            Thank you @madmonday and @Black Orchid, wearing my 555-01s which are about 2.5 years old (but I didn't wear them for about a year as I got too fat  😞 - pleased to say I'm now back in them… just...!)

                  So you're basically making my summer boots? FML  ::)  😉

                      I was looking hard at the burlap for the engineers, it's lovely, but it would be limited to dryish, warmish weather wear.

                      That on/off issue is very relevant here too. All boots come off at the door in all homes and many places of work. I had to seriously work on my attitude to socks when I moved here. They're on show a lot more than in the UK.

                      But so I'm clear these are a personal purchase rather than a potential IH build? They look very good.

                        No, they will be for general release, VMC will likely take them too if I get the build right that is  😃

                          Very nice. Potentially practical and stylish. I really like the side pull straps on the right boots.

                              Beautiful. I've just ordered my first pair via G and these look a similar build with the exception of the burlap rough out shafts…. Which I'm now thinking that maybe I should've gotten 😃

                                  That build looks really nice G, I'd like to see it in brown rough out.
                                  Still need to get those Wesco Walking Boots going too…

                                    I thought I might have 😃 But I have thought pretty hard about rough out two tone shafts already and although I think they look great they aren't what I want for my first custom Wesco's. In addition to being sturdy and resilient I want them to be somewhat traditional.

                                    You should know that I'm doing the sums and a pair of Wesco's added to the annual budget won't put that great a dent in the kids college fund 😉

                                      @Giles when you say switching from western to round toe, is that the boss toe - or packer - or something else altogether?  Anyway I like the idea of a shorty.  Looks good.

                                            They are just perfect. Running them in with yellow laces before switching to rawhide ones.
