IHWE-Build-3 - Iron Heart/Wesco® - 1930's Boss Boot

Agreed on the beauty of this boot.
The brown domain looks fantastic, great depth and texture.

These are 9E. @dylantbmayes wears 9E in these, which is the same size as he wears in Red Wing engineers…

^Great shots mate, that leather looks amazing. Never thought I was a "boss" person, but these look shit hot!

Now that I see them side by side, the vamp stitching on the left one has an irregularity. I thought it may have been intentional but the right boot doesn't share it. I'm assuming in production the stitching would be parallel.
It is a great looking boot.

In your original pics G.
Left boot, right below the large buckle. (I think anyway) -
Wow

I really like the idea of a "boss" style boot for the skinnier legged denim bearers. Perhaps not having had the pleasure of owing a pair, ever I may be holding onto misconceptions about boss "flare" underneath the jeans and am not a fan, personally, of the blouson style of tucking jeans into boots.
Perhaps it's a case that boot cut is exactly that for boss wearing reasons? Maybe a 6" pull up would be more like it.
Apologies, thinking out loud. Incredible looking boots D97…

Those 30s are gorgeous. And @Fergz i find that all cuts of IH that I own (634, BB, 666, and even 555) fit over the shafts of my engineer boots with "standard' builds. As far as I've personally seen in the wild, only motorcycle cops tuck their pants in their boots. But I also know you can ask to have Wesco Boss boots built with thinner shafts, and some folks on this forum have had qualified cobblers successfully narrow the shafts on their engineer boots.

Thanks for the feedback @Bluegrass
I guess Wesco can build anything once the specs are solid. Good to know that the boss boots work on your 666 and 555 fits. Both particular favourites of mine.
