WESCO
-
Saw my boots at the finishing line during Wesco and Good Art's Instagram Live video yesterday. They're almost done!
-
…@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.
-
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.
-
Question for those that have custom built Wescos: What are the advantages and disadvantages to adding a lining inside the boot?
-
@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.
-
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).
-
Thanks for the input on the topic! I’m going to stick with my original thinking: no lining. I want a boot I can wear year-round, so extra warmth is not something I need. I think the Wesco Redwood leather is thick enough (7oz. oil-tanned) to suit my purposes. Plus, I’m going for Redwood Roughout, so the smooth side will be inside the boot anyway, which should allow for a comfortable wear.

Redwood RO! Sounds rad

I have a lined boss boot. I liked it because it holds its shape better and just feels better overall. It was hot wearing them during the summer though.

…@Jett129 as I patiently wait for my custom Wesco's to be built I was banging through the XHS-777-IND thread because I just purchased a pair and low and behold I ran into your post from way back on your 777's and saw the picture that got me rolling on the boots!!
...my patience is growing thin!! I want my boots!!
