Wesco offer one and two inches, so that is probs two and then strapped tight.

That being said, I’m sure you could ask for as long as you want if you are willing to pay for it, so they could be three inches.

I have seen some of 6 (on a Japanese destined pair)

The next one will have 2 inch ???
I shouldn’t plan for another one to be honest

Can anyone perhaps offer some insight on jobmaster (LTT) vs MP95 sizing? Same size in both?

You're probably right. On the Standard & Strange page, they don't specify length. Just says that they're extra long, for that vintage styling.

I'm not the biggest fan of the longer strap, but I can live with it.

The JM is basically the Boss toe, with added action of laces. I go same size for Boss and MP.

Saw my boots at the finishing line during Wesco and Good Art's Instagram Live video yesterday. They're almost done!

Sweet! That is pretty cool.

…@Palmer that's great news man! That means it won't be long for mine!

...unfortunately for me I wear a EE at minimum which relegates me to the 'custom' shop for all boots. Nothing off the rack.

[Palmer]

Just got my final payment invoice. Looks like I'll be getting my boots any day now!

@vaquero357 I'm a 14.5 so all my boots are custom too.

[Alex_24]

Question for those that have custom built Wescos: What are the advantages and disadvantages to adding a lining inside the boot?

[Jett129]

It makes the boot warmer,which has it’s pros and cons,depending on the ambient temperature.

[goosehd]

@Alex_24 I like them for their warmth and stiffness.  They remind me of IH XHS jeans.  Super stiff at first (and for a long time), but once broken in are like a pair of sweatpants.

Their warmth can be a little much for the heat of summer and I will often wear unlined during the hottest days (kind of like XHS jeans).

Hope it helps.

[Dmart]

Exactly, they are warmer and the shaft takes long(er) to collapse because they are stiffer.

[bbrtns]

Indeed, lined is warmer and they hold shape a bit longer.

I have both, I love the unlined because it had minimal break-in and is very comfortable and soft.
But I also love the lined shaft because it adds a bit of heft and looks/feels great.

I would say the biggest difference is temperature of the boots, you can't go wrong either way.

I do believe the Johannes will always be lined because of the construction (it needs a bit of stiffer/thicker walls because of the lack of heel cup).
