      I like the Boss build @ Seawolf. Very nice. 😎

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

        @steelworker Thanks! I love those boots. It's the stock 10 inch Morrison with the western toe and whatever the western last is. I got fitted by Chris last time I was in Portland and fell in love with the Morrison as soon as I saw it. They were quite snug for the first couple weeks but at this point they're feeling pretty good.

        My buddy has the stock black Boss boots and the leather feels quite a bit more substantial than my British Tan boots. At this point I'm leaning more towards the Domain leather because I like the shine but I need to think on it for a few more days.

        @Jett129 I do like roughout but for my first engineer boot I want to keep it classic. I've been thinking about a burlap roughout Hendrik down the road after I can save some more cash. Gotta collect 'em all.

          @Palmer:

          Look what showed up at my house this afternoon!

          Beautiful build @Palmer .Was wondering what Morrison looks like in BT. Is that the MP toe?
          Stock black is heavier than BD, and I believe you can polish Bd where the stock black is oiled

          Truth.

          The oil tanned stock black is a thick, matte seriously water resistant leather. My first pair of Boss are made in it. I specced them so I could wear good looking engineers in arctic conditions. It performs amazingly but doesn’t take a shine and is very thick and heavy.

          BT  domain is a dress leather. I have the brown version. Waxed, easy to shine but takes marks and scuffs well (better than chromexcel for example). Slightly lighter and more flexible.

          If you want something smart and shiny then go domain. If you want badass biker then oil tanned.

              Yeah, I lined my first pair of oil leather Boss Boots. They're wonderful, but heavy. Breaking in the shaft was the hardest part of wearing those at first.

                I’ve lined the pair I have on order and gave hot up a fitting in width to fit wool/two pairs of socks in [emoji23]

                    My jobmasters are lined too. I like the lining, but I'm over it and won't go that direction anymore.

                        @brobles your pair has the black tie domain leather, right? I fear I might not like the BTD as much as the oil tan black leather in the Long run, which might lead me to getting the exact build in my jobmasters in a year or so. Right now I bought two pairs of the same Jeans again and think I will do the same with my boots.

                          No, this specific build is from Standard & Strange, which is on black tea-core chromexel horsehide. You can see some browns peek through here and there.

                            My Axebreakers arrived Thursday. All I can say is wow! They fit like a glove right out of the box. Snug in all the right spots. The problem with Wescos is that I'm always thinking about what I'll get next.

                            @brobles Your pair looks good with some wear. Between you, me, and a friend in my town that makes three pairs in AZ. Badass!

                            AZ's got some good boots on rotation!

                                  @Wander Holy traction! Those are badass, man. The Hendrik has such a good profile and that Vibram 100 sole looks absolutely brutal.

                                    Very nice!  When I saw the Division Road email about them doing a Wesco with "ebony domain" (black with brown pull-up), I immediately inquired about there being any more of the leather, because I had a black hendrick build in mind.  Unfortunately, they didn't have any more.  I feel like I want something with a tad more visual interest than straight up black, so I'll have to wait and see if something comes up.  The div road boots I mentioned:
