@Denimhead-0 these things turned out pretty darned amazing, first pair of Lous for the Mrs. I believe its #9 for me lol.

My friend Micha from Hamburg and his son Yannik, at White Sands National Park in New Mexico. They’re both proudly wearing their Wesco Boss Engineer Horsehide boots. I must admit, I’m a little jealous of their bike trip across the U.S.

@Shane-B Epic

[hgering27]

My IHG Boss in British Tan. Owned about 16 months or so. Probably my top 2 in my rotation

[Northman]

@hgering27 Not the same but can't wait for my derrolls when I see pics like this.

[northsouthdenimguy]

Wore my Derrolls this weekend. Some crocking on the shaft, but otherwise I’ve kept them pretty clean.

My custom Boss in Horsehide

The eye candy in this thread never disappoints! Not only is there some great inspiration, but seeing Wesco boots worn - and worn hard - is pretty dang cool.

One of my Derroll recrafts that I found on the secondary market last year went back to Wesco HQ last week. The left boot had a weirdly flat instep. Chris offered to add some leather buildup to the appropriate last and let that boot sit in an effort to stretch it out and accommodate my high instep. I'm anxious to see of we can make them work, especially after seeing all the pictures here of the roughout leather.

I also have another pair of Wesco boots showing up today... but lips are sealed until they are in my hands. Super stoked on these...

Has anybody here requested the old school Wesco emblem on their custom boots instead of the 100th anniversary emblem? Any luck?

How do people size Jobmasters compared to their Mr Lou size?

[Ross]

@Damocles I go with the same size in both but I know some of the guys here go down a half size or go from an E to a D. Jobmasters are just a little more generous, especially in the toe box

[dirtyframer]

@Damocles same size.

From WESCO- if you go with Morrisons same length and go down 1 width, if something with the 4014 (lower heel) last go down 1/2 size same width, all other same size/width.

[injunjack]

@Damocles
same size but E width instead of D, I think this was pretty much rule of thumb when Lous' came out. Works for me. (looking at some advice here I hope it's not the same folks that buy 2 sizes down jeans and hope they'll stretch....)

[Damocles]

@injunjack thanks - I did read something that initially with Lous you had to go up a width but do we know for granted if this is still the case nowadays - this would consequently mean that you have to go up a width on the jobmasters too..?

[injunjack]

@Damocles I have also later ones in Maryam leather, also in 9E and they fit similarly as early Horween. I think if the fit has changed they'd changed the last, and I think they haven't. My best bet is that go up with width not lenght. This is based on my pair of BOSS and 2 pairs of Lous.

New Romeos. A bargain.
