The multiple different shades of indigo and black denim paired with black marks from my boot jack convinced me to throw caution to the wind and go ahead and dub the burlap smooth out. I Left the top of the boot untreated, cause I figured I could always do it later.
Anyways, the color turned out pretty cool! Still a nice lighter brown shade, but now more of a honey color. I dig it.

Thanks guys! I love the untreated burlap, but I think I would prefer it on a pair of Foot Patrols (so the laces could provide contrast) or done in rough out when done as a pull on boot as the texture provides the nice dimension to the color. If I ever do a custom build, I'll probably do a Boss with Burlap Rough out base and black top half.
The color did mellow a bit overnight:

I ordered a 10EEE they may be a touch wide but it's making the break in easier! I usually get a lot of pressure on my instep but I don't have any in these.

Anyone have any recommendations or experience with the JH Classics?
I've been looking for an oxford like casual shoe I can wear daily when it's warmer out and I've seen some of the makeups from Wesco Japan and they look pretty sweet. I like what I've seen with the White's oxford for Bakers, but I really want some Wescos.
Still need to order my Walking Boots as well, but that'll have to wait until this summer so I have them by the time the summer has gone away.
I'm thinking lace to toe, Vibram 1010 sole but I'm undecided on leather. Thinking maybe redwood rough out, brown or brown domain rough out or either of those in their smooth side versions too…
Also weird question: could these be worn without socks? -
I have The Bootery pair in Olive Burlap. The design, construction and materials are all excellent. I especially like the fit which is comfortable but secure. They are easy to lace and unlace, because I think, something about the design means you don't have to lace tightly.
I wouldn't wear without socks. I suppose you could, but my guess is it wouldn't take long before they developed a pretty ripe smell. They are also quite rigid so unless the fit is perfect you'll probably get blisters.
Your ideas sound great, that brown roughout [emoji1419]

Thanks for the reply, that's the info I was looking for in regards to socks. Figured they were pretty hefty so it would be a no go! But I'm okay with that, I have a pair of Yuketen's for that.
I think a brown domain rough out or redwood rough out would be great, since they have a slightly lighter color than the brown. We'll see!
