation and they are(in my humble opinion) some of the most badass engineers I've ever seen. I'll let y'all know how I feel about them today, just got notice they are on the truck to be dropped off today!

                            @Beerhammer  Unfortunately, we cannot make one with that combo. We recently recertified our safety toe boots. We had to test each combination. Seeing that we had to pay for each boot combo, we had to put a limit on it at some point. My apologies for the inconvenience, we just didn't really sell any of the safety toe and #1010 combo's.

                                You gentlemen were correct on the color, I can't understand why a Wesco retailer would get the color wrong? Nevertheless the color and boots are incredible..

                                  Just glad you are stoked on them. They are the Burgundy Domain, and they are beautiful. We were the first to request as well as have the domain made for us from the tannery, I have heard there are other boot makers out there that are looking to carry it ….:)

                                      What are the benefits or the "Domain" leather? (It's qualities and the proper care, I think I just read, maybe your suggestion, that this leather performs best with "leather WAX"? Thanks so much in advance!
