Thanks buddy, I’m still in disbelief how it all went down
Sounds like it was meant to be!! Nice pick up, welcome to the forum BTW!!

Awesome boots and story to go with them. You need to go out and buy a lottery ticket.
hahahaha
at this point it’s been spades for two days straight

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

Just talked to Chris at Wesco
He looked up the the original custom order and
this Warren is built with a jobmaster last/toe and standard 3 lift heel -
Welcome to the forum @Giallo Biafra now that you have your Wesco boots we need to get you into some IH denim.

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

headed my way and couldn't contain my excitement any more
Thanks @Chesson for the help and dealing with my countless "Are they done yet" emails lol

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.

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.

Thanks guys!! They were influenced by multiple boots I have always loved but could never justify.
It took a while because the 2060 is not a sole Wescos traditionally stocks - and maintaining the Morrison profile with some boss bits and details was fun.
I finally skipped them on and immediately they are like slippers - insanely comfy but even more than other boots with similar soles due to Wescos liberal use of leather in the footbed.
Exceptionally happy as they are Black Tie Domain RO so the inside is as luxurious as the exterior!
Little details like khaki stitching behind the back pull and untreated natural welt I thought made them shine
