        A few pics of the British tan Domane and chestnut brown oil tan leather samples. Both are great but the British tan is a clear winner for me. Both leathers were actually the same thickness but Chris at Wesco said the British tan is generally a tad thinner usually. You can see the pull-up of the British tan after I folded it in half. I took pics of the roughout side as well. One pic was before and after I brushed the nap up with a suede brush. The chestnut brown is stiff, does not stretch, and has no pull-up while the British tan is more flexible, can stretch a bit, and has lots of pull-up.

            Plus one.

            This is very useful. I think the domain leathers are always going to be more attractive than the oil-tanned leathers. But the new oil tanned looks a serious step up from the standard brown oil tanned in terms of looks. That combined with the practical qualities of the oil-tanned leather will be tough to beat.

              I’m all about the roughout and I think the tan loses something in that config. It’s settled. Burlap it is.

                Sure. No problem guys. Oil tan is probably my favorite leather. I already have several pairs of boots in black and brown oil tan. Just prefer the lighter color of the British tan for my next build.

                  Same here. Oil tan for working boots is just about perfect.

                      Yeah.  I wish I could afford them right now.  They are really great.

                                They’re sooooo nice. Might have to «borrow» that c/w when I get over my current pull-on obsession.

                                    I’ve always been a fan (although packers are nice too and the hybrid permutations complicate things further), but the Smokejumpers are all the lace up I need at the moment. I’ll sort it one day.

                                            I have never had boots from horsehide, what is the difference comparing to cow leather, I guess that domain leather is from cow skin?
