@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]

Be nice too. iPhone autospell.

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?

[Jett129]

If you go to the Wesco site you can build your own boots,once you’ve done that it’s commonly referred to as your build. Hope this helps.

[neph93]

The term «build» describes the specs of the entire build. The «last» is the form (traditionally made of wood) that the boot is built around.

They look like this:

So, like I read earlier" "a packer build, but on a XXXX last" just means the specs are identical to a packer (ie height, instep, lacing, etc), except for the last?

A latino is someone who makes neph93 happy.

@Dstauffer

The last will affect the instep and height is optional on Wesco custom builds but something like that.

In Wesco-speak you get the term «toe» refered to a lot (MP toe, Boss toe, bump toe etc). What that refers to is the last. So the standard Boss last (that you have on your burlap shorties) is different from the Motor Patrol last. Both my Wesco Engineers are Boss boots built on the Motor Patrol last. So they have all the features of a Boss (straps/stay/shaft cut/stitching) but the toe shape of a MP boot.

Amen to that [emoji28]

I have a soft spot for them as they are generally very hard to get pregnant….
