@Engineer:

I finally got around to taking some pics of the new packers:

Going a ways back admiring everyone's Wesco's as I am just about to pull the trigger on a pair.  @Engineer do you have any updates on these?  They are gorgeous.

[Engineer]

@BloodnThunder Thank you, sir!  I haven't worn them as much as they deserve, but here's a picture from a few weeks ago.  In bright light they're more of a burgundy-brown, and in ambient light they're primarily burgundy.  I also lightly shined them with some Saphir neutral polish.

Thanks @Engineer they really are an awesome boot.

@Appfaff  Nice!!!  I bet you'll love them - they look like awesome boots!  They'll be heavy as hell, too, with the extra midsole and full lining.    My Packers are the heaviest boots in my wardrobe, and they're single midsole and unlined.

@BloodnThunder Thank you, sir!

These Wesco x Standard & Strange Van Cleef Boss boots are on the Wesco seconds page (no defects) in size 11.5E for ony $340:

I like their name. They're stunning, too!

I've got a pair waiting at the house for me. I'll try to get some pics up when I get back in town.

I've had my eyes on those, just not sure how Wesco sizing tends to run.

[Clint_D]

They seem to typically fit on par with whatever you measure on a Brannock device.  If I remember correctly, S&S mentioned that these run a little narrow.  I went with an 11E as I fall between a 10.5 to 11 and normally a D width.

In my admittedly limited experience a little small. I think it also depends on the last to a degree, and the MP and western toes are narrow.

[Broark]

Thanks for the feedback y'all, I think they might be too narrow in the toe for me.
My Viberg engineer boots are a size 12 and are a little big, but fit perfectly with an insole and some boot weight socks.

Joined the Wesco club yesterday.  Went to a recently opened men's store, Division Road, here in Seattle on Saturday and made the wise choice, or mistake depending on how you look at it, to try on a special collaboration boot they did with WESCO.  Basically fell in love with them but wasn't ready to pull the trigger on $650 boots.  Slept on it two days and went back yesterday to snag them before someone else did.  I'll try and get some real pics as soon as I can but for now here they are via Division Road, Inc. (Also encourage everyone to check out their other stuff.  They're a great couple of guys that are really passionate and knowledgable about the brands they carry).

@BloodnThunder Great purchase!!!  I have the same boots, too, and I've really been enjoying them.

[neph93]

Saw them on IG. They look frikkin' awesome. Sorely tempted to ask for the specs and try to incorporate them into a custom model to buy via The Bootery.

Excellent purchase [emoji1434]

Great looking boots! The Domain roughout looks spectacular, but I'd prefer speed hooks for the last two lace loops rather than eyelets.

I may be in the queue right behind you [emoji3]

[BloodnThunder]

Agreed.  I think speed hooks are about the only thing I'd change on the boots.  Nowhere near a deal breaker though.
