WESCO

@jdl1279:

Looks like Brown domain to me

I’m on my phone, but a quick zoom in tells me you might be right. It looks like one of the domains.

Speaking of which, that British Tan Domain looks noice.

Saw that pic a few weeks ago on this forum. BTW, how long has Wesco been using domaine?

Here’s what Giles said about it in 2014.

“Bottom.  Jobmaster #9165 last.  It's an old boot as Wesco have not used that logo or that leather for an age”

[neph93]

Giles could answer that, but not in 2014 I think. It looks to be a waxed leather and similar to the domain at any rate.

[spacecadet]

Yeah. I’m sure you guys are right and it probably is domain leather. Could be the lighting or something but the color looks in between brown and burgundy to me.

Agree with you on the British tan domain. It looks fantastic.

Haha. What about sizing? You had a bunch of Viberg’s in the past, right? For Jobmaster last or bump toe (9109 last) is it a half size up from Viberg or the same size?

[Giles]

1/2 to 1

@Giles:

1/2 to 1

Interesting. What does the 1/2 to 1 depend on? One of my “internet shoe friends” who is the same Viberg size as me went up a half size in Wesco Jobmasters. He said the half size up were too short on him, but he’s been MIA the last couple of years. FWIW, he is typically a C width where I’m more an E width.

@Roknrolusa:

I just ordered some HH 10" regular toe Jobmasters with all Nickle eyelets. Just couldn't resist after seeing all those 100th Anniversary pic's.

Those sound sick. Please post pics when you get your hands on them. I’m considering a similar makeup. What was the up charge for horsehide?

They are lovely aren't they. Looks like LTT Jobmaster, 7" or 8" shaft, natural double mids, the Vibram #705 sole, yellow midsole stitching, wine heavy stitching and brown upper stitching to me.

Mmmmm….. "Latina" 

[Matty123]

Hahaaa!  that’s hilarious. I won’t even fix it. The patina will
Be nice too. iPhone autospell.

[UnTucked]

I Google'd "Latina" + "boots" for a funny pic….. None found, lol

Meh… my Wesco game is fairly decent. Stops there though. It’s the result of too many misspent evenings (that stretched into nights) geeking out with their build tool on the internet. Probably should have been staring at Latinos instead...

[neph93]

Uh… patina. I meant patina [emoji56]

[Dstauffer]

ok, I'm super confused and am going to sound like a real noob here, but what is the difference between a "build" and a "last"?

I have been reading through there and seeing things like "a packer build, but on a XXXX last"….isn't the last a part of the build?
