      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!🤘😊

          This is my first pair of Jobmasters, and these may be my best fitting and most comfortable boots. Loving this last and leather, virtually no break in required out of the box.

            Shopping in Osaka came across some Wesco blue engineer boots already with patina and only 400 yen! Sizing could be tricky.

                    @Nik at first I thought you were buying full sized Wescos from a vending machine. Haha. I was like…man, they really use those vending machines for everything over there!!

                      @Mizmazzle you put your money in and have to wait at the vending machine for 18 months for them to arrive.

                          I’m curious if anyone’s put in an order with Wesco recently and what their current wait times are at the moment? Still 20+months?

                            @Mizmazzle At the moment i'm still advising people 20~24 months for custom builds to come through. Wesco have told me they're working to bring this lead time down as much as possible but i haven't seen it take effect as yet.

                            For now i'd just assume you're not going to see your build for 2 years and be pleasantly surprised if they come through sooner

                              I was listening to the ironcast podcast the other day and Chris was talking about lead times being 4 months lol. I would buy 3 pairs of boots a year if I only had to wait four months

                                @Ross that’s what I was figuring too. Guess I was hoping things would have started to swing by now.

                                  @Mizmazzle I placed an order with Chris last month and if memory serves me he quoted 12-14 months with the lead times shortening due to new hires.

                                            @northsouthdenimguy incredible collection! You ought to get a pair on a wedge sole if you like the look, I am always reaching for my short stacks because of how comfortable they are.
