Thanks, I’m quite pleased with them. I’ll likely swap out the nylon laces for rawhide ones once I’m allowed to venture out of the house again. Undecided on the kiltie though.
I love the aesthetics of kilties and wouldn’t want to go without. They look especially good on these I think. They also have a valid function. Again, rawhide laces are my choice as a rule, and will look excellent here.

Thanks for the confirmation, these were factory seconds and it didn't specify the last. I really lucked out on the sizing, they're half a size down from my MP Boss size but wider (9109 EE vs 1339 E) and the fit is dead-on.

@Chris at Wesco or anyone, Can the bee oil be used on my Romeo brown domain rough out? Thanks?

I just cleaned mine ( they weren’t cool dirty) with saphir Omni nettonyant. And it worked. Now I want to condition

I have a lot of boots I love but damn it… just bury me in these.

SPECIAL REQUESTS: Vintage triple stitching please!Basically, I went for a combination of 3 models of the Boss I want but unable to obtain: Wesco Boss Horsehide 100th anniversary Japan exclusive, Wesco Boss Lynch Silversmith 100th anniversary 2017 model, and Ken Igari’s ridiculous black rough out double midsole monster. I can’t get actual silver roller buckles unless someone volunteers to make them available and I’m not doing a double midsole boot again like Igari’s. Looking forward to July when I get them.

Thanks! I will say I reached out to Lynch Silversmith first but they said they don’t make individual silver buckles . I wish they did as they were the inspiration for this boot. I even made the outsole thread black to reflect their black model’s outsole.
Made some adjustments on the order. Shaved from 10 inch to 9 inch based on the flexibility of the sole and all the threads are black.

Yesterday afternoon I was glued to my window waiting for the UPS man to deliver my new boots.
Here they are! Wesco 7500 in brown Horween horsehide. I went with the MP toe and a Vibram 430 sole with a natural midsole. -
Thanks guys, I love them. I wasn't quite sure about the natural midsole when I ordered them but as soon as I saw the contrast of the natural and deep brown tones I knew it was the right call.
I ordered the Black Bear x Wesco Roughrider Plainsmen Jobmasters around the same time and I got the shipping notification for them today. Gonna be a slow break in process for these two pairs stuck in my house!
