@Steffen:

What is the Difference between the Black Leather and Black Tie Domain Leather ?

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

[Giles]

Domain will take a wax polish, standard will not

[neph93]

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.

[Steffen]

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

[Steffen]

It seams that he is Friends with the Wesco Guys @gaseousclay , Wesco posted this too with the Caption: "When you get a text from @prideofgypsies to Watch @jimmyfallon and see the custom Boots you made him, and then he follows up with a post it’s been a good day. Thanks for the much appreciated support @prideofgypsies #jasonmomoa and they were distressed perfectly by @madeworn "

He wears them on lots of Events, a saw a Pic from Comic Con the other Day with the Wescos.

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]

“and they were distressed perfectly by @madeworn”

I Iike the guy as an actor/celebrity but that last bit makes me barf.

Then @jdl1279  shows up with his battered oil tan to show folks how it’s done [emoji1417]

Thanks @neph93 These were a lot of hard hours to get here and we've got many many more ahead

@atm23 Is this the Vibram 2021 Sole?

@Steffen That is correct!

@atm23:

@Steffen That is correct!

Thanks, is this a Custom Option at Wesco or did you had it installed later ?
