@spacecadet thank you very much for this info.
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.

These Standard & Strange horsehide collaboration boots are perfection.

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

Those S&S Axe Breakers are calling my name…
Can I get some sizing advice folks? I've got narrow, long feet.
Viberg 2030 in 10.5 fit like a dream; I can wear Real McCoys boondockers and engineer boots in size 10 and its a tight but comfortable fit; in Alden I can wear 10-11 in the Indy boot depending on sock thickness and lacing.
What size should I be looking for in the Axebreaker 1339 last? They offer all in 'E' width, should I enquire about a 'D' width if possible?
edit: Bulatik85 - I'm assuming you're asking specifically about horsehide, as opposed to cordovan. In my experience, horsehide is a smoother, shinier leather that is thinner and more pliable than cow.

Ah apologies jdl1279, I should point out this is a build for Standard&Strange - https://standardandstrange.com/products/s-s-x-wesco-axe-breaker-horsehide-boot
They have a 10.5E that might fit, considering I'm 10.5 in Viberg's 2030, 10.5 generally in Alden's larger lasts, but just wanted advice from anyone with experience due to my freakish narrow but long feet.
