    @Crashed I think I know what you mean now, something like this?:

    In which case you’re right, Wesco don’t do something that stylised. I’m not up on cowboy boots but I understand Luchesse to be a respected brand in that ouvre. They do custom builds I believe.

        The closest Wesco do you a cowboy boot is their western toe. Not squared at the toe, but quite narrow and with “roper” style uppers. You can get them done with any vibrant sole your like and double mids, and even add harness straps

        At the end of the day, Wesco have a focus on practical work boots historically. That is their background. Have a look at Luchesse. Their custom builder gives you the option of a western style boot with their “nr.7” toe, which resembles what you’re after. I doubt they put a lugged vibrant #100 on their boots but that could be customised aftermarket.

          Yeah i'm flogging a dead horse and i may as well continue buying a pair of these every year https://www.bikersparadise.co.uk/Renegade-Hi-Waxy-Cowhide-Bike-Boots.html

          But thanks for taking the time to reply . So near yet so far is what frustrates me , The Wesco is 5 times more expensive but worth it if they had the style i want  😢

            3. Square toes, which come in a variety of squareness, from subtle box toes to the broad square toes, have gained popularity over the past fifteen years. The “John Wayne” toe is a narrow square, also called a box toe, a punchy toe, or some other name depending on the company. The wide, square toe is the preferred choice for frat brothers, West Texas landmen, and rodeo cowboys.

            John Wayne huh …...... i must be getting old  😃

              What do people prefer in "Buying & Selling" ?

              • a single item per post

              • a collection of items per post

              each has its merits, interested to see preferences.
              would a poll be a good idea?

                Personally both as a seller and buyer I prefer multiple items per post as long as it isn’t too many.

                  I have no preference as a buyer,but as a seller I only list one at a time. So far that’s worked out for me.

                      Is it possible to put a silver snap cap from a GAH hat onto the IH hat?  My dog was kind enough to destroy my Good Art hat and I wanted to salvage something from it.

                          But you'll need to take off the existing snap and install the male part of a snap onto the cap.  2 parts and a hand or foot press needed…..

                            @Giles is this a genuine collab with Big Red Machine? Surprising if it is…

                                Interested to know how that came about, if that can be discussed in an open forum…

                                      It was from quite some time ago… I believe the red flannel lining is the same as was used on the IHV-21 which would dates it to some time in 2015. Exclusive collab and not many made.

                                        A lot of the London and Surrey Chapters buy IH and regularly pop down here.  They've been to a couple of our parties too.  Believe it or not, a thoroughly nice, courteous and polite bunch of chaps, always amazingly charming with Paula…..

                                        I thought I'd put my foot in it one day when the President of the London Chapter asked me if he could have a jacket we were sampling, I said "we don't make samples for fat fuckers", there was an awkward silence, then he pissed himself laughing 🙂
