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.

Gave my kilties a close shave - like it better this way…

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

[neph93]

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

[Matty123]

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

[Jett129]

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

I have a lot of boots I love but damn it… just bury me in these.

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.

GAH do….We are putting them on a pair of custom Wesco's for a customer atm....

Who is GAH? Does he have email and website?  Thanks!

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.

[neph93]

That horsehide is just gorgeous. Beautiful boots.

[Chap]

Congrats!!! They look briliant

I revitalised TBWE-BUBO recently… should be here in a few weeks

[Palmer]

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!

If you wonder where the term OG comes from, it actually means Original Giles…
