I found this forum thread an incredible resource and a wealth of information when trying to formulate my custom order.  I figured I would post some pictures in case others might find them helpful as a resource. I loved the way these turned out so much I decided to order another pair done up the same way, but in Burlap Rough Out.  I'll post pictures of those when I have a chance.

Note: the direct inspiration for these came from a collaboration between Ship John and Wesco (Trigger Boot) done a few years back and I wanted to give credit where credit is due.

@Bums_Fan they look tremendous. Elegant and robust at the same time.

They're in the main hallway of the house, and Paula has not complained…......And, I cant believe she has not seen them....

[Eisenherz]

they fit into the venerable surroundings (floor, door, threshold)
So Paula saw an harmonic overall picture

That must be it

Then, there's these in the kitchen…...

Even on the kitchen table… occasionally

Finally got my custom Boss order in the mail yesterday!

These are very similar to the Mister Lou.

Some subtle differences, though:

9165 Last
Normal black leather
11" height
vibram 430 sole
waxed edge treatment
vintage (3 needle) uppers

Looking forward to many years and miles out of these beauties.

Congrats @mstrsnkr I have two pairs on the black oil tanned leather, one similar to yours and one rough out pair on the Boss toe. It is incredible stuff. Insanely rugged, fantastic water resistant capabilities, and while very stubborn it keeps getting better with a little bit of care and a lot of wear.
