    @Bluegrass:

    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.

    Will do…Thanks so much bro!

        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!

                                        Saw it several times in stores, shops and whatever, online and in real life. Some people think Cordovan is a color that looks like #8 or burgundy. But it´s the butt from a feckin horse 😃

                                          The Domain is a little thinner than our standard oil tanned leathers. It has a softer feel and breaks in a bit easier. We recommend on Oil Tanned leathers to clean with warm water and oil them for treatment. The waxed leather is actually recommended to polish. Customers polish our Oil Tanned as well, but we don't recommend it:)
