      Thanks, I’m quite pleased with them. I’ll likely swap out the nylon laces for rawhide ones once I’m allowed to venture out of the house again. Undecided on the kiltie though.

      I love the aesthetics of kilties and wouldn’t want to go without. They look especially good on these I think. They also have a valid function. Again, rawhide laces are my choice as a rule, and will look excellent here.

        That's definitely 9109 last. First Jobmaster I've seen built on it and I dig the look

          Thanks for the confirmation, these were factory seconds and it didn't specify the last. I really lucked out on the sizing, they're half a size down from my MP Boss size but wider (9109 EE vs 1339 E) and the fit is dead-on.

          Works on my machine.

            The 9109 is my favorite due to it being a little narrower compared to my Jobmasters. That and I like the overall shape of the bump toe a lot better.

                @Chris at Wesco or anyone,  Can the bee oil be used on my Romeo brown domain rough out? Thanks?

                Maybe so. Maybe not

                  Can be, but it will alter the colour and probably smooth out the nap.

                    I just cleaned mine ( they weren’t cool dirty) with saphir Omni nettonyant. And it worked. Now I want to condition

                      I can’t imagine anything with oil going well with rough out. Definitely test it on an obscure part first.

                          Basically, I went for a combination of 3 models of the Boss I want but unable to obtain:  Wesco Boss Horsehide 100th anniversary Japan exclusive, Wesco Boss Lynch Silversmith 100th anniversary 2017 model, and Ken Igari’s ridiculous black rough out double midsole monster.  I can’t get actual silver roller buckles unless someone volunteers to make them available and I’m not doing a double midsole boot again like Igari’s.  Looking forward to July when I get them.

                            GAH will make them for you, I’m sure.

                            Amazing specs and a great idea. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

                                    Thanks!  I will say I reached out to Lynch Silversmith first but they said they don’t make individual silver buckles .  I wish they did as they were the inspiration for this boot.  I even made the outsole thread black to reflect their black model’s outsole. 😢

                                    Made some adjustments on the order. Shaved from 10 inch to 9 inch based on the flexibility of the sole and all the threads are black.

                                      Yesterday afternoon I was glued to my window waiting for the UPS man to deliver my new boots.

                                      Here they are! Wesco 7500 in brown Horween horsehide. I went with the MP toe and a Vibram 430 sole with a natural midsole.

                                            Thanks guys, I love them. I wasn't quite sure about the natural midsole when I ordered them but as soon as I saw the contrast of the natural and deep brown tones I knew it was the right call.

                                            I ordered the Black Bear x Wesco Roughrider Plainsmen Jobmasters around the same time and I got the shipping notification for them today. Gonna be a slow break in process for these two pairs stuck in my house!
