        @steelworker:

        the MP toe is narrow to begin with, if you sized down you might be pinched length and width. I'm normally a D but if I order another MP toe I'm going to E.

        There's an MP 1339 last which runs narrow  and an MP95 last that actually runs wide, but 99% of motor patrol boots I see are 1339.

        For now I'm planning on going true to brannock size on my foot patrol. I figure if it's a bit big I can use a thicker insole and get long laces to tie around the ankle.

          Hey everybody. I’m new to the forum and to my everlasting shame I’ve JUST discovered Wescos. Yes, I’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years. LOL

          I just received my leather samples in the mail from Chris to help me decide which brown tone to go with and I’m totally sold on the British Tan. It’s even better in person! I’m just waiting on my fit kit to arrive so I can get that back to them and then I’ll be pulling the trigger on a pair of custom Hendriks. Can’t WAIT.

          My question is if anyone has any real life pics of the blue stitching option on a brown boot (style doesn’t matter, just want to see what the blue on brown looks like) and if anyone has gotten the orange stitching option for the soles? I’m not going to mix and match the leathers on this first pair, but I’m thinking it might be cool to throw a different stitch in there.

          Thanks in advance for any pics and thanks to everybody for all the great pics that have been posted in this thread already!

              Hi there.

              I don’t know of anyone on here with that kind of combo but do check out wesco_japan on IG. Lots of interesting combos there.

                Thanks for the recommendation Neph93. Much obliged. I wasn’t planning on getting too crazy but then I started playing around with the custom builder. Oops.

                  If you google it and click on images you might find something close to what you’re thinking about.

                    I’d been through hundreds of google images already and hadn’t found it. That’s why I thought i’d ask here. Thanks to Neph93 I found it within a few minutes!

                        Standard leathers are heavyweight oil tanned with a matte finish
                        Domain leathers are not quite as heavy, but are waxed with a glossy finish

                            Standard oil-tanned will take a medieval style ass-kicking and when your done, it’ll be raising it’s eyebrow at you and smirking like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

                              Thank you @spacecadet

                              I did not know that @Giles so that means I could do a nice Miliatry Style Water Polish on the Tie Domain, that would probably look funny as hell on the thick Workboots.

                              @neph93 That is a fact, hence why most Work boots are Oil Tanned. I would prefer a Classic "Lohgerbung" (Veg Tanning) but that isn´t too common in the USA I think. My Grandpa used to be a Shoemaker, they only did vegtanned Leather from a Local Tannery (obviously longout of Business like most Veg Tannerys) with wooden Nails in their Shop, these Shoes were absolutly Rock Solid.

                                Wesco had a veg-tanned option available on their site until recently, also last time I looked they hadn’t updated their site with the new leathers.  So what’s on the site and what you can actually get on a custom build may not be the same thing. If you go through Giles/Alex then they will be able to find out what’s around.

                                  I will def go through Giles or Alex, everything else would be an unnecessary hustle. I already thought that there are some Leathers Missing, on IG I saw a grey one for example.

                                    I still see builds periodically in the natty veg on Wesco Japan's IG feed. The build-a-boot on Wesco's site has only shown it as an option briefly in the last couple years. It's a fantastic leather. Definitely worth checking with G/Alex or Chris at Wesco for availability

                                      Probably old news here but didn't realize Jason Mamoa wore Wesco. I know he wears IH so I guess I shouldn't be surprised

                                            I wonder if he seeks out these brands himself, or if has a fashion stylist like a lot of celebrities? Guess it doesn’t matter as he clearly has good taste [emoji108]
