          They look ready for another 80 years @Jett129 !

          I’d like to see a picture of the wear on the shifting boot. What leather is it?

          The journey is the objective.

            I think back then it was just generic Black,I don’t remember there being the kind of selection that currently exists.

              I see hardly any gear shift wear, correct?

                  My guess is these are oil tanned. That stuff would survive a direct hit with a megaton device.

                    Correct! It's indestructible!

                      Over the years all my shifter pegs have been rubber coated. If that has any bearing.

                        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:

                        We have since brought in Charcoal leather, you can see it on the Foot Patrols below:)!

                            @Chris at Wesco thanks for posting that pic. You sent me a swatch of the charcoal but it’s way more helpful to see it on a boot. Still mulling another build. As I sure many here can relate: it’s not if but when.

                              Does anyone have experience with Alden and Wesco? How does the sizing compare? Thanks

                                  Congrats. Love the build. Burlap lining is an especially nice touch.

                                        Those look insane @Matty123. Did you put in an order for them?  😉

                                        I'm currently waiting on some Boss boots and a pair of Hendriks but I wouldn't mind getting some lace to toe Jobmasters.

                                          Noooot just yet.. I Do have a pair of romeos on order though. There’s a photo of a similar pair of romeos that I posted a page or so back.
