@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).

@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

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.

@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.

[mudhogen]

Pictures don’t do these justice. After a bit of research I found out they are horween horsehide

@mudhogen
What’s the story with the stitching?

[mudhogen]

@Go-For-Chill the thick white stitching is a bit wonky for sure. They are probably B grades but it’s less noticeable in person and on foot.

[northsouthdenimguy]

Glad I could get in on that last little restock. This olive green is really nice and fortunately as dark as I thought it would be.

[Mizmazzle]

@mudhogen I really like that build. Is that a jobmaster of some sort?

[mudhogen]

@Mizmazzle yes, it is 8” regular toe jobmaster. These were a limited stock release wesco did in 2020.

[SourPower]

@northsouthdenimguy nice pickup!

[motojobobo]

Beautiful boots @northsouthdenimguy !

Embracing the crocking

Annual cleaning and shine.

Hello! I’m super curios if anyone in this thread owns a pair of the Wesco X Blubaugh engineer boots with some age, patina pictures how they look worn in..? Any thoughts at all.

I’m looking for a black pair of engineers I can rotate with my brown rough out Derroll boots from Ship John. And I can’t decide on what look I’m after. Regular shiny black horsehide, rough out black or the black waxed steerhide Blubaugh version that I think also looks really cool!

Would be cool just to see some pictures or hear any thoughts at all. Thanks in advance!
