Just talked to Chris at Wesco

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

Those customs are awesome.
Been wearing my IHxDRxWesco’s for a couple weeks now. Just swapped the black horsehide kiltie in place of the brown. Thinking black rawhide laces could be good. With XHS too.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, Wesco did a knock out job at building them.
And glorious boots ^^^
Highly tempted for them to be my next pair as I’ve always wanted a Jobmaster and these are stealth cool..

General question about Wescos sizing — how do they run? Are they like (most) Red Wing or Lofgrens where it's a whole size down (in my experience), or is it more your normal size.
Curious because I wear a US 13 and didn't see that Wesco even make one, but maybe they do. Kinda interested in some Romeos.
