WESCO
-
I’m really starting to think my wife is on to something. She had stated several times ‘ I think you have a problem! ‘ after having to ‘collect my collection ‘ I think she possibly might be right.
Does anyone else have this problem?
The last pic is of the engineer I received and posted about a few months back. They are coming along nicely. Love this thread and obviously love me some Wesco. I wonder if they actually sponser goons like myself..

My wife recently asked me if my newish Wesco’s were new. I said no I’d shown her them already (which was the case), she «I don’t really take much notice anymore, they’re nice though». It was the greatest conversation we’ve ever had.
I’m one pair behind you on the Wescos. Four pairs of pull-ons one pair of short shaft lace ups. I have a pair of Vibergs and a pair of Dundas as well though

I see 0 problems here
Seconded. In fact, there’s lots more room to accommodate more pairs on that bench.

I dig these Wesco Jobmasters from Division Road. Any ideas as to fit on these compared to other brands? These remind me of the Red Wing Lineman’s [emoji108]

The anniversary engineer boots look great. Naildown construction instead of stitchdown is interesting as well.

@Giles I gues you could make some boots with exactly these specs, right? I Need to save Money at the Moment, but would definitely try to get those at some point.

Anyone?

Ok, thanks. The Brown ones are Close to my dream set up and I hope that I can afford them anytime soon.

^ Unlined with rolled top and Vibram Christy, otherwise pretty much that.
I think this is a rather bland Jobmaster with nothing particularly interesting going for it, bar the British Tan leather which looks good. The IH-collab Jobmaster in brown RO with Gloxi-sole that @Max Power already has is much nicer.

The horsehide on the S&S collab pair on the right looks really good in photos, wish something like that was more widely available.
That horsehide is available at Wesco, I saw it when I was at the factory in Feb. You could do a custom in your style from it with ease.

@Max:
Anyone?
Have you considered the Red Wing Lineman 2904's? I don't know how they compare to Wesco's but they're a lot cheaper.

from that pic but they look like 6” Jobmasters using British domain, Lace to toe, lined, raptor sole, white heavy stitching, brown upper stitching, nylon laces.
not bad, not bad
I cheated and went to the Division Road web store since I like them as well. Here's what they have listed:
•British Tan Domain – Seidel (USA)
•7" Height
•65 Last - D Width
•Unlined
•Lace to Toe Jobmaster Upper
•Vibram
4014 Christy Sole
•Natural Midsole
•Brass Eyelets
•Gusseted Tongue
•Partial Structured Toe
•Steel Shank with Full Leather Insole
•Natural Rawhide Leather and Nylon Workman Laces
•British Tan Domain Kiltie
•Double Rapid E Stitch
•Stitchdown ConstructionSo I think you are only one or two credits short of having your Doctorate in Wesco builds. I am weak for British Tan Domain on almost every build I encounter.

Thanks for all the replies. I know those Red Wings, but they just don't do it for me anymore. Of course the Division Road Jobmasters are Close to the rough Outs I have, but it's just my favourite boot & combination of mateirals and shape. The british tan is just so nice. But a custom build in horeshide could also be something.
