WESCO

[Giles]

You have time, but it bumps up the cost a lot….

[Broark]

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.

[Giles]

Packer…....

Just let me know if you want some, I'll get em made.  Delivered a pair to @Tempvs recently, I think he is smitten….

[Tempvs]

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

[Broark]

Damn, very nice.
Thinking I'd get them in brown domain.
Price is 650, correct?

[Giles]

Yessir…..

My newest pair from the seconds page:

What's the sizing advice for Wesco's then? If I size down to a US8 in Redwings is it advisable to do the same with Wesco's?

[Bluegrass]

Those are awesome @Clint_D - very little love for big-footed on the 2nds page 

@spitfiredealer I suspect it's the same - red wing skips 12.5 so I wear 13, and I and can do 12.5 or 13 in Wesco. I would probably be 12.5 in red wing if there was such a thing.  but i'm sure you may get a better opinion from someone closer to your size…

[Clint_D]

Tell me about it @Bluegrass!  I saw there's another of your RM Williams build on the seconds page.  I think I'd be tempted to pick up a back-up pair at that price.

Yep

[steelworker]

Very nice @Clint_D !

[Tempvs]

Got my leather laces in, now there perfect!

[Tempvs]

Leather laces in now

[Broark]

Looks great with the leather laces, I'd love to see some side profile pics of the shoes while on foot too if you get the chance!

[Madame Buttonfly]

We need to get together @Tempvs so that you, Alex and Giles can have a group "burgundy booties" shot (they look great, by the way) 

We've had great feedback about these, considering offering them as Bootery standard build.
