    Those "ribs" wear off in no time flat.  Seems to make no difference to grip….

      @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?

      I'll have them the middle of June when I return to the States, post pic's then. The upcharge was $125, kinda steep but still under $600 so all's good.

        Not a bad upcharge considering the premium leather upgrade. Please post pics when they arrive.

        I was on Instagram earlier and saw that Wesco will be replacing their standard brown oil tan with a lighter brown color. The following pic shows the current brown oil tan, chestnut replacement oil tan, and British tan domane for comparison.

            Does anyone out there have any details about the special makeups for Wesco’s 100 year anniversary? There should be some preorders coming for a few different makeups.

              @Stuart.T re. our short discussion on the RW thread, here are some examples of Wesco Boss/Morrisons with either lowered logger heels or Christy soles, taken from Wesco Japan's IG feed. You should check out Wesco's boot builder tool for custom options, https://www.wescoboots.com/builder/MensCustomBoot.aspx?id=Boss although fair warning, it's a rabbit hole…

                @neph93 thanks man, appreciate that. I really like the last pair of boots. That sole Is a good compromise for me. I went on the boot builder last night and created a grail pair of boots…o it $925 without shipping to UK! That's an expensive mistake if fit is not right. I can see the merit in investing. There's no doubt they are well built boots and would do any job intended of them. I'm still on the fence (when that usually happens I fall off the fence and buy things anyway!).

                  $925? That's impressive  😃

                  I just spec'ed an 8" version of that last black roughout boot you like without instep straps for $650.

                  Btw, the thing to do is to order through Giles or Alex. They will quote you a full price including shipping and so forth.

                    you could try any Wesco boot from Giles store(off-line or online), check the correct size and fit, return it and then order(from Giles) any custom boot you want in the same size and last. In this case you would minimize the chance of wrong size or fit.

                      Damn you bastards. Stop taking away any excuses I could use. I'll give you my wife's number and maybe YOU can clear it with her!  😢

                        It says nothing about responsibilities towards other members infinitely better half’s, although there is a thread for that. You seem a thoroughly decent chap however and that thread is a gateway to dark arts and dire deeds...

                          But those burlap rough out boots were worth it, weren't they?

                            You mean mine? Oh hell yes. I have no problem paying what custom Wesco’s cost given what you get.

                              I did the try on boot but the problem was I ended up keeping the try on boots and now I’m thinking of jumping in on one of the 100th anniversary boots.  :o
