@ben2t  Wow, that's a crazy good deal!

[Finkster]

^what he said … nice steal - Congrats! @ben2t

[ben2t]

yesterday i did tried to get the black Jobmaster even if it is .5 smaller for my size, but it keep denying my card payment and when i check  Wesco today its gone on their website, some lucky bastard beat me to it. lol

Anybody know the dealer that did the recent cordovan foot patrols? @Chris at Wesco ?

[Bluegrass]

I'm officially "Romeo-curious" - anyone have them, pics, thoughts???

@Chris at Wesco any advice on sizing vs. other Wesco boots? What is the standard last?  And seems like the wedge sole is a popular choice, I'd love to see some with other soles.

@Beerhammer  It was a direct customer that sent me the hides:)

@Bluegrass It would be our #65 shoe last. It runs about a half size larger than the standard Jobmaster last.

@Chris at Wesco

So….the question now is....how many SQ FT do you need to make a pair of boss boots?

[Dylansboss2]

At least 12 sq feet of usable leather!

i uesd mink oil on it 

[neph93]

Yeah, mine will see a lot of rain, ice and snow, which is why I went oil-tanned, also because it takes up mink oil well. Do you treat the visible edges of the mid soles with anything?

[pillowPANTS]

Question about midsole color??
There is a pair i want for a decent price but they have a black midsole. I dont want all black, i want a natural midsole. Is the black dyed all the way through? Or is just the edge done? Curious if i could sand away the black color

[neph93]

I remember I read somewhere that they're stained/painted on the edges. But whether or not it penetrates or is easy to remove I don't know.

[Dion]

IMO you should grab them as the midsole will darken with wear either way.

Just hate the all black "rubber boot" look. I know it will darken, but id never let it get black
