SPECIAL REQUESTS: Vintage triple stitching please!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.

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!

It is, wanted them to be as waterproof as poss….
Very sensible choice, and I can attest that they will be. There is a pic of my black oil tanned boss somewhere here in six inches of icy water. My feet remained dry that day.
I’m impressed by the look of it. Any chance you could photograph the roughout inside of the shaft. I am formulating plan…
