              Awesome boots and story to go with them. You need to go out and buy a lottery ticket.

                  I want to send Wesco a photocopy of the original order form that was in the shoebox, in order to know the exact specs - but this is my best guess:

                  Custom Warren 10E

                  8” height
                  black horsehide
                  MP toe (MP95 last)**
                  unstructured/soft toe
                  unlined
                  vibram 700
                  single midsole
                  waxed heels and edges
                  standard height heels
                  brown lightweight upper stitching
                  whight heavyweight double outsole stitching
                  brass eyelits/hooks
                  nylon laces
                  brown (or random) inserts
                  no toe caps
                  no half slip
                  no welder’s tongue
                  *request old logo stamp

                  ** I’m honestly not sure on the last or toe.  Maybe it is a round toe, either way I’ll see if I can get the original order specs placed back in June

                      He looked up the the original custom order and
                      this Warren is built with a jobmaster last/toe and standard 3 lift heel

                          Thanks, glad I signed  up and while I don’t have any IH jeans yet.  I recently scored a very lightly worn IH type 1 jacket.  It’s the black overydye collab IH did with Pronto from Thailand in like 2017 I think.

                          Definitely will post about it once I get some fades goin,  looks good with my new black Warrens for sure.

                          It’s interesting how my Warrens ended up being jobmasters in disguise.  The Warren has to be the most versatile for customizing of all the Wescos.  Although, I did see some interesting jobmasters on the Wesco Japan blog —  like this one with a MP toe.  Just wild how many different looks each option provides

                            The IHxPxT1. That was a beautiful jacket.

                                    I'd love a pair of Wesco custom builds, but my negative experience with Viberg has put me off. So many variables that can go wrong.

                                    If I could guarantee a perfect for I'd go for it.

                                      Shorty Morrison on that sole makes for a roper that would be at home on the catwalk. Stylish stuff.

                                        What is your concern? There many experienced Wesco enthusiasts here and in Gosport who could help you hammer something out I think.

                                          Wesco’s lasts are not “roulet” like Vibergs.. I don’t think you would need a custom last to get a good fit. Order a few try in boots from Giles and see what size works best and then customize a platform you like.

                                          More pics 🙂
