@Giles:

Natural Essex veg tan….

Is that the Raptor sole?

[Giles]

Yep

@jdl1279 & @rblnr - thanks for your input around the slate / charcoal question which has lead me to change my order to charcoal roughout which is the colour in the image I added to my previous post. Cheers fellas

Oh man these are so good.  I may have to jump in on theses.

[summ3rhays]

Deposit sent.  Now I need to figure out what I want.  Haha

What did you decide Mike?

I'm pretty excited. I imagine they will look similar to Chris's worn pair in the thread or a chopped pair of the FP above.

Slate RO
MP toe
Brass
buckskin lining
Brown & Khaki stitching
Single midsole
430 sole

Those sound nice. I think the MP last should really dial in the profile compared to the sample pics. I opted for it too

My foot patrol boots are probably my best fitting pair of boots so it seemed like the best choice for me.  I like the rounder toe of the Boss, but I picked up a pair of Lofgren chukka's a while back that have that shape.

What did you go with?  I see you mentioned veg tan above.  I can't imagine trying to break in a veg tan pair.  Too tough for me.  My boots that have Latigo leather are a beast and I understand that's between veg tan and cxl.

Natty essex
MP last
Brown/white stitching
Brass eyes
100H outsole

The veg is a little stiff to start, but breaks in so buttery soft comparatively that it seemed perfect for a long life chukka

Just curious, I ordered these over a week ago, Alex sent an email with my options, I filled it out, hit submit, but never heard anything. Did I do everything correctly?

Hi Sam,

Apologies for not getting in touch. Everything was submitted perfectly. Your order is now with Wesco for production. We will be in touch when we have received your order here at the office.

Hi Chesson, Thank you very much..

A few more images…..

This one is an early prototype with a tapered rear upper, it did not work, but the build is great.

Deposit order . . . . . Placed 

My deposit order was placed on June 24, 2020, 10:45:23 am. Does anyone have any idea of when they will be ready and available . . . . . I am not great at waiting and I feel an update is better than nothing

[Giles]

Pretty soon, I would guess.  Production lead times with wesco are about 12-14 weeks atm….
