After looking at the leathers, these are brown domain. Perhaps me ordering in early february when the leather was still available is why..
My other thing I wanted was a beefy boot that looked good with slim jeans. I always envied how great @neph93 ‘s 555-03 looked with his smokejumpers, and I think these achieve a similar aesthetic
Paired with he 777-142:

Funny you should mention the Smokejumpers as they came to mind straight away. Also, having got my hands on the IHWE-5 the roughout brown domain is very similar to the roughout used on the Smokejumpers in both colour and texture.
These will serve you well and look great at the same time. Again, lovely bit of design speccing. Bravo.

Such a sick makeup. What’s the height on the heels +1 or +2 lifts? I’m thinking of the same makeup but with all smoothout British tan or possibly the new lighter chestnut brown oil tan leather. I’d have to do double midsoles with a 10 in height since I already have so many ankle to mid range boots. I’m loving the height of my stock Jobmasters being 10 in.
-
I had them specced with 1 lift higher than standard, and with the double midsoles, it measures 8 heel layers, the 705 sole, and two midsoles. They are quite high, but a dream to stand on.

Shit Adam! Those are amazing. Worth the verbal
Assault that your wife may or may not have issued! Well
Done amigo -
I have a routine when introducing new stuff (which she does not know of these yet)
1. Wear for a while without her seeing and make them look not new
2. Wear them nonchalantly with stuff she sees all the time.
3. If she says something, I’ll say, I got those old boots resoled, they are much better now don’t you think?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

^^ you’ve got em in brass Adam! Brass cojones.

@Dstauffer how exactly did you go about contacting them? I emailed but haven’t heard anything back.
-
I just make sure my wife doesn’t see a new pair for a while if my purchases aren’t spaced apart enough for her liking. haha
Chris at Wesco is mailing me samples of the British Tan and Chestnut Brown leathers for comparison. I can post about it here if anyone’s interested.
-
@spacecadet please do. I’m very interested.
-
Me too, both sides please.
-
Sure thing guys. Chris even told me to hit him up once I receive the samples to give me more info and details. Seems like a great guy.
-
Finally had the chance to take some pictures of my custom wescos jh classic, black roughout.
-
They look sweet with the cargo pants. Almost like brothel creepers. I have a thing for black roughout too although I don’t own any yet. Congrats @Max Power
-
Thanks guys. In fact i bought them with my black jeans in mind and as my whites oxfords were the most versatile and most worn pair i owned i figure they will be a great addition.
