In case anyone else is interested. Chris sent me some samples and here’s British tan compared to red wing amber harness. I ended up going with the Maryam natural horsehide. There’s some photos with natural Essex and natural CXL.

@bluemantra you made the right choice, loving the texture on the sample!

[bluemantra]

@SourPower thanks, yeah the honey combing looks great and it has this slight honey or caramel color compared to the Essex.

Admiring the grain of the teacore horsehide from Maryam tannery.

@hgering27 leave it to me to be looking at anything but the subject matter…. Those floor tiles are fantastic!!
Edit: boots ain’t too shabby either

[hgering27]

@flannel-slut hahah thanks, came with the house, a bit eccentric but its a cool pattern

[hgering27]

I’m having trouble passing on engineers that I keep seeing pop up right now. These ship John’s came out so damn good afternoon seeing the images I couldn’t pass them up. I just love anything lug sole

Also wearing them with my newly acquired 1955 OD denim

[SourPower]

@hgering27 amazing pick up, they look fantastic with the 1955s and the hem is perfect!

ISP Boss w/buckles by Iron Shop. Looking forward to my first wear on these.

@northsouthdenimguy saw your waywt post and those look super good on too. Nice pickup

[hgering27]

@northsouthdenimguy great pair. They’re a beast to break in but I love my pair

[JunkPants]

@northsouthdenimguy Really dig these. (Slight regret here not getting a pair, but reason won the day for once).

[northsouthdenimguy]

@JunkPants

Full disclosure, my internet buddy bought them and sold them to somebody else I knew and then I bought them from him…

I missed out when they released by minutes otherwise I would’ve bought this pair to start with

to start with lol

[mudhogen]

Just bought these on eBay. Can anyone tell if they are horsehide? I know there was a stock pair in horsehide identical to this released by Wesco that released a few years ago

[goosehd]

Wesco boots that I use for Arborist work. I don’t trust much else as I’ve stood on them for days 80 feet in the air and working the ground cleaning up job sites. If I have a chain saw in hand, these boots are on my feet.

I didn’t love these with a wedge sole, they looked a bit too much like posh Ugg boots so I had them changed over to a commando sole and what a transformation! Wesco Boss in roughout.

[Luijim78]

@NickD I agree with you mate, now they are really very beautiful congratulations

[bluemantra]

@NickD looks great. did you have wesco resole?

[NickD]

No, they were done by a local cobbler - I’m in the UK so sending them back to the US wouldn’t really be viable.
