    @jdl1279:

    The veg will water spot if left untreated. Mine have a few spots, but I suspect they won't be noticeable with a clean. I can say that their veg tan is beautiful. It takes a soft buttery feel with some wear. Funny enough I want a Burlap RO Boss for my next pair

    Thank you, sir.

    If I go vegtan I think I'll oil them straight out of the box. Should help with repelling water, no?

    I'm leaning heavily towards the burlap but there's a Japanese made pair of boss with the harness strap on IG that I can't stop staring at…

      That's about as much as I've gotten and haven't really cared if they got wet

        Oh cool. That's what I'd consider the totally acceptable result of using them. I was mire concerned about big ugly stains. Cheers dude.

          You could oil or lp them straight away and that would likely reduce spotting. I've thought about a few other builds but there's a Burlap RO Boss that keeps hitting my feeds…is it bad that I'm talking about another build and currently have one due to complete this week?

            Perfectly normal mate…I've had about 5 browser tabs open to the Wesco build page ever since I specced my first pair a year ago.

                This looks like the bump toe last to my untutored eye. Am I right?

                  Looks like it could be. This is the one I've been lusting after, with a few mods that is

                    Very nice. If I go burlap I'll have brown dyed soles and the #430 also. Seriously considering the harness straps though.

                      Do it! I think I'm gonna swap the outsole for the 700 and do a two tone with the shaft when I get to it. Of course the plan is to order through G for that sweet buckle upgrade too

                        Harness straps are going to look silly on the MP toe aren't they?

                            I saw that and agree they look badass. But that monster lug sole and the balls out top straps make it work, I think. Doing it in burlap or vegtan might be interesting but I'm not sure I'm that brave.

                                A quick clean and a touch of LP took care of the water spots
