    The horsehide on the S&S collab pair on the right looks really good in photos, wish something like that was more widely available.

      @J-diddy:

      Does anyone else have this problem?

      My wife recently asked me if my newish Wesco’s were new. I said no I’d shown her them already (which was the case), she «I don’t really take much notice anymore, they’re nice though». It was the greatest conversation we’ve ever had.

      I’m one pair behind you on the Wescos. Four pairs of pull-ons one pair of short shaft lace ups. I have a pair of Vibergs and a pair of Dundas as well though 🤪

        I see 0 problems here

        Seconded. In fact, there’s lots more room to accommodate more pairs on that bench.

            I dig these Wesco Jobmasters from Division Road. Any ideas as to fit on these compared to other brands? These remind me of the Red Wing Lineman’s [emoji108]

              The anniversary engineer boots look great. Naildown construction instead of stitchdown is interesting as well.

                @Giles I gues you could make some boots with exactly these specs, right? I Need to save Money at the Moment, but would definitely try to get those at some point.

                    In principle yes he can. The only possible  issue is whether or not Division Road have a deal with Wesco which protects the build. Even then that deal would probably have a time limit and may only be applicable in the USA.

                      Ok, thanks. The Brown ones are Close to my dream set up and I hope that I can afford them anytime soon.

                        It’s hard exactly to tell from that pic but they look like 6” Jobmasters using British domain, Lace to toe, lined, raptor sole, white heavy stitching, brown upper stitching, nylon laces.

                          ^ Unlined with rolled top and Vibram Christy, otherwise pretty much that.

                          I think this is a rather bland Jobmaster with nothing particularly interesting going for it, bar the British Tan leather which looks good. The IH-collab Jobmaster in brown RO with Gloxi-sole that @Max Power already has is much nicer.

                            Ah…rolled top. That makes more sense. I did think a full lining would have made them unnecessarily expensive.

                              Let's take a closer look at that pair:

                              Not my style at all but this is a special-looking boot.

                                That horsehide is available at Wesco, I saw it when I was at the factory in Feb. You could do a custom in your style from it with ease.

                                  Have you considered the Red Wing Lineman 2904's? I don't know how they compare to Wesco's but they're a lot cheaper.

                                    not bad, not bad

                                    I cheated and went to the Division Road web store since I like them as well.  Here's what they have listed:

                                    •British Tan Domain – Seidel (USA)
                                    •7" Height
                                    •65 Last - D Width
                                    •Unlined
                                    •Lace to Toe Jobmaster Upper
                                    •Vibram® 4014 Christy Sole
                                    •Natural Midsole
                                    •Brass Eyelets
                                    •Gusseted Tongue
                                    •Partial Structured Toe
                                    •Steel Shank with Full Leather Insole
                                    •Natural Rawhide Leather and Nylon Workman Laces
                                    •British Tan Domain Kiltie
                                    •Double Rapid E Stitch
                                    •Stitchdown Construction

                                    So I think you are only one or two credits short of having your Doctorate in Wesco builds. I am weak for British Tan Domain on almost every build I encounter.

                                      Thanks for all the replies. I know those Red Wings, but they just don't do it for me anymore. Of course the Division Road Jobmasters are Close to the rough Outs I have, but it's just my favourite boot & combination of mateirals and shape. The british tan is just so nice. But a custom build in horeshide could also be something.

                                        It's interesting how the Wesco site offers more than meets the eye - quite literally so, as you need to get creative to be able to custom-build a "Hendrik" or a "Johannes" and there might be more such models, that are there but you would never know by just looking around.

                                          (first real post so mods feel free to move if I'm in the wrong place)

                                          WESCO seemed to be having a sale on their factory seconds the last few weeks, and I picked up a pair of veg tan Boss's with a Vibram 700 sole for $140 delivered and these beauties for $95 delivered.  :o

                                          According to the seconds label, the 'uppers lean back slightly' but nothing at all noticeable.

                                          (pictures after a few days wear)

                                          From a small amount of digging and this stamp, I think they may have been samples for the Japanese market?
