WESCO

[Dstauffer]

ok, I'm super confused and am going to sound like a real noob here, but what is the difference between a "build" and a "last"?

I have been reading through there and seeing things like "a packer build, but on a XXXX last"….isn't the last a part of the build?

[Jett129]

If you go to the Wesco site you can build your own boots,once you’ve done that it’s commonly referred to as your build. Hope this helps.

The term «build» describes the specs of the entire build. The «last» is the form (traditionally made of wood) that the boot is built around.

They look like this:

So, like I read earlier" "a packer build, but on a XXXX last" just means the specs are identical to a packer (ie height, instep, lacing, etc), except for the last?

They are very nice @upcap. The Latina on those will Be something to
Behold. @neph93 boot game is strong

Meh… my Wesco game is fairly decent. Stops there though. It’s the result of too many misspent evenings (that stretched into nights) geeking out with their build tool on the internet. Probably should have been staring at Latinos instead...

LatinO’s are men. But hey it’s 2018. Let your freak flag fly

A latino is someone who makes neph93 happy.

@Dstauffer

The last will affect the instep and height is optional on Wesco custom builds but something like that.

In Wesco-speak you get the term «toe» refered to a lot (MP toe, Boss toe, bump toe etc). What that refers to is the last. So the standard Boss last (that you have on your burlap shorties) is different from the Motor Patrol last. Both my Wesco Engineers are Boss boots built on the Motor Patrol last. So they have all the features of a Boss (straps/stay/shaft cut/stitching) but the toe shape of a MP boot.

I have a soft spot for them as they are generally very hard to get pregnant….

In Neph- speak that means marginally less fecund than hot Ingrid…..

Thank you @upcap . Hope to see future pics showing how they age. Super nice!

By the way @Giles  @Chris at Wesco  what leathers are available at the moment? I notice that the brown domain and the olive burlap have gone from the boot builder. I’m considering a new pair of custom boss and wondering what my options are…

I've got my first pair of WESCO coming in a few days!

I picked up the division road x wesco jobmaster British Tan. These look so great

Those look awesome. Division Road has done really good Wesco and Viberg makeups.

I have a stock pair of Jobmasters coming my way to get my sizing down.

[Dstauffer]

These were an amazing build and I was soooo tempted to pull the trigger…I am excited to hear that there may be a waxed flesh or roughout version in the future

It amazes me that these are still on the Factory Seconds page…
