@Max:
Anyone?
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.

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.
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 ConstructionSo 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.

(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?

They look great!

U wot, m8? ??? I have been eyeballing their seconds like every day and never caught a whiff of any sale activity.
Congrats on scoring what looks like an early candidate for ”deal of the year”!

I don’t think I’ve ever hit an ‘add to cart’ button faster
They have a few pairs of women’s size Morrison’s for $95 still but all the real steals are gone.
The Boss’s have some loose grain on one vamp and a few water stains but for $120 I couldn’t say no so I’ve been using them as my beaters to get a real patina going - I’ll be sure to post when they’re good and battered
-
Yeah I didn’t sniff any sale either. Damn it

Just wanted to share some of the Limited Edition 1939's in case you hadn't seen them….
-
The 1939's are beauties!

beautiful last couple of builds
@nofunbadtimes you may have stumbled across some of the best values on new boots
i am super jealous

@Chris at Wesco was there a sale on the seconds list? I don’t know how I missed it.

This, and assuming there was, this begs an auxiliary question: why the nerds around here were not notified.

As far as I remember it was mostly Boss's and Morrisons and mostly in particularly small sizes (7 and 8's)
