              They work fine with my 666s-19L, that are 7,5" on the hem (size W30L32)
              Jeans of the 555 family of same size are about 7,0" (that I can't wear because of my proportionally huge calves) and I think they are too much tapered for boots like these.
              BUT, if someone wearing, say, a size around 33-34, maybe he can go on even with 555!

                And thanks for the info. I'm leaning more and more towards these as summer boots.

                  Looking great! Hoping to see some more pics of these in action.

                    Summer? Mmh… Double midsole is the best insulation when outside is really cold. In addition, these boots are very, very heavy.

                      I know, I have a pair of custom boss in heavier leather, with a double mid. But I also live north of the arctic circle…

                          Point. But what about your winter boots?  😉

                            Winter boots are these: https://postimg.cc/image/4fhx5a0on/

                            and these:

                            http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5285.msg462138#msg462138

                            The vibram 420 and oil-tanned leather on the Wesco's, and the #100 and roughout on the Vibergs make them both good for the cold season.

                            The half sole and light coloured leather on the PO would be a winter disaster. But in summer…  😘

                              These are about as lovely as a pair of boots get.

                                      Not exactly the best pairing, but funny enough. I believe.

                                      This is for fun, I usually wear boot under my jeans, not like this  🙂

                                      but, by the way, the ones in this photo were a pair of LVC 501Z, which are about 7" hem (same of 555 and 777 in my size, W29 L32). This is the only way you can wear TBWE-PO with those.

                                          I hope these stick around for a long time.  Best looking boot ever.  I bought the Red Wing Pecos like a month before seeing these so won't be able to justify the purchase for a while.  But if these are still around there's no question.

                                            @Goosyphus - if it helps to justify, I will say these and the RW Pecos are very different in nearly every aspect. I too have the pecos, and I had the wesco samples in the smooth out, full height version of these and can attest to how different they truly are.

                                            The wesco have a round toe, while the pecos has a more classic roper toe. the color of the two is also vastly different. The wesco is more of a light tan while the pecos are almost orange. Also, the sole and heel is really what sets the two apart - the wesco has the double mid sole and the higher heel, which works much better for jeans with lager leg openings and thicker cuffs. While the RW looks fine with straight tapered bottoms, the wesco will look fantastic with straight and slim straight models as well as the slims due to the shorter shaft.

                                            I like my pecos, but these would easily overshadow them in very way possible.
